At the heart of the EXO is the Energy Dispersion Frame, a hexagonal structure built with various stiffness and volume degrees to control its flex and resistance. Its main advantage is that it is connected directly to the spreader bar so directly transfers the load and therefore receives 100% of the kite power thus distributing the pressure over a much wider area. For 2017 tweaks and improvements have been made including the addition of Ballistic Nylon for improved strength and changes have also been made to the outline to improve all round comfort. $279 | €249 | £219 TheKiteMag.com
