OVERVIEW
Made with durability, reliability and the highest performance in mind, Best presents their Nemesis HP as the perfect kite for any level and style of rider. The key to the HP's performance is its Cuben fiber hybrid construction. Going through its third generation in 2008, the leading edge is thinner and stiffer than ever before. That allows this kite to have an extremely aerodynamic profile capable of cutting through the air for some of the best upwind and jumping ability you've ever seen.

The VP2 bridle and depower system is comprised of a dual short-throw pulley that optimizes load distribution between the wingtips and the center of the LE, giving you a more rigid and stable kite that delivers less pitching, ensuring that stability remains unaffected by depower. That means less bar travel for full depower and maximum freedom to your riding.

Style: SLE
Sizes: 7m, 9m, 10m, 12m, 14m

EXPERT OPINION
The new Nemesis has unbelievable hang time and lifts you up so smooth at the same time. It is easy to control and has a direct feeling, which I really like. It just turns perfectly and kite loops great too … and it even has that slack in the lines when you pop that makes it easy for unhooked tricks and handle passes. It somehow combines all the best attributes of a bow kite and a C-kite in one and just seems to work for every discipline. The Nemesis just seems to have it all for me!

FEATURES
• Cuben fiber means a faster flying, more aerodynamic and stiffer kite.
• The VP2 system optimizes load distribution between the wingtips and the center of the LE.
• Direct rear bridle allows full customization of turning speed, depower and bar pressure.

WINGTIP
Multilayer Dacron wingtip panels distribute turning forces for unmatched responsiveness and self-launching without risk of damage. The curved wingtip profile improves aerodynamics and eliminates vortex-induced drag.

INFLATION
The Nemesis HP can come with either single-point or traditional inflation. The optional single-point E-Z pump total inflation system comes with standard inflate and high-volume deflate valves.
