Lively, nimble, and easy to ride, the Reach is North's most versatile go-to kite for all conditions. Lighter overall with more reactive steering, the 2026 Reach has a slimmer N-Max2 LE for faster-flying and extra bridle points for structural support. The kite's new profile enables cleaner airflow and a smoother feel, with more lift for easier transitions. A more swept design, slightly higher aspect ratio, and refined bridling deliver more direct steering and dynamic recovery, with quick, responsive depower. It excels in light wind and surf, and gives rise to confident boosts, freeride and freestyle. In the 13-19m, the light wind Reach is fast-flying with consistent drive forward.
