Ventum MUTE V1 – Advanced Series - 5 Strutter - Big Air

[Ole81]

Auf der Suche nach ner neuen Bar, bin ich bei Ventum auf einen neuen 5 Strutter in der AS Variante (SLS) gestoßen. Da der Kite erst vorbestellt werden kann und eine mögliche Lieferung erst im Oktober ist, wird es sicherlich noch keine Erfahrung im Feld geben, aber interessant finde ich ihn trotzdem, aber falls doch, immer raus mit der Sprache

Vielleicht liest hier ja auch das Team Ventum mit und kann ein wenig über den Mute V1 berichten.

Mich würde interessieren, wie sich der Kite springen lässt, ob es eher in Richtung Orbit, Nitro oder XR, Rebel geht.

Actually there is a small batch out there in the full size range used by a development group testing many aspects. Even on a >110kg person in high wind the kite holds its shape well.

Input was collected and with all input 2 more samples with small variation were produced.
These 3 kites are now tested each day in Brazill for final decicions.
In 14 days from now the production starts based on these findings.

After testing the full range of design parameters found in 5 strut 'big-air' kites. From mid AR (Orbit) to high AR (Edge) and all in between, we ended up closer to the Orbit than Edge with regards of feel/behavior/performance.

Sure its not identical, we ended with a bit higher AR than Orbit and deeper profile etc but its more similar to that than to XR/Edge etc. Low-end on the Mute seems good btw.

The kite is a Ventum Advanced Series, 9m is around 3.2kg. Its not made to be light as possible! Many tests (material, strut constructions, LE constructions, different methods of reinforcement etc) have been performed both on tensile machine and by actually inflating tubes till they exploded to obtain a balance between the performance and durability.

Once in stock there will be multiple reviews coming from non sponsored sources.



Currently testing in Brazill, waiting for some high-end tests:
