The North Evo 2012 continues to combine the typical characteristics of a Delta design. Easy handling with C-kite feeling, suitable both for freestyle and freeride, a large wind range and easy water relaunch make this kite extremely versatile in use. It bridges the gap between the North Rebel and the Vegas.

 The North Evo is quiet possibly the most versatile kite in the North range; a crossover kite that performs as well in the surf as it does for unhooking and throwing the latest new-school tricks. Smooth, predictable power delivery and steady C-like bar feel invite you to unhook and push your new-school moves to the next level, throw massive kite loops or boost big airs.

 The Evo 2012 also offers excellent depower ability and quick, predictable turning and drift ideal for the more surf-minded kiters. Whatever the day brings, you will always be prepared to take advantage of the conditions. Whether you´re into stomping freestyle tricks, shredding waves, jumping, cruising or all of the above, the Evo's got you covered!

 Being the perfect crossover weapon between freeride and newschool freestyle, the 2012 Evo has a huge performance range to tickle nearly every rider’s fancy!

 Precise kite loops allow you to throw every variation of kite loop to your heart’s content. Amazing low-end power gets you up and riding in light wind and the auto re-launch lets you go for broke without a second thought of getting your kite back up; Simply let go of the bar and the kite will do the work for you!

 New relaunch bungees prevent any lines from snagging on the wingtips during re-launch and construction details have been improved to prevent wear and tear. The Evo can be ridden on 4 or 5 lines depending on your preference. The Evo is easier than ever. EVO Epic!

 The new profile for the North EVO 2012 is more powerful and has improved the upwind ability with added low wind riding in the larger sizes. Now complete with the Lazy Pump system.

 Impressive light wind ability, enormous range, forgiving flying characteristics and easy bar feeling are just some of the unique features of the new North EVO 2012. Continuous EVOlution!

 North Evo 4 / 5 Line control:

The North Evo 2012 can be ridden on 4 or 5 line control bars, uniting new-school and free-ride in one kite. The Evo‘s delta shape offers great sheet and-go riding, excellent wind range and high de-power.

 The overall shape helps the Evo turn quickly and predictably while the new bridle geometry stabilizes the arc for a soft, consistent bar feel and extreme back-stall resistance.

 The 4-line mode boasts an innovative new safety system and bar-feel prefect for those who prefer soft, easy handling.

 In 5-line mode the 5th Element additionally stabilizes the arc, providing very direct bar-feel for new-school riding and the ultimate 5th line safety.

 Auto re-launch means that you can go for it and never have to worry about re-launchng your kite. Just take your hands off the bar and let the kite do the work for you!

 For 2012 the EVO features the new “Adaptive Tip”. In recent years, there has been a trend leaning towards more reactive kites with even lighter sheeting forces than in the past. Such kites are really comfortable, lively for wave riding and offer more forgiving kite loops because they pivot around the wingtip. However, comparison tests have shown that North team riders and testers actually prefer kites with a harder bar feel because they offer better feedback, precise steering and more dynamic turning, which in turn creates more power.

The new “Adaptive Tip” allows users to easily change the sheeting force and turning performance through a simple back pigtail adjustment, allowing you to customize your kite to your desired style and feel.
