Med BMX justeres depower stroppen blot til den afstand du kan lide at have bommen fra kroppen. Baren har desuden fået integreret Chicken loop, så du selv kan bestemme hvor stort et chicken loop "hul" du ønsker, men ikke mindst har fået baren så tæt på kroppen som overhoved muligt.
Med BMX får du en "bow/SLE" kite der føles som en "C" kite, men som også har fordelene fra "Bow/SLE" kitsene. Du kan med BMX føle hvor kiten er, men stadigvæk med et meget let pres på baren.
Hertil kommer også alle fordelene ved CLS (femte-line) systemet som BMX også har, hvilket endvidere betyder at selve kiten har et minimum af bridels i forhold til de fleste andre "bow/SLE" kites.
Nedenunder kommer Wipika's egen beskrivelse af kiten:
:: MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
:: BIG AIR
:: TOTAL DEPOWER
:: 100% PROVEN SAFETY SYSTEM
2008 BMX - THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS:
"C" kite handling + “Bow” kite performance
The all new 2008 BMX is the symbiosis between the classic “C” kites and the new bow kites. The constant R&D over 10 years resulted in a completely new concept. The flat arc-design of the canopy guarantees maximum performance and with just 2 bridles and 2 pulleys the kite can provide massive depower and keeps the responsiveness of a “C” kite. Easy handling with the fuss-free 5-line set-up with the proven CLS 5th line – introduced by Wipika in 2003 and now used by most of our competitors – stands for maximum safety, easy relaunch and depower&repower on demand. Heavy duty-construction with reinforcements in high-stress areas, but no weight-adding gimmicks like battens or spider-web bridles. One bar fits all kites – either BMX or MX.
The BMX - kite for all riders looking for huge lift, big air and vast range.

CENTRAL LINE SYSTEM
The best thing since sliced bread.
The CLS 5th line simplifies relaunch. No swimming necessary. Enhancing safety, the CLS allows you to depower and repower on demand. Two leading edge attachment points distributes load over more area, unlike other 5th line systems. The no-hassle bar works well hooked or unhooked. Rig the CLS and see what the hype is all about.
Single Strut
Innovative one-piece construction maintains a precise shaped profile whilst still being light & durable due to single panel.
Kitesaver Strip
Reinforced double layer panel protects & separates Dacron LE & main rip-stop canopy, avoids need for unstitching Dacron LE in canopy repair.
Pump Leash
No more hanging on to the kite while pumping up, leave that to the pump leash. Pump with both hands, wave to friends or finish your drink.
Easy-Connect pigtails
Wipika pigtails and flying lines are matched so they can only be connected the correct way. Plus, they’re color-coded making it even easier to hook your lines up and go.
Direct-Connect
Wipika kites are ready to fly directly out of the bag. No bar rigging. Just connect the lines and go.
Emergency Handles
Can fly the kite directly from the wingtips in self rescue.
Easy Pump System
Struts have ball valves for accurate inflation & an insert for easy deflation. No valve on LE as it restricts quick inflation. Dump valve on LE for instant deflation.
CLS Attachments
Immediate depower when CLS activated. 2 attachment points ensure kite keeps its profile in flight & less chance of damage if bowtie twist situation occurs.
Rip-stop Nylon Panelling
Durable for protection, lightweight for performance.
Double Layer Teijin Trailing Edge
High grade rip-stop fabric ensures durability without excess weight to disrupt performance.
Segmented Leading Edge & Integrated Struts
Ensures precise profile for perfect performance.
Reinforced Dacron Wingtips
For durability & connection points.
Cordura Bumper Protection
Bomb proof protection.
Dacron Leading Edge & Reinforcements
Durability & strength in shape.
Strut enforcers
Strut connection enforcement points on LE to combat strut ripping away from LE, essential if kite crashes in waves.
Fulcrum Reinforcing
Webbing line attachments, specially designed to withstand wrenching & excessive loading any all directions.
