The Cabrinha Crossbow IDS launches Cabrinha into an entirely new era of Performance Freeriding by raising the standard of kite control and handling yet again. At the heartbeat of this new design is the innovative Intelligent Depower System (IDS) technology.
The Crossbow IDS delivers in all areas of power and range of use that you would expect from a Cabrinha Freeride kite. Incorporating Dynamic Arc progression which reduces the flatness of the arc as kite sizes get smaller. Resulting in larger sized kites with the flattest arcs & higher aspect ratios for light wind efficiency and smaller kites with more pronounced arc & lower aspect ratios for easier handling in stronger winds.
This unique design progression makes the Crossbow IDS a chameleon when it comes to challenging wind conditions. Fast flying, quick turning and a wide wind range blow the doors wide open for high performance riding in any type of discipline or conditions.

  Various remarks (Shop)
What's New IDS - INTELLIGENT DEPOWER SYSTEM Dynamic Arc Progression - Flatter large kites more 'C shaped' smaller kites (for greater efficiency) Powerdrive IDS Control System Light Bar Pressure - Virtually none by comparison to previous 2 to 1 Xbow systems New Durability Measures Improved Airlock airflow - Faster beach inflation  Riders looking for the ultimate in all round freeride performance will be able to reduce their quivers to potentially 2 kites for example a 16m and an 11m for a rider of 90kgs will now cover a huge wind range up to and above 30kts (Pete Cabrinha's words... ) Advantages1. Saftey 2. Simplicity 3. Self Landing 4. Total Depower Features5th line functionality with only 4 lines New Cabrinha Designed pulleys Depower on Demand: 1st Stage Depower Absolute depower for landing the kite: 2nd Stage Depower Improved, direct steering. No pulleys on control bar. Enhanced Control System Instant Relaunch The Intelligent Depower System (IDS) provides an amazing level of control with minimum rider effort and input. Most of all it is SIMPLE. IDS is a simplified bridle and control system exclusive to Cabrinha. IDS produces virtually no bar pressure while delivering precise control of the steering and power of your kite. IDS is so intuitive that it seamlessly provides 2 stages of depower. Interactive Depower on Demand while riding, and an Absolute Depower method to land your kite. Absolute Depower functions similar to a 5th line system, but without the complexity of the 5th line. IDS equipped kites use only 4 lines for a simple, uncluttered method of control and security. Additionally, the IDS bridle maintains all of the instant relaunch functionality that are synonimous with Cabrinha kites. IDS will be implemented on all 2009 kites including the XBow, Switchblade and the Convert. Warning do not try to retrofit new IDS control bars with non IDS Kites, Cabrinha do not recommend that any of their riders to try and integrate new 2009 bars with pre 2009 kites for safety functionality reasons.
