Step up your flying experience with the Synapse 170 Stunt Kite, designed for pilots who want more power and presence than the Synapse 140. With a larger wing and increased sail area, this kite delivers stronger pull while maintaining smooth, controlled handling. It’s fast and responsive, yet stable enough for newer pilots building confidence with dual-line flying. The frameless, packable design makes it ideal when space is limited and you only want to bring one kite along. Bold performance and easy portability come together in a single, ready-to-fly package. This kite is built for pilots who want speed with substance.

High-Aspect Wing with Increased Power

The Synapse 170 features a larger high-aspect wing that provides noticeably more pull and authority in the sky. The added wingspan allows the kite to track smoothly while delivering sharper, more decisive turns. It steers with precision, offering fingertip control that feels immediate and intuitive. Despite the extra power, the wing remains forgiving and predictable, making it approachable for beginners. The larger size also makes it capable of pulling long tube tails in moderate to strong winds. This balance of power and control makes every flight feel dynamic and engaging.

Frameless, All-Fabric Construction

Built with an all-fabric sail and no rigid frame, the Synapse 170 eliminates the risk of broken spars and complicated repairs. The frameless design allows the kite to fold down small while remaining strong and flexible in flight. Durable fabric construction helps the sail handle higher wind loads without sacrificing longevity. With no assembly required, setup is quick and hassle-free wherever you fly. Simply unfold the sail, unwind the lines, and launch. This design prioritizes reliability, simplicity, and travel-friendly performance.

Ultra Low-Stretch Dyneema Line Setup

The Synapse 170 comes equipped with ultra low-stretch Dyneema flying lines, offering noticeably quicker response compared to standard polyester lines. The included 75-foot, 150 lb rated lines provide strength and precision even in higher wind conditions. Reduced line stretch translates to instant feedback and tighter control during turns and dives. Flight straps and a line winder are included to complete the setup. All components pack neatly into the compact drawstring pouch. This ready-to-fly configuration ensures consistent performance straight out of the bag.

Wind Range and Care

This kite flies confidently in winds ranging from 5 to 25 mph, giving it a wider usable range than smaller models. It performs smoothly in lighter winds while still handling stronger conditions with stability. After flying, allow the sail and lines to dry fully before storage to maintain fabric quality. Store the kite loosely in its pouch to prevent creases and tangles. Periodically inspect the lines for wear to ensure safe, responsive flying. With basic care, the Synapse 170 remains a powerful and dependable stunt kite.
