Airush Lithium V14 Kite — The Ultimate All-Round Freeride Kite
The Airush Lithium V14 has long been a benchmark in the freeride kite category — and the latest iteration continues to set the standard. Intuitive in the hands, wide in its wind range, and durable enough to handle years of demanding UK sessions, the Lithium V14 is perfect for riders of all levels who want one kite that does everything well.
Whether you're cruising in 15 knots, sending big boosts in 25, or learning your first transitions, the Lithium V14 delivers consistent, confidence-inspiring performance that adapts to your riding style rather than dictating it. This is the kite that comes recommended time and again by Northern Watersports — because it genuinely works for the widest range of riders.
Key Features
All-round freeride performance
The Lithium excels as a versatile freeride kite, offering outstanding stability and predictability in the air. Intuitive handling and light bar pressure make it ideal for beginners finding their feet, intermediates building their skills, and experienced riders who want a reliable everyday kite. Exceptional park ability keeps the kite stable and in position while you focus on your riding.
Delta hybrid design for wide wind range
A three-strut delta hybrid shape delivers excellent power, a wide wind range, and quick response through the window. Optimised wingtip geometry and strut layout enable instant relaunch even in challenging conditions — essential for those unexpected crashes in cold UK water.
Technoforce D2 canopy
Constructed from high-density, double-coated Technoforce D2 ripstop fabric, the Lithium V14's canopy is crisp, responsive, and built to resist UV degradation and abrasion. This material maintains its shape and performance session after session, season after season.
Airush Bumpers and Kevlar reinforcements
Strategically placed Airush Bumpers protect the leading edge from wear on rough sand and rocks, while Kevlar reinforcements in critical areas add durability without adding weight. The Lithium V14 is built to last.
Compact single pulley bridle
Optimised for responsive steering and exceptional stability, the compact single pulley bridle combines the direct feel of a fixed bridle with the depower advantages of a pulley system — giving you the best of both worlds.
Adjustable bar pressure
Two bar pressure adjustment settings let you tune the feel of the kite to your personal preference — lighter pressure for longer sessions and easier progression, firmer for more direct feedback when riding powered.
Single Point Inflation System (SPS)
An oversized valve allows fast inflation and deflation, with Fast Bladder Inflation (FBI) technology — reinforced thick tubing that prevents kinks and ensures a quick, hassle-free setup on the beach.
