Carrying the heritage of the previous ERA, the 2009 model maintains great power with improved handling. The ERA received a new and even more stable profile with increased LE diameter on the tips to support a direct rear line attachment. This gives the ERA an even faster turning speed and makes it more responsive even when depowered. The more stable profile also helps depower, jumping and upwind performances. A strong 5 attachment point bridle instead of 4 completes the list of kite improvements for this year.
