Flies also without number, see below.

And also flies outside the city, see below.

The number is always two digits, e.g. 07 too. It's inverse, cut out of the black Icarex-background, hence in the color of the kite. The number appears also prominently on the Tube. Zero branding on the kite.

Typography: The numbers are hand crafted for exactly this kite. They are based on the legible digits of the Helvetica and are modified for smooth cutting and the bold look.

The no-number-version has, instead of the black number square, a third small reinforcement in transparent Dyneema-Composite-Fabric®.

Urban turbulence

Urban ninja: the numbers. Extremely agile and controllable, this most reactive kite of the atelier Horvath will respond immediatly to your inputs.

The compact kite loves indoor floating, a fast trash-flight in the backyard or floating on thermals 100 meters high. Packed in the protective black tube, it's ready for a spontaneous flight. Freestyle anytime.

Indoor you may adjust the flight-characteristic to a smaller office or a high studio space. Or just according to your mood.

For flights with hard bandages there's a small set of stickers included to protect the exposed details. Asphalt and concrete can be quite abrasive, depending on your flying style.

With an unbreakable frame and the fast assembling, this zero-wind-kite is also ideal for bright kids.

Do you freestyle?


The good lines for this kite: a short Zero.4 on Microwinder in the Tube for urban flights. Optional: a long Zero.4 on a reel for high flights in a bit of wind or floating on thermals. Of course, the kite also feels comfortable in the cool shadows of a forest.
