If fast and zippy sounds fun but you want a little more kite than the 140, the Synapse 170 delivers. The larger wing gives it more pull and the included Dyneema flying lines are ultra low-stretch compared to polyester, giving you fingertip response and instant control.
Stable and forgiving enough for new pilots, the 170 is also big enough to pull a long tube tail in moderate to strong winds. With no assembly required and no frame to break, it’s the perfect choice when you’re short on space and can only bring one kite along.
Flies in a wider wind range than the 140 and comes ready to fly with no assembly required- just unfold the sail, unwind the lines and let the wind take you for a ride. Includes ultra low-stretch Dyneema flying lines, flight straps and line winder in a compact drawstring pouch.
I recently picked up the Prism Synapse 170 and couldn’t be happier with it. It launches effortlessly and handles beautifully in a wide range of wind conditions. The dual-line control is super responsive, and the included flying lines make a noticeable difference in precision. I love that there’s no setup—just unfold and fly. Highly recommended kite!
I have a Quantum that I needed parts for after my kids crashed it. I saw there were frameless kites and instantly ordered the Synapse 170 for them to fly with less chance of breaking it. Awesome choice. Pulls hard enough to have fun, but my 9 year old daughter can still fly (With a little help at time!!)
Sometimes you want a thrill. But, sometimes the middle is just right. I found the 170 to be a thoroughly enjoyable gentlemanly flyer; a kite I often fly while sitting in a beach chair, and not worry the chair is going to be pulled to Mexico!
We keep this in our car at all times. Love how compact it is when packed and how it bursts open to an impressive scale. We love flying this at the beach near us and always get people stopping to watch and complimenting the show.
I bought this kite after wandering a beach and feeling a pang to fly a kite for the first time since childhood. I have since fell in love with flying and the sheer joy of being out and about feeling the wind. I wake up and the first thing I do is look to see if the wind is rustling through the branches of the tree. A solid, easy to use, pulls well enough, and simple to pack kite.
Gorgeous. I wish I could afford more kites.
