Best-in-class second lift and speed braking make the Code NXT the current king of new school big air. Smooth, linear power delivery and incredibly forgiving landings, but it yanks hard on loops and the larger sizes are slow to turn.
Pros
- +Best second lift and speed braking of any kite
- +Smooth, linear power delivery - no spikes
- +Extremely forgiving on takeoff and landing
- +Consistent, predictable loop every time
- +Always provides lift regardless of position in window
- +Aluula construction with 3 struts
Cons
- −Yanks hard on kiteloops - intimidating at first
- −Cannot fully dump power like Evo D/Lab or Harlem Thrive
- −Larger sizes (10m+) are slow to deliver turning input
- −Requires learning 3D wind window thinking to access full potential
Best for
Intermediate to advanced riders progressing in big air and megaloops who want forgiving landings
Not for
Pure boosters wanting maximum height without looping, or riders who need instant power dump
