Shop review of the Nemesis NXG:
Quickly into our first test ride on the all new Nemesis NXG, we realized the kite is destined to be one of our favorite performance oreinted kites! The new C-kite shape does all the things you would expect, like rip you off the water and deliver grunt throught a loop. Stearing feedback, timing and loading, everything about it felt great. The kite also has a gentle and safe side (SLE) so intermediates can progress safely on the NXG.
Best Product Information
The all new Nemesis NXG sets the bar for performance riding, providing the unbeatable balance of C-kite responsiveness and SLE performance. Demanding riders will find it the perfect choice for aggressive Big-air and high
powered Freestyle riding.
Combining a Cuben equipped LE with Twister Techtm and a radical new wingtip layout delivers faster, more powerful turn initiation with reduced bar pressure, maximizing handling responsiveness in any wind conditions. Our reduced
diameter Cuben Equipped LE reduces drag and improves LE stiffness; allowing you to ride the Nemesis NXG harder and faster upwind and still delivers more than enough lift to satisfy any Big-air freak.
A deeper, more powerful central canopy profile delivers incredible low wind ability while the VP3 bridle completely eliminates backstall, even when riding unhooked, ensuring that the NXG remains ultra stable across its entire wind
range. Add in Canopy Framing, a 3D Kevlar airframe and Best's legendary Surf Tough construction and you have the number one kite choice for all performance focused riders, in any wind, on any wave.
Nemesis NXG, what does NXG mean?
A. It stands for Next Generation; you know how Star Trek the Next Generation was better than the original series,
well.....
It's a Nemesis, fast turning, high jumping, powered looping, insane Big-air and hangtime kite for aggressive riders, just like it ever was, the only difference in performance is that we traded a tiny bit of upwind ability and hangtime for much better handling and stability when unhooked. To improve the kite this way we had to radically alter the shape - and that's why it has a new name to go with its new look. It's still thoroughbred Nemesis HP under the skin, we've just
added in extra Freestyle potential to go with its big-air and insane kiteloop capability.
Q. What has changed on the Nemesis NXG?
A. The Nemesis NXG is the most changed kite in the Best line-up
VP3 bridle: The bridle geometry and pulley system has been completely reworked to accommodate the more
dropped shape of the wingtips, this further enhances stability at all wind speeds.
Canopy profile/ plan-shape: Dropping the wingtips and extending the centre chord has created a more powerful canopy shape that increases the 'snap' the kite delivers when you jump. The NXG has been shaped to provide more responsive handling for Freestyle riding and when going unhooked for Freestyle or Wave riding back- stall has been almost completely eliminated.
Flat Pack seam: We've folded the LE barrel seams flat and internalized them; this stiffens the LE and makes it more durable to abrasion. The new barrel seams also help to maximize the effect of Twister Tech, so the NXG is even more responsive than last year's Nemesis
External EZ-Pump: The NXG now available with our new external EZ-Pump system. If you value convenience and fast set-up and pack down then this is the best inflation system we've ever made. All parts are completely user serviceable and changing bladders is as quick and easy as any other system on the market.
ABC Auto-tune: The NXG retains the three back line pigtails settings from last year that allow you to tune the turning rate and depower feel of your kite to suit your preference. This year each of the pigtails has been pre-trimmed
to compensate for changes in the back line V length as you swap between settings, so there's now no need to adjust your rear line trim when you adjust the handling settings of your kite.
