Kite fabric Icarex: the color palette for zero-wind-kites in 2023.

The minimalist approach at the development of the de tomaso series becomes manifest in reduced light construction and balanced flight characteristic.

Agreable light pull in the hand, long airtimes, a lot of time to prepare the next move, easy to control. Assembling and handling are simple.

Also, for experts in flying our single line kites, De tomaso superleggera is an agreeable experience. It answers your precise, crisp inputs with slow and floaty glides.

In short, the Dt superleggera is easy to fly for everyone and a special joy, if you are into the elegant slo-mo flying style. Your experience will be even more intensive.

The design of the kite is reduced and minimal. It's the perfect start into floating without wind. And more.


Downtown without wind, fly with a short line without Stabilizer. In some mellow wind, you can perform high flights: with or without Stabilizer, on a long flying line.

In stronger winds, the optional Stabilizer extends the wind range of the kite. Flights with the De tomaso superleggera will be calmed or stable, depending on the smoothness of the wind.

Also available as Hyperlight Edition in Dyneema Composite.


Choose the flying lines: a short Zero.5 or Zero.6 on Microwinder for urban zero wind flights. Plus the Stabilizer and a long Zero.5 or Zero.4 on reel for high flights in wind too.
