Nobile Says:

The T-5 was designed to keep a smile on a rider’s face with fast, truly user friendly and responsive performance with auto-relaunch capabilities. This year’s reshaped construction makes the kite more predictable, with a more direct feeling for better performance as a freeride oriented kite. The T-5’s huge wind range and stability in the air makes this kite one of the most attractive on the market with less drag and superb upwind performance. With increases in durability and a new larger inflation valve the T-5 has all the features you want in a kite that will jump higher, ride safer and have lots of fun in any conditions you choose!

Our Testers Say:

“First time flying a Nobile, great steady ride with tons of power, very good boost/hangtime with a simple and straightforward bar design,” Pat O’Connor.

“Whooaaa . . . great stable and easy to fly with excellent boost. Overall a super fun kite . . . this could be my next kite,” Davey Beard.

“One of the most C-shaped kites in our test and performed as such with big lofty airs, powered turns, responsive steering although not the fastest through the window, but a quick turning kite nonetheless,” Dray Murray.

Testers commented on the T-5’s solid low-end power, solid turning speed and excellent boosting and hang time performance. Testers recommended the T-5 for riders looking to boost big air with a fun and easy to use kite.

NOBILE-T5-BAR-2015-GEAR-REVIEW-04

The T-5 comes with the Nobile Trust Control Bar which is a fixed length bar (46 and 52cm) with the 46cm bar getting 20m length lines and the 52cm getting 23m lines. Nobile’s bar features a single center-line depower safety, a plastic coated sheeting/throw line that integrates a sliding stopper and above the bar tuning with a Clam cleat with integrated bungee to keep excess tuning slack from tangling while riding. This bar uses a plastic push away quick release with travel guard, a below the bar hand swivel, and integrated soft bar ends. Testers gave this bar positive marks for its features and comfort.
