The all new Airush Varial is the all new All-Terrain, all-puropose workhorse, of the Airush lineup. Replacing the popular Flow models of past years, the Varial has improved all elements of flying character through the new ACTive Engineering (Active Conical Tension), Crux construction and improvements to the V3 Bridle system The Varial guarantees the performance ride with the peace of mind.
Control Bar and Safety Systems
The Airush Smart Bar has some formidable upgrades from its predecessor the Cleat Bar which include push pin extensions for the first truly adjustable length bar on the market. The new push away quick-release trim loop called the BRAIN is easily engaged and also incorporates a swivel at its base which ensures that your trim line never twists. The BRAIN also houses a mini fifth line leash system that flags the kite from the front lines. The Smart Bar employs emergency flagging handles on both bar ends for added secondary safety. For those that prefer the above the bar trim system, Airush has a depower trim strap with double pull down, adjustment handles. There is also the option to convert the smart bar to below-the-bar trim system, by adding a cleat below bar. Topping this feature-packed bar, this control system also comes with three section of flying lines: 16 m, 6 m, and 3 m. This allows you to fly with 20, 25, 17 or 10 m line lengths. Great feature-packed bar and safety system that keeps Airush at the top of the field.
On the Water
The new Varial is a solid SLE design that raises the bar for Airush capability in the All-Terrain realm. With good smooth power and a solid canopy shape the Varial delivers great stability and inspires confidence in the air. Like all the top All-Terrain kites tested here, the Varial is well-balanced and has great drift capability as it stays airborn without line tension. Its well-balanced performance make this kite an ideal travel companion. The Varial has capable depower, excellent boost capability and improved overall handling from the old Flow models. Low-end power is commendable and the Varial delivers more grunt and pull than other models of the Airush lineup. Bar pressure is light and turning speed moderately fast. But with good smooth depower through gusts and controllable amounts of power generated during turns and Kite Loops, the Varial is fun for a wide range of conditions. Water relaunch is improved over last years’ Flow as the V3 bridles effectively manipulate the swept shape of the canopy and wing tips, for easy roll-over relaunch. Its performance caters to the more advanced freerider that wants one kite to perform well in every situation from freeride, waves and even some powered freestyle action
Reality Check
The above-the-bar trim straps, and the long throw line of the Varial make reaching them more difficult. Using the below-the-bar cleating option will correct this. Other kites in the Airush line have faster pivotal turning that might better suit the dedicated wave enthusiast more effectively.
Bottom Line
The Airush Varial is a top performer in the All-Terrain category that shows good improvements over the Flow models of the past and better low-end than the other kites in the lineup. It’s a good boosting, smooth powered kite that will appeal to the well traveled and experienced rider.
