The Fuse has a huge wind range, light, predictable feel and great jumping qualities. Its unique and simple Attack Control Bridle gives the Fuse smooth, reactive steering that is especially evident when de-powered, making it a huge step forward in terms of manoeuvrability and directness on 4 lines. Additionally, the new AC Bridle gives you the ability to safely and completely de-power the Fuse on its back similar to a 5 line system. Easily accessible lowend power and extreme resistance to back-stalling gives the Fuse great light wind capabilities while the AC Bridle ensures direct de-power and a crisp bar feeling even in strong winds with easy push and pull power. The Fuse is built to last utilizing the newest Technoforce canopy material D2 – already since the first generation of the Fuse – that is more resistant to tearing than conventional material.

North Fuse 2011
So my impressions on the North Fuse 12m:
+you can see much more dacron and ripstop reinforcment on the kite... I do not know any brand to have soo much reinforcment as North-new ripstop D2 twice much stronger!!
+super stable in the sky
+super low-end ( i thinks i was riding once min: 12 max: 15 knots 68kg normaly powered:)
+fast accelaration ( i like freeride/race/hangtime jumps)
+huge windrange cause big jumps with hangtime, but with wide range the turning is slighty slower.
+bar feel light, but you have 2 settings: soft and medium
+pulleys are not affected by sand and salt, so this is extra plus
+easy relaunch
+going upwind fast... like is written on offical site of NKB.. it really does!!!
+also the bar works so great... best I ever had.
+graphic this year is so sick for me... last year(2010) was really boring.
+valves with deflator pin works great!
+kite tubes are so quality that, you need pump to 6 PSI and kite have solid shape... some other brands needs to be pumped up to 7-8 PSI to work properly
Overall if you are looking for forgiving kite with boosty jumps and BOW shape with wide range that North Fuse on 4 lines is for you.
