The Slingshot RPM Kite
was built for riders looking for a kite which performances within
multiple riding styles and conditions. The RPM crosses over from
freestyle, to surf, to wakestyle or snow with ease. Top Pros and high
performance riders world wide have figured out the secret behind the
RPM, the open C platform allows for fast riding, explosive pop with the
correct amount of boost, travel and drift. This allow for aggressive
moves with fast and solid landings.
The 2014 builds on Slingshot's
proven legacy with a kite that rides faster, is more responsive, more
crisp and more dialed in than ever before. Through years of testing and
rider feedback, they have made new improvements and subtle refinements
to set a new standard for performance and durability. Now with Diamond
Leech technology that improves air flow for clean air release off the
trailing edge. This feature improves aerodynamics, and is a major part
of why the kite is faster, and has a new crisp feel. The Diamond Leech
improved the over all stability of the leach. This significantly helps
with wear and tear or flutter.
Kite comes with RPM Kite, Compstick Control Bar, Kite Backpack, Bladder Repair Kit and Quick Start Guide
