Hi guys, I'm about to get a Dyno 15m 2015 to use in light winds for freeride (directionals) and for some tt boosting. Going for a 5 line bar 2015 and wondering whether to go for 24 or 27m length? Also have a set of 5m extensions (possibly to add to the 24m lines).
Cheers

I'd go for 24m if your extensions are compatible with the bar.
27m otherwise.
Or you could go 27m + 5m extensions to get a 32m bar and really cream it with a slow and powerful kite in light winds.

Went for 27m, I'll try the 5m extensions too.. I'm so intrigued by the new bridle system, and if it's true that it feels like a foil in the air, bingo!!!

New bridle system? The Dyno was discontinued after 2015...

From 2015 the Dyno has a whole new bridle system, attached to the struts as opposed to the LE.. that was 2015 and 2016 LTD. It's only been discontinued this year, I think it's a real shame.
In many opinions the Dyno was the most refined high performance race/fast/upwind/low wind/top hangtime inflatable kite ever made, there are no substitutes for it in the current North line up.
The Juice is a big NEO, no doubt a top wave kite, but we're not talking high performance lightwind refined machine. The Mono again, another big low performance wave / downwind orientated kite and then the new Ace (which is a foil).

Interesting, learn new things every day.
Any pictures of the bridle system?
Does it attach to the struts close to the leading edge or further back?
