I think the new graphics on 2018 Rally look great. Wondering what others think.
I know it doesn't really matter but it actually does.

Re: Slingshot 2018 Release line-up!?
That video is pretty funny. I remember when people used to complain about one pump. Funniest thing... people would argue against the convenience of single point inflation/deflation because they wanted to set their struts to different pressures than the LE. 
These days, not only is one pump not enough, people want the least strokes possible to inflate the kite! (i.e. WFMG pumps and the similar designs most manufacturers now carry)
Ahhhh, kiters... we're a fickle bunch.
On the graphics, I guess change is good. I always liked the traditional stripes, but didn't like the randomness of color selection. The pics stevenbos posted look nice.

No new foils or ram air released yet. How about a hard shell harness??

No news yet on the 2018 Ride Engine hardshell harnesses. RE is the harness, wetsuit, and travel gear brand (devision) under 7 Nation who owns Slingshot.
