Why did North sustain 10 years against the whole world the 5th line in Rebels if now they say that 4 line is better?
Better for their pockets...

...plus the Whip went from quad to thruster fin set-up....and no more Kontact made
One one the greatest quality of the traditional Rebel was "short depower stroke ".......about 1/3 shorter than anything out there... no bridles/pulleys
It was unique in design

Think this will kill resale for 5-line Rebels? I'm looking at a 2017 on closeout right now.

The technology and safety is far better now, so they can manage to build a kite with the same characteristics an uncomplicate things.

Quality and design wise about the same.... and not at the top either.... Something like Core way better quality, something like Ozone way better designs.
