Thanks for the replies. I see there is no current 2020 Torch in Naish's line up.... Could they phase the Torch out now :-( The Slingshot fuel used to be very popular, but hardly anyone buys a new fuel now. It is supposed to be like that. Torch is having a different phasing and they launch it in the...

Yes, exactly. With the Dash you can approach the trick with higher speed and the things are more in control (for mortals like me) because it's not that explosive. The Torch's pop & slack, explosive boosting are second to none, but it requires more skills and commitment, rewarding but sometimes with ...

Thanks Ludmil - Have you tried the Pivot ? How does the Dash compare boosting to the pivot ? No,I haven't .Pivot is not exactly my type of kite. My comparison is how it feels compared to Torch... The only thing that I don't like about Dash is that, there is no available ATB option of 50 bar. I pref...

1. Smooth, more hangtime definitely. 2. Disagree about that. The kite feels light and it's technical.Compared to the Torch constant grunt could be misleading - def. better low end.

The Naish bar is adjustable.
Maybe some of you don't know, but the cleat is designed to move in order to adjust the throw.
There's sufficient information around...
Getting to know the gear is a must I would say.

The lines were changed in 2018 as far I recall. Have they changed the lines again for 2019 bars ?

Hopefully the development in this direction will continue w/ V3, without compromising the freeride qualities. Not easy to be done isn't it...

I have 2 kites from 18/19 model and it's great in any aspect. Initially felt them kind of twitchy with tendency to overfly in low gusty conditions. After 5 sessions the kind of settled down and became awesome (like this, could mean they may not turn out to baggy shit after some time crashing them) T...

Interesting, do they differ in pop& slack dept.? Although this is more relevant to the bigger sizes.
Czezz, I just mentioned that soon new one will be released...
