According to The Kite mag Triad is the best kite in all-around freeride category (compared not only within Naish line) :) https://www.thekitemag.com/the-ultimate-test-guide/?utm_source=drip&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ultimate_test Yeah, excuse me for taking their opinion with a a slight grain of...

Thanks for your input! There just is very little "neutral" info on the Triad. The big magazines / sites seem to praise any kite they review. There is a German video review that was not all good: lag, not enough feedback on the bar, need big arms for depower, no great jumping. They said the Naish Bo...

So I have been kiting 6 months now after an ACL reconstruction. No major incidents but my BracePimp Custom brace is toast. It looks like it has been throw the wars, all the straps are worn out, hinges are rusting, paint is chipped, and all of the clasps are held together with tape & zip ties. Curre...

I bought a 9/11/14m Dash combo (2017) and a 2020 Naish ATB bar. I have been a long term Naish Torch rider (still have the Torch's). I find the Dash has Really really poor low end, worse than the same size Torch IMO. I have been riding the 14m Dash for a while now (87kg, 134cm Shinn Monk) and it nee...

Klaus, just checking something:
What is the usual wind strength you refer as light wind conditions?

Haven't ridden Pivot but regarding you question about Dash, it's second to none in terms of upwind ability.
However, I think that there is something wrong with your settings, knowing Naish kites in general.

Where is new bar? bla-bla about 2021 kites but nothing about bar since 2019. It looks like they lost ways to improve it. Change in color or LE version is much easier way to say that new kite is the best I heard the bar is changed this year, but not what they changed. It seems to me they are doing a...

I recieved my new pivot 12m LE yesterday. I noticed Naish now recommends 6 t0 8 PSI....I wonder if they were having warranty issues with the 11psi from the past few years... I am still going to pump mine up to at least 9 psi....I do believe you notice the diffence in flight quality.. Interesting, i...

I would agree that maybe there's room of improvement design wise. However, Naish were quite ahead of time with the story telling (which became more popular in the recent years) launching the first Monarch back in ... I don't remember I also checked the designs of the rest from the bruskites link jus...
