I have a Ride Engine Elite harness with the unity spreader and extra neoprene pad thingy.
Holding up great after about 3 years. No issues at all and the best adjustment / attachment system I’ve used.
For anyone still interested I’m really warming to these kites with more use, and am really getting on well with 22m lines. Seems to me the perfect blend of slightly more direct handling and easier control of power, and no compromise on lift and float that I can tell - I’m still beating my height rec...
Ok - makes sense. I have to say fully auto untwisting is a great feature and the reason I use the Reedin Dreamstick X. Did try the Click Bar but find the centre PU cover sticks too much during turning meaning the bar position gets stuck - this doesn’t seem to be an issue with the Dreamstick X for so...
I can’t see any indication that untwisting on the new Trust bar is any different from the old one, looks like it still needs to be done manually. They’ve just updated the bearings a bit. I’d be surprised if they untwist automatically?
Insofar as I can tell, low end grunt is definitely not a problem for them! I’m lighter than you so can’t comment on the wind range you asked for but I’m general comparison I’d say they’ve the best low end power I’ve experienced other than with a dedicated light wind kite.
I haven’t compared hence the question, but I find the 13m Juice to be an excellent light wind kite, stays in the air in the lightest of winds and with a light wind board I can have fun from 10 knots or just under. It’s very manoeuvrable and I can jump / do back and front rolls almost as soon as it’s...
I’m definitely going high so would agree with that bit. I think the downwind pull actually helps with jumping as you’ve always got something to edge against when sending the kite, so for jumping it’s great. Compared to Bandit 12 much more float and downwind distance though as well. From other user r...
Kite are new. I had thought about trying them on 22m lines to be honest so that’s a useful suggestion. Definitely feel more powerful than equivalent F-one Bandit.
