I know the new North Evo does not come out for another month but has anyone here had the chance to ride one and share the major / minor differences between the 2014 and 2015 Evo?
According to the 2015 North Evo promo video they state the new 2015 Evo will have a higher aspect ratio AND quicker turning than the 2014 model.
I am curious to know about the boost, hang time, turning, and bar pressure of the 2015 vs the 2014.
Thanks and good kiting!

for sure the 2015 will be slightly quicker, lower bar pressure, improved low end, better top end, more stable but nimble, as any new version of any kite
I love marketing

I dunno, I think North tries to totally screw up the design once every three years (at least with the Rebel)
Then the next year seems so much better after the disaster year!
Or was 2014 already the year for evo/fuse lovers to wish they could have their old evo/fus back? That would mean 2015 is going to be awesome

I had old EVOs, I own now EVOs 2014, and I am happy with them.
Just a different animal compared to previous ones
I think I will move to Neos now

Where are you finding a 2015 Evo video? The one on North's site is for 2014, and they didn't have the Evo's at Surf Expo.

I have not seen any pic or video of the evo 2015... Had any info been released?
I fly the evo 2014 10m and owned 2012 and 2013. The 2014 was a significant improvement in my opinion. It is from far the kite I enjoyed the most since i started kiting.

You are right NorCal. I just assumed (bad mistake) the product clip video was for the 2015 model because I had looked at all of their other 2015 product clips. I totally did not pay attention. Well in that case my OP is now irrelevant.
