Not many videos round and I've yet to see one in real life. What are they like? Are they better at sucking up gusts? Or is the bridle pointless?

I've been riding nothing but Fuels since 2001? I vowed the bridles would come off after I tried them. They are still on. They definitely increase the top end and soften the gusts. There is a little more bar pressure and more pull is needed to turn them. It is still a very familiar feeling flying them. I know exactly where there are.
My only complaint (listen up Slingshot) Make them easily removable/replaceable. Then it would be the best of both worlds
I have 2015 13 & 9 with bridles. My 7,6 and 5 are older and bridle free.
Hope this helps
