I'm hopefully getting the kite in a few days, and I'll get back with few words on comparison them to last years model.
And comparing them to my old 2016 RPM, and 2015 Fuel

Dash is different per se, more on/off. It's lighter, and as I'm used to the constant grunt from Torch I was initially disappointed. Than, after few sessions it just clicked, everything came together.
Dash is a very special kite for me (so far).

It's different. What do you mean by lift, low end or jumping?LorenzoS wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 11:11 pmWould you say the new dash has more lift than the Torch 2015 (I loved that kite too)?

It has better low end definitely, but feels lighter on the harness and this could be little misleading.
Jumping, didn't jump hooked in much yet, few times to check how it goes. It doesn't yank you as powerful the Torch does, but hangs forever on the other hand.
Unhooked, once dialed, Dash exceeded my expectations.
Yes, feels friendlier so to say, although I'm used with Torch which is very stable and predictable, user friendly as well, according to me.
