Hi guys, due to interesting deals, i'm beetween those 2 kites. Nexus would come in 13.5m and 10m, Lithium in 14m and 10m
What i look in a kite:
-Fun. Looking for pretty fast turning and direct feel, pop edge, hooked backroll and frontroll (and wanna learn unhooked), small waves iven if i run a tt board
-Low end/grunty, as i am 95kg and sometimes some waves so i need some extra power. Really hate when a kite have poor low end. Usually when we have 13 knox i can see peples with 12m, and is hard for me to go with a 14m (even because i use a not light wind friendly board)
Could we say these kite can be similar in some way? I read everywhere Lithium is a beginner kite, but i think is lot more that that because is a 3 strut kite and cannot be compared with usual 5 struts beginner kite (cabrina sb for example).
Pretty much both have exelent quality building, probably core is N1 on this aspect
Despite i red lot of positives review about lithium, it seems it is slower. But actually i own a 17m and it go really
good in this aspect. But never tried other sizes.
Previous kite i tried
F1 BANDIT 10 and 14 Totally loved the 10, this is what i mean when i say a fun kite. 14 is more anonymous. Both kite leaks some low ends. 14m pull too much in high end too
Slingshot Rally 10 and 12m 12m is a pig truck slow but great low end very gruny and send you to the moon. Too much bar pressure. 10m lot of fun,exelent kite
Cabrina Fx 8m and 12m Very funny but very poor low and in my opinion
Lithium 17m With large bar, fast as no big kite i've tried before. Very funny
Core Xr5 10m and 13,5m Meanwhile 13,5m at the end of the day i like it because is very grunty and lot low end, huge boosting and exelent high end also. Never liked the 10m, it pull too much and already at 24-25knox is difficult. Also, both kites cant change direction too fast, and not as direct as i like it. Both kites go super in upwind, and both are very hard to pop edge
