Core Nexus vs Evo vs Dice

Postby flipper231 » Sat Mar 16, 2019 5:35 pm

Current Dice rider, going towards Evos because I want more float to try to pass hand plants and a few other hooked in tricks. I am a bit heavy, 184 90kg. Curious if the Nexus would give me that extra float. I also like to play in the waves with my TT, the Duotone Evo is fine in that department but I think the Nexus is more playful than the Evo.

Not interested by XRs or Rebels, looking for a Dice with more float... :thumb:

Well I sold them, they were 13m 2016 and 10m 2017. I tried the 9m 2018 but found it very different, I found it very very light, did not feel grungy at all... Not sure if I liked it.

I think you might like the 2019 dice, they improved the boosting. I was watching Lasse Walker and another Duotone rider in cape town, Lasse on the 9m Dice and the other guy on a 10m Evo. It didn't look like the Evo was doing much better in hangtime, but they were both doing kiteloops. It probably comes down to what you prefer of those 3 models you mentioned. I am a bit in the same situation as you, since I am looking to add 2 kites to my quiver, everyone tells me the Evo is awesome but a bit boring.
If you don't need a kite that drifts ... did you consider going for 9/10 Dice and 12/13 Rebel? Saw some guys in cape town with a 9 GTS and 10 XR5. Happy decision making haha! :thumb:

All the models where in the recent test here, hangtime on the Nexus wasn't too good in the score: https://issuu.com/thekitemag/docs/tkm_u ... omplete_20
