I have been flying the Vulture kite for the last three months and I have to say that my experience as a development rider is great, in all areas and I really enjoy those kites. They doing a really good job.
I fully agree with previous reviewers about kite performance.
The kites come with many different settings on the bridle, which really change the kites' fly characteristic and can be easily changed in a second. The wind range of the kite is very good, 12kts and I’m able to pull some nice tricks on 12m. On the other hand, I was riding the 9m on 40kts+ and I felt super secure, the Vulture just eats any gust. The stability is insane at any condition, which gives me a lot of confidence and speeds up the progress.
During the jump, the kite gives a feel that I am flying the wing with very efficient aerodynamics. It delivers a massive boost (it can take you to the moon); floaty, smooth jump and middle hangtime, which could be extend massively with heli loops.
If the kite is treated aggressively, will reward with really punchy feel with very rapid power delivery which I really like it. Since beginning I found that the mega loop can be very powerful, but has constant power, (not many kites have this)absolutely love it. Sometimes, the sessions on the Vulture become emotional when I push the limits and achieve personal bests. So far, all sessions have finished with smile on my face. This is definitely freeriding weapon with unique aerodynamics and massive mega loop ability. The kite is stable but fast and responsive.
It also should be good for beginners as its re-launch almost automatically even on small wind.
The kite is awesome and is better in many areas then most of the kites on the market. Well done Vantage
