I own a 7,9 & 11m Rebel from 2021. I also flown the laters Evo's and i can tell you guys just like Duotone itself says, Rebel is the one with the better low ánd high end.Topaz wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 1:01 pmOk, so in the end it's guts feeling.Blackened wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 11:17 pmI owned both in various sizes in 2019 and flew both in 2020 versions. The Rebel had closer high end in 2018/2019 and was offset about the same on both ends. In 2020 they changed the material layout, which changed the characteristics slightly. Most of the Rebel power is generated towards the low end now and gets overpowering much more quickly than the previous version. The Evo obviously went pulleyless, but I didn't really feel it changed the overall performance of the kite in my use - it just felt more direct and was slightly better for looping.
I have not flown any 2021 versions, so the top end may have narrowed again this year.
Same here, I've always felt that Rebel's (as well as Switchblades) have the widest range of every kite I flew, but of course I may be wrong. Wind changes all the time. The wind meter at the port Everglades here in South Florida publishes the data every six minutes and there is always a variation of at least four or five knots, even on days when the wind feels super stable and consistent.
