That's a 2020 Reach 15m. Sold it this winter before I got a chance to try it.
The 2021 one should be a tad lighter.

No chance a 15m LEI can weigh 7 kg, unless it's maybe a 7 strutter with dacron canopy :lol:

North Reach 15 7 kilos. That’s funny. It is around 3.X kilos
Yes, this seems mad doesn’t it. North have confirmed twice over email support that the weight is 6.5kg. They also confirmed that this weight is kite only with no bag. Really strange.

I’ve asked them to comment on how it’s so different to the Evo weight. Doubt they will reply to that, but will post here if they do.
Believe me, it is not 7 kilos :))) It is 3.X

North replied again saying that the kite is 4.1kg. Seems like they’re not very sure themselves, perhaps they just have bad support!
