North Reach 2022 reviews

Postby gigi_sacrifici » Mon Mar 14, 2022 3:39 pm

guys,

any reviews on the reach 2022 ?
Strangely, North did not create an official video for this new 2022 update ... it's like they try to fly it under the radar ..

Ozone-style :lol:

I guess it tells you everything you need to know about supply and demand - when two of the bigger brands hardly even tell the world that something is coming. With Ozone you can't even know when you will get your kite.

no doubt, this kite has been elusive though has it even hit the north american market yet?

I don't think it has hit shops yet. I got my hands on the 12m last week in some lighter wind. It is pretty much the same Reach as it has been. I did a few unhooked tricks even though I hardly do them anymore. It's just as fast and predictable as it has been known to be. The changes are just refinements.

The rep said they should be out next week for north America. I have my fingers crossed since I have a 10 and 12 on order.

Online launch is Tuesday March 15th.
The hope is to have some sizes/colours to some dealers in USA for end of March with remaining sizes/colours early/mid April.
I haven't personally ridden the new 2022 but you can expect to start seeing reviews starting tomorrow.

it is the same for all the brands. I ordered two new kites lat month, they should be in stock by now, original launch was in sept 2021, but the reseller doesn't know yet when they will be delivered.

I don't think it's fair to say all brands are running 6 months late.

In this case planned launch date for Reach is always March. North is maybe 4 weeks late with delivery in USA.
