I tried the new enduro last week quite nice. I'm not sure what that continous curve does I suspect it reduces drag.
Edt, does the v4 produce good power for twintip riding on par with say a Reach or Eleveight RS or other all-rounders? Thanks

edt WoW you already tried?! what size? other impressions or comparisons with other kites?

yes the continuous curve leading edge (coupled with the traverse sail shaping) reduce drag and should help to generate more apparent wind moving the kite and permitting a better low end, so wider wind range

Didn't try it long enough sorry. I was at mackite trying out at least a dozen kites last week and didn't spend enough time on it. I just tried to concentrate on the new light weight kites this year. Too many kites not enough time. It seemed ok but I just hopped on for a minute or two not long enough to get a good feel.

My favorite kite this year was that rs+ I spent the most time with that kite

from what they report here, the RS+ is heavier than the Enduro V3 and V4 should be slightly better...

anyway what your feelings about the RS+?

Enduro V4 is out, I will get my 9m tomorrow ;) From the web page I see main differences being the (continuous)leading edge and thinner bridle. Let's see if any difference when flying it. What is strange for me is that V4 is slightly heavier than V3, hmm?

Wondering if all this improved the wind range, which is the weakness of that series.

same weight increase from AlphaV1 to V2, I think the continuous curve leading edge increase slightly the materials

Please let us know your impressions and difference from the previous V3!
