Quantum85 vs Infinity76

Postby PugetSoundKiter » Tue Apr 19, 2022 2:18 am

Has anyone rode the new Slingshot Quantum85?

Wondering if would be similar to the Infinity76, for bigger guys but with more glide, and still manageable at speed.

I have not ridden the 85, although I hope to have one very soon. I do have the 100 and a few other slingshot foils including the 76. If the 85 is anything like the 100 I am going to love it. The 100 was faster with a lot less drag than the 84 and 99. When I first got the 100 it was for winging but there was not enough wind so tried it kiting. I did not expect much as I am 82 kg. and it is a big wing. It was actually fun in the light winds and glided far more than I expected. It felt very low drag.
