2021 Kites

Rally GT V2
Progress / Control / Relaunch

The Rally GT V2 is designed to be a true all-riders, all-conditions, one-kite-wonder that is unrivalled in terms of versatility and friendly performance.

To improve the Rally GT V2’s turning speed, we tapered the diameter of the leading edge to be smaller and more efficient, which allows the kite to move quicker through the wind window, as well as providing upwind reach. This more effective leading-edge also adds more power per size and lighter bar pressure, especially in the larger sizes of the kite.

The Rally GT V2 also features two different bridle configurations depending on the size of your kite. This diversity was made to allow for better range and even more stellar relaunch than the inaugural version.

4-Point IRS Bridle

The 5m, 6m, and 7m Rally GT v2 feature our 4-point IRS bridle system. This IRS system features a bungee line on the lowest leading edge connection that provides superior stability as well as immediate and smooth kite feedback. This bridle configuration maintains that legendary Slingshot bar feels yet delivers hero level turning speed without any delay in handling and response.

4-Point Pulleyed IRS Bridle

On the 8m, 9m, 10m, 12m, and 14m sizes, we have engineered an all-new bridle configuration to aid in steering response and speed. By reconfiguring the IRS bridle system with a new frictionless pulley, we have made great advancements in the kite’s reaction time as well as the kite’s response at the edge of the wind window. This equates to greater light wind performance, water relaunch, as well as a larger wind range and upwind ability.
