Slingshot komt met een nieuwe kite; de Machine V1. Voor de kiters onder ons die al wat langer meegaan; Slingshot had back in de days al een kite met de naam Machine; een kite in de maten 17.5 en 19 meter. De naam is dus opnieuw van stal gehaald voor een Lift, Boost en Hangtime kite.

Hij staat nog niet op de website en het is wachten op de introductie film die ergens vandaag online komt!

This all-new kite and platform is the result of over two years of development and the addition of an all new kite designer, Adi Conrad. Adi and Tony Logosz were able to collaborate on an all-new frame geometry that is proven to launch you to new heights and air times while still maintaining lightning-quick reaction speed and turning.

These two designers built the Machine V1 to enable riders of all skill levels to achieve their record heights. The Machine V1 flies upwind, has quick turning capabilities, effortless relaunch and the big-air ability to give any rider a rush.

They also focused on optimizing material sciences for a simplified approach when rounding out the Machine V1. Featuring a minimalistic and strategic paneling layout and a premium, streamlined pulleyless bridle system, the Machine V1’s weight is minimized for pure freeride performance.

Insane upward propulsion. The Machine's highly efficient aspect ratio is tuned to launch you to new heights and air times while still maintaining lightning-quick reaction speed and turning.
