Hier nog ff een klein testverslag gevonden van de 10m2 (zie kiteforum)
Some of my thoughts regarding the RPM and its likeness with regards to the FUEL.

The Rpm 10m would be the closest to compare with the 9m Fuel. The 10m is a sweet size. I was out during ventana and I really had a good time for someone that really still likes his fuels... The nice thing about the Rpm, is that they pretty much have all the quality's, performance and looping ability's of the Fuel but with better range, shut off, relaunch and is very user friendly. Also with the 3 strut frame this baby packs down super tight, which is killer for those winter trips...

Quiver break downs will probably be
10-12;8-12;10-14;6-10;8-10-12;6-10-14;6-8-12

The 6-10 combo would be a sick 2 kite kit.

Show how the hell did it feel?

Very similar to the Fuel but with the option "at the kite" to free up the bar pressure for Rev like wipness and control or increase it for more pure power and smoother turning speed for wake unhook.

Since the shape of the kite is tagged "open-C" it really preforms like a C. The kite sits back just a bit in the window but as you edge against the kite it surges forward just like your trusty Fuel. So even when unhooked' the kite still doesn't blow you off your edge or back stall.

With its large wing tips the kites looping ability is as good as you need it if not better then you want it... Tons of lift and forward movement. Power throughout the radius of the loop.

This will be a great kite for those that would like the Fuel but have demoed one but got their ass kicked and it was just to much but still vibe'd the feel or someone that really whats something sick. This is the kite your ride with your "board" more and less with sheeting in and out at the bar; like most typical SLE'S, Delta's or Bow's. For those that are used to riding with your bar this is not the kite for you.

The bar is basically the same as the Rev bar but called the DD2 "direct drive II" bar. There are a few upgrades, so that sick...

*The center hole on the bar now has a plastic top cap which will allow less friction with the CL rope and should very well extend your lifespan by a good amount. It has seen 2 weeks of baja sand and the rope still looks good.

Always clean your bar after you ride with fresh water or beer just get the salt off!

Bag is all black. Comes with Tall pump.

Hope this helps. We will have them out for the MT Rodeo second week in Feb so that would be the next best time to check one out. These will be sick SK kites.
