The X4 is due in the UK in March, the UK’s shipment is leaving the factory about now (Jan 21) and it takes that long to get here !! The Aspect Ratio (that’s AR to Nick Grant) will be about the same as for an X3, if not slightly higher than the X3. But doing a side-by-side comparison with an X3 shows that the X4 has more width in the middle of the kite. The X4 also gas a deeper foil shape, but then becomes very “skinnyâ€/narrower as it gets to the wing tips.
The kite’s struts are slightly thinner than the X3 and they are all union struts apart from the end-strut. The attachment points are “hidden†inside the wing tip. The “buffers†on the outer skin of the kite (adjacent to the struts) are now built into the kite. All valves are exactly the same as the X3. The kite is constructed from the same material as the V4 (ie different to the X3), although it is of a different grade to the V4.
