NEW SEGMENTED SWEPT WINGTIPS

New for 2020 Slingshot designers engineered a new wingtip design using variable diameter segments. These segments combine to create a uniform and structured design with a cleaner more efficient swept wingtip shape. This design aids in the kite’s structural stability, response time, as well as water relaunch.

Pullyless Bridle

Pullyless BridleNo Pulleys No Problem. The Raptor is engineered around a direct connect pulley-less bridle. This gives the Raptor unmatched bar feel and input while still providing maximum wind range, turning speed, ease of relaunch and unrivaled upwind performance.

Split Strut

A Slingshot innovation that has been borrowed industry wide, Split Strut integrates the kite canopy and struts into one firmly interconnected piece rather than the canopy being sewn over the strut like lesser designs. Split Strut creates a stronger, more stable and more durable canopy, enhances power under heavy load and creates efficiency and rigidity in the overall frame.

BOMBER SLINGSHOT CONSTRUCTION

ONE PUMP SPEED SYSTEM

A patented Slingshot innovation now used industry-wide, One Pump lets you inflate and deflate your kite through a central valve. If you ever had an older kite with separate strut valves, you’ll know how much of a hassle it was.

MULTIPLE ATTACHMENT POINTS

Different attachment points integrated into the kite allow you to fine-tune handling, power, and performance. Even small changes to these settings can make a big impact on the kite’s overall performance. An important tool for getting the most out of your kite every time you ride.
