Product Features
NEW 4×4 Canopy Tech
New for 2020, Slingshot have upgraded their canopy construction with Teijin 4×4 reinforced ripstop material. This is the strongest, stiffest and most durable canopy material on the market. Your kite will last longer, have a higher resale value and feel more solid and stable in the air, especially in gusty wind.
NEW Open C Canopy
Slingshot decreased the open-C arc of the RPM in favour of a fuller and deeper C. This is a significant change to the new RPM. When flying you will notice an improvement in overall power, structural stability, hangtime, and control in the air. Bigger jumps and hangtime
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.
LOAD SHIFT
The new configuration of the FlyLine bridle and location of the pulley and bungee segments give RPM a dynamic steering behaviour. Where other kites would warp or twist under load, buckle at the wingtips.The RPM shifts and distributes load actively throughout the canopy, resulting in a smoother, cleaner, more powerful performance
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.
