Description<\/h2>\n
Exceptional Response &\u202fReturn<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

A completely redesigned Trailing-Edge shape has been implemented on the RPX. Reshaping the trailing edge has allowed us to eliminate areas of turbulence, drag, and flutter. This has ushered in next-level response out of the\u202fkite,\u202fmeaning a better return to the top of the window during looping, tighter turning radius\u2019 for surfing, and lighting fast reaction speed.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Clean\u202f<\/span><\/strong>By<\/span><\/strong>\u202fDesign<\/span><\/strong>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The RPX is loaded with\u202finnovative technology\u202fthat includes a new streamlined premium\u202f<\/span>FlyLine<\/span>\u202fBridle System. This new system boasts a diameter of a mere 1.6mm which is a 25% reduction\u202ffrom\u202fthe\u202fprevious\u202fversion.\u202fIt\u2019s\u202fstronger, lighter, and allows the kite to move through the air with less\u202fdrag. The\u202fcanopy of the RPX had been designed to meet the needs of the modern kiteboarder. This new and highly refined canopy profile features a reduction of 88 panels\u202ffrom\u202fits\u202fpredecessor:\u202f the RPM. The result is a one-two punch of weight reduction and cleaner airflow.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Open\u202fPossibilities<\/span><\/strong>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The RPX has been built upon a longstanding Slingshot Invention, the \u201cOpen C Canopy.\u201d Often overlooked and misunderstood, the \u201cOpen C Canopy\u201d is the magic of the RPX and its predecessor the RPM. This flatter arc offers an extensive range, depower, and upwind ability while also\u202fproviding\u202faccurate\u202fhandling and energetic response. This harmonious blend of performance and comfort enables you to progress and perform no matter who you are. The RPX is the culmination of our incredible journey with a wide array of athletes, designers, and inventors to create the next evolution of versatility in a kite.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WHY WE MADE IT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We built the RPX to create the next evolution in freeride kite design. Why do freeride<\/span>\u00a0kites need to lack versatility and performance? They don\u2019t. The RPX was built to bridge that gap and\u00a0<\/span>create the highest performing and most versatile freeride kite on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WHY YOU\u2019LL LOVE THE RPX V1\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The RPX is one of the best\u202fall-around\u202fkites on the market today. It delivers hero-level performance in every category of kiteboarding.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Faster, Lighter, and more technically advanced than its predecessor; The RPX is the next evolution of a freeride\u202fkite.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The RPX boasts top-of-the-line performance and Handling as well as extensive range, depower, and upwind ability. The RPX is designed to take you to your next kiteboarding milestone, no matter what that is.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RPX V1 FEATURES<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0NEW Redesigned Trailing Edge<\/strong>:\u00a0A completely redesigned edge has allowed us to\u202feliminate\u202fareas of turbulence, drag, and\u202fflutter. This has ushered in next-level response out of the kite as well as better return to the top of the window during kite loops and\u202f<\/span><\/span>Megaloops<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"RPXV1\"<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0NEW Clean Canopy<\/strong>:\u00a0We reduced canopy\u202fpaneling\u202ffrom 108 individual panels to 20. This reduces the kite’s overall weight while also\u202fproviding\u202fa more aerodynamic canopy profile.<\/p>\n

\"RPXV1\"<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0NEW Streamlined Flyline Bridle System<\/strong>:\u00a0The\u202f<\/span><\/span>FlyLine<\/span><\/span>\u202fbridle\u202fis an invention found we used on the RPM for the past two years. During the development\u202fof the RPX, we wanted to push the possibilities of that\u202fbridle\u202feven further. By using more premium materials we were able to reduce the\u202fbridle\u202fline thickness by 25%. Riders will instantly feel less drag through the air due to this new streamlined\u202fbridle.\u202f<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"RPXV1\"<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0NEW One Pump Speed System<\/strong>: The patented Slingshot invention now used industry-wide has gotten an upgrade. We have increased our One Pump tube diameters for cleaner airflow for easier inflation as well as repositioned the tubes to be more streamlined and durable.<\/p>\n

\"RPXV1\"<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Open C Canopy<\/strong>: This flatter C-shaped arc offers an extensive range, depower, and upwind ability while also providing accurate handling and energetic response. This harmonious blend of performance and comfort enables you to progress and perform no matter who you are.<\/p>\n

\"RPXV1\"<\/p>\n

6.\u00a04×4 Canopy Tech<\/strong>: The RPX is built 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 a gusty wind.<\/p>\n

\"RPXV1\"<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0SplitStrut<\/strong>: A Slingshot invention that has been borrowed industry-wide, SplitStrut 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 heavy load, and creates efficiency and rigidity in the overall frame.<\/p>\n

\"RPXV1\"<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Multiple Attachment Points:<\/strong>\u00a0Different attachment points integrated into the kite allow you to fine-tune handling, power, and\u202fperformance-based on your riding style and the conditions of a particular session. Even\u202fslight changes\u202fto these settings can make\u202fan enormous impact\u202fon the kite\u2019s overall performance, making this\u202fa useful tool\u202ffor getting the most out of your kite every time you ride.<\/p>\n
