Slingshot 2022 SST V6

The additional curve of the SST V6’s new wingtip, when combined with our IRS bridle technology, provides added speed, responsive handling and has completely revolutionized its upwind performance and water relaunch.

The SST V6: Our thinnest and lightest struts ever. These smaller diameter struts provide plenty of overall structure to the kite while still keeping down the weight and drag to enable next-level drift and response.

We reduced canopy paneling from 138 individual panels to 20. This reduction decreases the kite’s overall weight while also providing a more aerodynamic canopy profile.

We pushed the possibilities of the IRS bridle even further by using more premium materials. The bridle line thickness has been reduced by 25% and riders will feel less drag through the air due to this streamlining.

The SST V6 is built with Teijin 4×4 reinforced ripstop material. This is the strongest, stiffest, and most durable canopy material on the market.

Provides the ideal balance between friendly, responsive handling and smooth, sheet-and-go power delivery. A versatile shape that excels in all conditions.

For the SST V6, we wanted to open up testing beyond our professional test team to the people who use our kites the most: our customers. We conducted a study over a three-month period where our customers tested the R100 (SST V6 prototype name) and their feedback, data, and input proved invaluable as it helped confirm a statistical and significant leap in performance from the previous SST model.

Different attachment points integrated into the kite allow you to fine-tune handling, power, and performance-based on your riding style and the conditions of a particular session. Even slight changes to these settings can make an enormous impact on the kite’s overall performance, making this a useful tool for getting the most out of your kite every time you ride.
