Slingshot 2022 RPX V1
Fueled by insights from the world’s most demanding kiteboarders in all disciplines and based on our past construction knowledge of the legendary RPM, we developed the all-new RPX.
Package Includes: RPX V1 Kite, Kite Bag, Quick Start Guide, Bladder Patch Kit
PRODUCT FEATURES
NEW REDESIGNED TRAILING EDGE
A completely redesigned edge has allowed us to eliminate areas of turbulence, drag and flutter. This has ushered in next level response out of the kite as well as better return to the top of window during kite loops and Mega loops.
NEW CLEAN CANOPY
We reduced canopy paneling from 108 individual panels to 20. This reduces the kite’s overall weight while also providing a more aerodynamic canopy profile.
NEW STREAMLINED FLYLINE BRIDLE SYSTEM
The FlyLine bridle is an invention found we used on the RPM for the past two years. During the development of the RPX, we wanted to push the possibilities of that bridle even further. By using more premium materials we were able to reduce the bridle line thickness by 25%. Riders will instantly feel less drag through the air due to this new streamlined bridle.
NEW ONE PUMP SPEED SYSTEM
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.
OPEN C CANOPY
This flatter C shaped arc offers 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.
4 X 4 CANOPY TECH
The RPX is built with Teijin 4×4 reinforced rip-stop 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.
SPLIT STRUT
A Slingshot invention 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.
MULTIPLE ATTACHMENT POINTS
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.
