The Rally GT is back for its second year. This kite was designed to be a great go-to kite for all disciplines and conditions. Slingshot has dubbed this kite the "One-Kite-Wonder".
We have used the Rally GT V1 in our kite school because of its stability, smooth power delivery, and ease of relaunch.
The Rally GT V2 has been tweeted by Slingshot's mad scientists to provide similar reliability as the V1, but with added efficiency.
What is New?
Smaller Leading Edge
The LE has been tapered so that the kite will move quicker through the wind window. This provides more power, lighter bar pressure, and better upwind reach.
Two Different Bridle Configurations
Depending on the size of Rally GT V2, Slingshot has equipped them with different bridle configurations. Larger kites fly differently than smaller kites. So they should have a different bridle setup.
The Smaller sizes (5m, 6m, and 7m) have a 4-Point IRS Bridle. This IRS system features a bungee line on the lowest leading edge connection that creates a stable and smooth kite. Many smaller kites from other brands are twitchy and "temperamental".
The Larger sizes (8m, 9m, 10m, 12m, and 14m) have a 4-Point Pulleyed IRS Bridle. This configuration aids in the steering response and reaction time.
Kite Size vs Wind Range
5m = 25 to 36 knots
6m = 23 to 35 knots
7m = 20 to 32 knots
8m = 18 to 30 knots
9m = 16 to 28 knots
10m = 14 to 26 knots
12m = 10 to 20 knots
14m = 9 to 14 knots
Recommended Bar Sizes
(17") = 4m to 8m
(20") = 7m to 12m
(23") = 12m to 14m
Features
Surf Tough Construction
Reinforced seams and a strategic surf-grid canopy that isolates tears and reduces the chance of blowouts in the event your kite is punished in the surf.
One-Pump Speed System
This was a Slingshot first. One Pump lets you inflate and deflate your kite through a central valve.
Split Strut
This tech integrates the kite canopy and struts into one firmly interconnected piece rather than the canopy being sewn over the strut.
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.
4x4 Canopy Tech
The canopy on the Rally GT V2 is constructed with Teijin 4x4 reinforced ripstop material. This is the strongest, stiffest, and most durable canopy material on the market.

The Slingshot RPM has legendary status as one of the greatest kites ever made and it is STILL evolving. Slingshot Sports have continued this kite's progression with their new canopy material; 4x4 Canopy Tech - making in stiffer, stronger, and more durable. It has retained the 3 strut frame and wide wing tip that made it famous. The RPM V12 has been pushed forward and upward within its anytime, any condition, all performance design mantra. Returning for its 12th Version is the Flyline Bridle System, which was introduced last year. FlyLine in conjunction with the new Modified Open C shape has ushered in a new realm of performance for the RPM. This enhanced kite shape and bridle configuration accelerated the RPM’s turning speed as well as increased the lift and hangtime.
