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. With a balanced presentation of direct handling, sheet and go power delivery, and bar pressure this incredible kite control will make achieving your next kiteboarding milestone easier and more fun than ever before.
