The Rebel is the all-time classic freeride kite, legendary performance, big air superiority and a stunning hang time. Last year the Rebel had a significant overhaul that saw the design built around a 4 line set up. The kite was a huge success and this year Ken Winner has been working hard to make the best even better! Updates on the 2019 model include a smaller, reduced diameter leading edge and a flatter centre shape profile. The goal was to improve the handling and boosting capabilities of the kite. The thinner leading edge makes the new Rebel more efficient, but also allows it to twist, increasing the turning speed and making the handling very dynamic.
The FSeries is a high-performance kite addressed to advanced riders that seek the thrill of radical freestyle tricks and staggering big airs. The four line Open-C design is paired with a high aspect ratio, low sweep, and short bridles. Loaded up, it generates a massive pop followed by plenty of line slack and travel. Hooked-in, riders will experience an explosive lift. By shifting the turning axis towards the wingtips we achieved the perfect balance between turning speed and power development. The FS’ piloting is swift and direct but unleashes raw energy in loops. Even with the focus on performance and radical maneuvers, the FS does not lack in riding comfort. On the contrary, the kite covers a huge wind range, easily rides upwind and cushions gusts.
