Design Vision

Pimped to a shiny new level, the RS+ V2 is like a top-performing racing car that’s light, direct and powerful. Combining the core DNA of the RS with our innovative Dynea Tex material, the RS+ offers a premium high-performance freeride experience.

Version 2 has been refined even further with more efficient force distribution and an improved yet stable low end. The bar pressure has been reduced while maintaining direct feedback, and the turning characteristics are more harmonised throughout the wind range. The RS+ V2 has impressive predictability overall and will surpass your flying experience.

Featured uniquely in the RS+, our superior Dynea Tex fabric outperforms regular Dacron with a higher tear and tensile strength that is up to 32 times stronger. Dynea Tex is also 30% lighter than traditional Dacron and other normal materials used in inflatable kites. By weaving a complex structure of ultra-strong Dyneema fibres, Dynea Tex is the optimum balance between responsiveness, lightweight and long-term performance.

The XT Light material featured in the struts of the RS+ has been designed to reduce weight even further. It gives the right amount of stiffness for the frame structure yet will allow enough twist when needed. The increased structural rigidity supercharges the responsiveness in the kite. Less deformation and more direct and precise flying characteristics have been achieved as a result.

Infused with superior materials and technology, the RS+ will upgrade your session to VIP with exceptional advancement in freeride potential.

Key changes

New panel cuts in the canopy distribute force more efficiently
A new deeper profile allows for an easily accessible and better low end with a more stable kite position in the wind window.
A more conical LE with increased diameter in the centre and thinner tips. This relocates the twist further outwards and allows a more precise turn that exactly follows the rider's input.
The wingtip sweep has been further adjusted for a linear load input when turning. These two changes harmonize the turn characteristic throughout the wind range and contribute to the overall impressive predictability of the RS+.
The bridle geometry is adjusted to the new LE diameters and shape to reduce the bar pressure while still maintaining direct feedback.

20% lighter than traditional Dacron and other normal inflatable materials
Up to 10% overall kite/wing weight reduction
Best balance between stability and stiffness

Fast turn
Wingtip to pivot turner
Grunty turn

The RS+ reacts instantly to steering impulses to immediately turn tightly on demand. Sheer grunt power is generated throughout the turning arc to maximise any boost.

Medium to high AR
Great upwind performance
Massive windrange

The RS+ covers a massive wind range with outstanding upwind performance. Even in light wind, you can sheet-in and go or boost impressive airs.

Medium sweep
Grunty power
Long hangtime

The RS+ has maximised hangtime and yet is super versatile. Thanks to the medium swept wingtips precise bar feedback is delivered with extreme power development.
