CrazyFly Slash 2012 Kite Review
Kite Features
The Slash is crafted by CrazyFly for the demanding rider who loves to push his skills to a new level. It is a high performance machine that provides ample power delivery and exceptional ease of use. It is perfect for competition or for new school riders that love performing awesome tricks, but can also accommodate riders that wish to progress. It packs some nice high-tech features that make it reliable and accurate.
Meet the Slash, CrazyFly’s new school performer, a kite designed to offer you power, torque and control in a wide range of conditions and a machine that can turn intermediate and advanced riders into champs. The Slash is a freestyle kite, but it packs serious wakestyle and freeride potential too. The huge boost ability and power delivery it offers is complemented by a precise control and excellent predictability.
The Slash sports a C-kite hybrid shape. A smooth steep C-shaped curve in the leading edge makes it very agile and allows it pierce upwind with ease. The lack of bridling assures a very direct and precise control. Thanks to its Delta shaped tips, the Slash is easy to depower and relaunch. The tips shape also improves its turning performance. A five line configuration assures direct control and maximum safety. It makes the kite very reactive and responsive too.
A five strut design was used to ensure that the kite is stable at high speeds or in shifting winds. The speed profile of the struts improves the kite’s aerodynamic performance, making it faster and preventing flutter. The bat trailing edge also prevents flutter and stall and makes the kite crisper in the air. Overall, the CF Slash is a faster, more-powered-turning kite with great unhooked performance, which excels in high-powered conditions.
