On the basis of that scale the 10 and 12 don't overlap enough to cause concern whereas the 10,9 and 8 do.

Time for a back-to-back test between the 10 and 12.

I don't agree with the black-and-white, I agree with the sentiment. Highly visible colours with few graphics might also save money on marketing.

But what is more important is that the size jumps between a specific model should be proportional. And that the cut/design of the canopy of each size fits in-between the one below and the one above to give an incremental decrease or increase in performance. Some clever designers change the shape an...

I was worried about the velcro but it works and though I have never heard of anyone having a problem with the pin and tube type like on the Slingshot bar it appears there have been (or has been) hand accidents. After testing and being satisfied the chicken-loop opens smoothly the only reservation an...

I have Maroon/Gold, Red/Grey and Blue/Grey, I haven't a clue why I thought I have a green kite. I'll take photo's of the Maroon/Gold, you already have the Red/Grey earlier in the thread.

I have three kites in three different Chrono colors, none of my kite-colors correspond to the colors in that graphic. If I get the opportunity to lay the kite flat in some decent light I'll take a photo and post it but at the moment it's difficult because I don't have a helper and the wind is very s...

Is that green and maroon ? I have one, it's very earthy. I must say I prefer bright color kites, unfortunately the Chrono colors are not bright though the graphics work very-well with the color combinations. I'm not going to be able to pump the kite up for a photo until the weekend, maybe Friday. Ca...

yes, I thought all the kites 12, 10 and 8 were all very powerful for their size, regarding low-end, the Chrono produces masses of power when it's traveling at speed. You need to be an active kite-flyer to enjoy the Chrono, it's not a kite for someone who wants to be dragged around.

I just love this kite - my new light wind kite in 12m2, for freestyle and race :thumb: Huge power and apparent wind increases the grunt even further - amazing ! So easy to fly, and very predictable - good feedback - so landings are a joy with this kite - so much easier, besides the fact you get imm...

A couple more photo's for you, I did some emergency-release tests because I never carry a camera with me when I'm riding. The actual tests in the water have given me great confidence at a time I started falling off my board regularly again. (Strapless riding) The Chrono always lands like this if the...
