Quiver : -- R2 20 - R4 14 - AMP 7.1 --

[The_Rookie]

Hello guys , i need your opinion on this 3-kite quiver :

Rhino 2 20m
Rhino 04 14m (SS Fuel 15 2004 ?)
AMP 7.1


I already have R2 and the AMP, just need the third kite and i thought to R4 14, or Fuel 15 2004... What you think is better ? Any other suggestion ?
I'm 90kg, medium/advanced kiter, riding Jaime Pro 128x37.5...

My friends ride the new slingshots and they are solid. Great kites

My other friends also ride the Norths. Also a great kite.

If you can try both that would probably be the best answer. I personally would go with the North, but I really do like the one pump from slingshot.
You really can't go wrong with either kite, though.


Off topic - how do you like your amp? what size bar do you use with it? What's the wind range at 90 kg?

never rode it man, just bought for a ridiculous price !

good setup, don't know about the AMP, never tried it.
But R2 20 with R4 14 I think is one of the top setups for 2004.

I have R2 10/14/18 and think even R2 18 and R4 14 is too big a gap.
I would go for a r4 16 or the ss15. I have tried both of these kites but only for about 1/2 an hour. However I tried the r414 for about 12hours in different conditions and was hoping to swap it for the r2 14. Not a good option IMHO. I am 92kg on 130 wavetray and 152 wavetray type custom.
Hope this helps. Still looking for a new quiver.

I had no problems with last year R2 20 + 14.
Noweven a setup of R2 20 and R4 12 would do.
I know a guy who only had R2 20 and 10....

R2 20 and R4 16 is also good, but then you need a 4 kite setup.
20-14-10/9 is a very good 3 kite setup.

what's R4 14 range for my weight ?

[kitesurfrabbi]

R2 20 grunty kite
r4 14 deffinately not a powerhorse (way less grunt and lift than my 12.5 LF tension)
amp 7.1 also on the grunty side

So I'd go for bigger r4 or a kite with more punch in that size.
Otherwise the gap between the 20 and the 14 is too big.

just my 2 cents.

20 and 14 is a a good combo, of course 20-16 is perfect but then 16 -9.5 is very wide gap. The R4 14 is a very balanced kite, it works well at the lower end too, 14 kTs is enough for having fun. The Fuel is a nice kite to but is a different concept than the other two kite you already have.

I'm your weight as well.
I can fly it from about 14/15 knts to gusts up to 30 knts.

But I'm experienced and my board has an excellent edge to hold the power of the kite!!!
