Can somebody tell me what the windrange is for the V4 8 m²?
My smallest kite is a fuel 11 '03 and I can have a V4 for a nice price...
Thank you

the 10m² have a range @ 17-30 knots according to this review

I assume that it depends on your weight a bit. But usually theese are calculated on a normal rider at 75kg. But i'd say 19-35 knots if your weight is around 75kg.

WAIT!!!!
I am 70 kgs. riding sizes 18, 12 and 8m2.
Have got in the beginning the V4-8 and felt it has a low end that overlaps with the 12 and really no high end. I was really pissed.
Have changed from V4-8 to Boxer 8 and just got a much better complementary wind range that starts after I feel that the 12 is big and very high end that you don't feel you will need a 6.
My Boxer was working with winds from 20 knots up to 30 knots. Very easy ride.
Regards,
MO
