there's lots of variables and no easy answer to someone I've never seen ride.... but as a guide 25knots tops

That's a pretty good estimate. I've got a 12m V4, weigh 172Lbs (think that's 77 kg), and usually rig a size smaller above 25 knots...but nothing is absolute.

Hey Matt I'm looking into a v4 12m to replace my 11m kite. What is the bottom end of the v4 12 and what board are you using? I'm pretty close to your weight.

I ride a HanaCrew Stealth Slim (140cmX15inches). Low end for me, is around 18 knots. It has good overlap with most 16s I've ridden, so it fits my quiver pretty well.
