Have you tried the Ozone C4?
I found the bar pressure on these kites pretty light.

Are you kidding? 2013 is most definelty not light bar pressure.
Guys he comes from a torch and some of you are recomending all rounder kite....(suppose I did say the dice).
Bottom line is, C riding affording supreme slack lines has the evenutality of reasonable bar pressure, you can't get around it.
If you want less bar pressure you need to find a more all round, soften hybrid C kite mate.
If we are in this zone, then let's add the naish park, the new 2014 seems to have a strong C feeling.

No, I'm not kidding.
I come from C4 2010 and I found the bar too light for me. Now I fly Airush Razor and Hadlow Pros, and when I tried the 2013 C4 in sizes 11 and 13 I found it much lighter on bar than my actual kites, a little bit heavier than the old C4 and the feedback it seemed to me reasonable too.
Ciao

Fair enough. But if he has a condition would not recommend the C4 now.

To be fair I'm looking at an all rounder I suppose, I don't fly as much as I used to so my fitness isn't what it used to be plus as I'm getting old my days of trying new tricks and although I like my Torches I'd like something a bit easier to fly and with more range - I'd like to stay with the c feel , I've always liked the looks of the C4 so will try and get a demo, bar pressure must surely be less than my Torches?

C4 is no longer an all rounder guys. Those days are gone although there is talk of putting some more Freeride back in.
You want an all rounder then it is the park, dice , rpm , etc etc.
That will give you enough C to do your stuff with lighter bar pressure. The dice for instance has a much lighter bar pressure than the new C4. All the crew have commented on the increase. Demo and see I suppose.

Rumors are C4 2014 is launched november 1st and it is supposed to have more freestyle than 2013. Let see how it goes.
How about Catalyst from ozone? Marketed as true all rounder.

Hadlow pro 2014 has a reasonable bar pressure, i dont find it strong, but i admit i hate soft bar pressure, its a good option i think, and superb performance

The Vegas is very light for a C kite. The Fuel on the other hand is very heavy and I am glad to see the back of mine.
Try a modern Vegas, they are very light on the bar.

I am looking at the Vegas but they are a bit boring in that everyone has one these days and I get the feeling that although they are good kites they aren't very inspiring, especially coming from Torches. If I go with a SLE them what I lose in bar feel I'll gain in boost/range.
Do you know if anyone has the 2014 Vegas yet Tone? I know Dave usually has them early
