Anyone have any reviews to post yet?
Especially interested to hear from riders with V1s and V2s in their quiver.

here are my observations. i have mostly experiance with big sizes 12, 15,5 and 17,5:
relaunch: now reverselaunch in light winds is possible
stability and flattering: has been significanty reduced in higher winds
powerdelivery: seems a bit smoother then last year
overall: improvements are noticable not a completely new kite but for sure a refined ersion of what the solo was in the past.
especially the reverse relaucnh is a big deal for foiling in super light winds for me. i am super happy with these kites...

I reverse launch my 12m V1 in 9 knots all the time but I haven't tried to do it with the bigger sizes.
