No offence but our posts get deleted randomly, so we are letting go of Kiteforum.com
We have no bias
no sponsors
no money funds
and no interested in getting so.

Another -less impressive- statements is the “2 cm longer pig tail at the hard setting for making it the perfect set up for Freestyle/Wakestyle moves, offering massive slack”. How about we just depower our kite 2 cm? Same effect. So this is not innovation. This is marketing which is needed when you introduce a new version of the Dice each year.

At a guess - and based on previous kites from B&M - that pig tail setting is designed for a low V bar setting for Wakestyle. They previously had a similar change for the 4 line / 5 line bar settings. It would seem logical for a similar setting for low V given that you see riders in the Click bar promo vids riding using the low V setting

They will not for 2020 kites? That would be a shame.
