The 2012 quick release is easy to use, but a giant pain to put back together. The 2013 bar added some features to improve this problem. I recommend you practice with it a few times releasing it in the comfort of your own home and reassembling it. You do not want to do this the first time with sand in it, gloves on, and your cold and wet. It requires a little technique and dexterity. I learnt this the hard way on a long downwinder. All my friends thought I was a nice person that I could not get my bar back together. Pretty embarassing and frustrating.As a beginner, the complexity of the Cab IDS bar scares me a bit
I have a 10m and 13m xbow.toyletbowl wrote:Kits,
12m, 9m is a perfect combo.
Between the 2 kites, the CB is a higher aspect more forward flying kite that will have a little more range, great hang time and geared also towards racing.
That being said, the SB is by far the best selling kite. It's priced right, and is a kite that can be used by so many different riders. This years SB is quicker turning and has lighter bar pressure than last year, but also has a little less power.
For the value, I much prefer the SB.
We have some really good riders in our area that boost huge on SB's and like to throw technical tricks.
I hope this helps and good luck,
