Is Rebel being phased out ?

[lander]

Why would anyone choose the Rebel over the Dice? When looking on these data specs, the Dice seems to do everything better:

[pmaggie]

They are two very different kite, don't look too much at the data specs. The Rebel is a pure 5 lines hybrid design oriented to freeriding, with great upwind capabilities, easy relaunch and top safety. The Dice is a C-like design, fast and responsive, more direct than the Rebel, oriented to freestyle and waves. What I frankly can't understand about the specs of the Dice is about racing...

Having tried both kites, their difference is night-and-day. Both excel at very different things.

clearly these specs are wrong! and they are different than the paper catalogue
clearly the dice has NOTHING for racing: average upwind, poor low end

rebel is one of the best selling kite of north, they will hardly phase it out soon

[Babel]

I think its a mistake. Rebel being almost the worst kite for race???

Already told North about 3 weeks ago, but they never check their Facebook account

Does the Rebel relaunch better?

..well that all depends if you know how to use a C kite or not.

Very differnt kites, I to have noticed these specs on ether website, have ridden both a lot, a
Hence take no notice of them.

Rebel is the number one selling kite in the world. Why would the company vase it out. You can't compare dice to rebael but there is a small cases for comparing Evo vs Rebel

[windybrit]

I reckon the only problem the Rebel has in the current North lineup is that it doesn't end in a vowel

Yeh the charts are crazy. I think it's better to look at the shape of the kite and then pick your poison...
