I use the XR5 and am very happy with it. It is a personal principle of mine that I stay away from producers who release annual versions of their products just because they can. Simply calling something “2018” does not make it innovative or particularly new. And while I haven’t tried the Rebel 2018, there’s no doubt the Rebel is a very good kite overall.

Heavy to describe, the Rebel2018 is a little bit funnier, it turns a little bit quicker and it is lighter to jump high.

Just a typo...he meant to write "easy"....and meant "more fun "
Not a fan of Rebel "dumb valve "......XR5 is the fastest deflate when packing wingtips to center
