Hi, anybody has some reviews about North Neo and Dice vs Evo. Low end of the kite and quicknes on turns 2015 model
Thank you
I own 2015 Neo 4, 5 and 7. Neo is the most powerful for sure compare to Evo and Dice. I usually ride Neo 7 with a surf board while others with similar weight use Rebels 9 and 10 on TT. I also tried 2015 Evo 7. It flys faster and more upwind, jumps higher and hangs better than the Neo, but turns slightly slower and doesn't drift as nicely as the Neo in waves. Neo allows me to go smaller and be more nimble in waves while still have enough power at need without too much kite movement.Obi one Kenobi wrote:Hi, anybody has some reviews about North Neo and Dice vs Evo.

I haven't tried 2015 Dices yet. But I used 2014 Dices 4, 7, and 9 for a year. Dices are the least powerful compare to Evo and Neo of the same sizes. However, you can still generate good power from moving the kites up and down. Dice turns fast and smooth and drift very well in the waves. Dice also handles more like a traditional C kite and gives you some slack in the lines after a good pop. For jumping, I found it's better to whip the kite from a lower angle, like using a C kite, to get good height unless the wind is in ther higher range of the kite.
Bar pressures are also different. 2014 Dices and 2015 Evos have less bar pressure than the 2015 Neos.
I am hesitating between the 2015 Dice and 2015 Switchblade. I know that the two kites are very different from each other, but I'll explain how I got here I would be happy if you could help me out with some info about the Dice (the switchblade I know more or less).Westozzy wrote:Any chance you can be more specific than 'low end' and 'turning quickness' and what type of riding you want to do? Spent the last week on the 2015 Evo, have ridden both the 2014 and 2015 dices and neos (not as much) so I might be able to help out.
Would you so kindly to inform us/me about your experineces with the new evo? I'm going to buy 11m2 or 12m2 for oldschool from 18 to 25 knots in very gusty conditions, my wieght is 75kg.Westozzy wrote:Can you give more than turning speed and low end...how do you ride? Spent the last week on the 2015 Evo, have ridden the 2014 and 2015 dices a fair bit, and the neo but not as much. I don't fly any of these kites now, but I know a bit about them comparatively?
