2005 airush lift and reactor

grunty kites or smooth ferraris that you can hold in high winds?

herd good things about the kites but the hompeage is overexaggerating a little too much to be believable...

what about 2004 lift and lift pro?

Lift pro was bit more old style of kite, high AR, quick, not really good for wakestyle and new moves, the reactor is a pro level kite, very fast turning, yet a bit lower in AR tha the old LPro, more stable and without any of the problems that the old lift pro had, IMO the reactor is a better kite. Even tough if you are an average rider that ride for fun and want a performing yet durable kite thet Lift is the best option, the reactor is a very demanding kite, in skills and handling, since it is very sensitive to bar pressure comparing to the lift or LPro, also has no protection on the LE and other stuff built in so the kite is lighter to make it fly better, the precision it's so extreme that when I tried the kite it felt on the water and for 3 or 4 minutes the kite didn't perform as well as before because of the water weight.

IMO if you like good performance and a reliable kite go for the lift, a bit slower on turning, a bit more grunty and a lot easier to make it perform.
