What type of bar pressure? Constant or high pressure?

My waroo doesnt have much at all... much less than my 15m c kite... no stopper so it's constant light pressure, but thats a function of the bar (no stopper on my bar). I can hold the bar in with one hand easily.

The crossbow (the version I rode) on the other hand has a LOT of bar pressure. I get tired quick trying to turn those things. I can't imagine trying to ride one without a stopper! I brought it back pretty quick with pumped forearms.

I dunno anything about the bar pressure of other flat kites.

The 16M Turbo Diesel has a TON of bar pressure. Same situation as you mentioned on the Crossbow Tom. :evil:

You can try my 16 if you want. You'll see what I mean...

As for that Best warranty being the best in the business...

Kia's have a 6 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty.

Toyota's have a 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.

It's all relative... :lol:

Just kidding... :wink:
