kyle2brown Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 In blurb on the Ion 2 (http://www.iksurfmag.com p131) Flexi aren't claiming 100% depower. Whats going on. Surely thats got to be a manufacturer 1st Quote
xdavemarshallx Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 ....they didn't on the Ion or the Atom either... I'm not claiming 100% depower exists, it does not, but the Ion/Ion 2 and Atom were not designed for 100% depower......hence it does not have it. With full depower is is only say 80-85% depowered compared with flatter bow/sle kites like the Waroo, crossbow etc etc which don't get to 100%, but are designed to get closer than the hybrids. The downside of this is the less stable flatter shape. Quote
paulie_amoose Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 North dont claim it either.... Rebel/Rhino - Ultimate depower Vegas - Excellent depower Quote
kyle2brown Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 North dont claim it either.... Rebel/Rhino - Ultimate depower Vegas - Excellent depower Surely Ultimate is 100%. Surely Quote
Craig Sparkes Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 100% Depower MEANS NO POWER at all, so kite would be under NO tension. Quote
paulie_amoose Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 North dont claim it either.... Rebel/Rhino - Ultimate depower Vegas - Excellent depower Surely Ultimate is 100%. Surely Does it? They would probally say that Ultimate depower is best depower you can get out of the kite. Still not claiming it's 100% though. At the end of the day it's all marketing blurb anyway get you to part with your hard won cash!!!!!!!!! Quote
youngrider Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 also stops the kite inverting aasmuch as the 100% depower Quote
pok_17r Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 No Ozone didn't claim it either Ah but Ozone say this: Total Depower – From Full Power to No Power :rolleyes: Quote
samhengistkites Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 100% depower is bye bye kite time isnt it? Quote
scuttler Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 lol basicly 100% depower does not exsist without losing the kite, but because there is so little power in the kite they get away with saying 100% depower. as said above some kites dont get as close as others. Quote
