![]() Powerful, yet with lots of depower quick to turn yet smooth and manageable to dial into quickly. The FS isn’t too far off the RS in terms of the level of riders who could get on it and have a good time, but it’s when you come to throwing shapes that the FS offers greater performance. Firstly, the FS offers a really good amount of freeride DNA compared to many freestyle kites that can feel heavier to steer and more locked in. We rode the FS on the middle (standard) setting first (and always on the top knot on the back line). There are three knot setting options on the FS front line bridle, giving you the choice of ‘big air – mega loop’ at the top, the middle setting is a combination ‘freestyle / freeride’ while the bottom setting is for the parkstyle / freestyle riders and the label suggests that it delivers the most pivotal turn. This turned out to be a really interesting test because the RS and FS aren’t that far apart in terms of basic accessibility, but there are some very key performance differences, nonetheless. We reviewed the RSeries (crossover freeride) kite in late summer and this time it’s the FSeries (freestyle / freeride), which promises a step up in performance.
