The opportunities come up for me to get a brandnew Revolver from a shop with waranty etc, I was orriginally looking at getting a Used REV 2. the used Rev2's are still more expensive then the brand new revolver.
I was just after some advice on which way to go as im on a tight buget. Im 95kg and very familier with the Rev 1 and 2's but ive never flowen and know nothing about any of the Cabrinha's. Im also after some info about how different in performance, wind range and quality they are?
any advice would be hugly apreciated
hey, ive ridden both kites several times, i own a cab revolver and the rev is a nicer kite to fly IMO.... better for unhooking, and i think it is just a nicer kite to fly.the rev doesnt have as much depower in the bar stroke as the revolver ( i ride with 1:1) and if i fully push out the bar the kite will fall out of the sky. both kites jump high and are both good in waves the only downfall with the rev is the bar but if you look after it i think you would get to like the rev alot more. i definatley wouldnt recommend looking at revolvers if you are going to be unhooking as they WONT SIT STILL. i would probably say go for the rev. 
ive got revolvers (9 & 12) love em turn quick and heaps of power.Sold my rev to get them.
If you plan unhooking or riding in the surf - get the rev
the revlover is heavy on bar pressure
thanks alot everyone, im probly gona end up getting the rev, what about the wind ranges are they the same between the Revolver and Rev?
I have ridden both and found the REV 11 to have much better bottom end and feel. The Revolver felt very spongey in 1:1 mode.
I weigh 85kg and use a 136 twin tip. My useable wind range on the REV11 is 14knots bottom end (can go lighter but not really having fun) and fully powered at 25knots. Can go a bit higher but again not having fun. Ideally over 22knots a 9m would be better.
