Hey guys,

I am looking at getting a 2013 Xbow but they only have an 11m at a great price. I normally get 12m kites.

Ive been told that an 11m Xbow has the same amount of power as alot of 12m kites.

Any comments/thoughts about this?

What type of riding do you prefer to do?

Just general freeride with a few jumps here and there at the moment.

The Xbow is a powerful kite, not really suitable for beginners, I guess it depends on what kite you have at the moment....?

I'd disagree - it's slow and doesn't make a lot of power in loops... so it's good for beginners :D

Good choice for free ride

The xbow always used to be a super powerful death machine, I guess they have changed it?????
