This only relates to the 09 models, called IDS
Crossbow - 7 strut, highest aspect ratio model in the cab range, super easy relaunch, higher lift and easy upwind, big boosting, good hangtime, moderate bar pressure, fast turning/sweep turning, suits hooked in freeriding best.
No bar pulleys, and only 3 per side in the bridle good bar feel.
Switchblade - 5 strut mid aspect ratio model, aimed at wake/freestyle riders, tighter turning but not pivotal, less easy relaunch in lighter winds but very easy in moderate to high winds, medium bar pressure, good boosting and hang time, good upwind. No bar pulleys and 4 per side in the kite bridle.
Convert - 5 strut, mid aspect ratio, suits both hooked in and unhooked riding styles, super easy relaunch in any winds, medium bar pressure similar to SB, good boosting and hangtime, an especially easy kite for begginers to use but suits unhooked wake/freestyle and is also good in waves. No bar pulleys and only 3 pers side in the kite bridle good bar feel. Best priced fully featured kite in the cab range, single colour scheme red/yellow or yellow red!
I've got all models and sizes in stock.
