Does anyone have any idea when the 2018 North Neo will be available in Australia?

The line lengths must be changing on the 2018 bars as I noticed the options for placement of lines for 2017 and before are slightly different to the 2018 for the Rebel anyway. Had a week of using the new 2018 Rebel a few weeks ago in good wind and like mentioned is now 4 or 5 line. Flys great with typical Rebel characteristics.

... my guess is that the Y point is different in the new bars compared to the older bars and the different knots are to adjust for that i.e. the 2018 is lower Y so different knots is to compensate for the difference!

Pigtail attachment points have been there for a couple of years (at least since 2015) and are for use with different bars (quad or 5th element) so that you get the same line lengths as the different height Y's change the effective front line length. If you watch the product videos they talk about the different attachment points and show you which to use depending on whether you are flying 4 or 5 line.
