I am looking to switch to Crossbows this season with a 13-10-7m quiver.

Can anybody tell me if the 2010 Crossbow 7m bottom end will match that of the Switchblade 2 8m?

Thanks

I'm basing my assumption on a 10m Xbow, but I'm gonna say yes it will have the same bottom end... They are super flat kites and hold a lot of power...

I reckon this years 10 is on par with a 12m SB IDS and blows an 11m Nomad out of the water...

Just remember the 2010 Crossbow is geared towards speed and course racing - last years was more of a high jumping, high performance freeriders kite...

I understand that the Crossbow is for speed and course racing and I want that but I am more interested in the jumping capabilities.

I've had enough of doing tricks and I just want to fly (with the odd loop transition for fun.)
