What becomes immediately apparent is the explosive and yet smooths power generation of the RIOT XR with massive Hangtime on demand.
Thanks to the newly developed Profile (flatter at the top and rounded tips) the wind range has been noticeably improved: High-End (up to 5 knots more) with a lot of control at both the High and Low End limits. With the reduced drag and almost completely reduced lateral forces the RIOT XR has once again dramatically improved the upwind performance of the Kite.
In low winds the already good launching ability has been optimized with the new auto relaunch and wider tips.
Freeride has never been so comfortable.
CROSSRIDE
Crossride – this sums up the Riot XR – Freeriding, Cruising, Carving, easy Wave and Hangtime; which in no way excludes Free-, Wake- and Newstyle!
The (until now absent) Synthesis – predominantly from the modern Delta with the control of the Bow and enough C-Kite feeling – lends itself to the Freerider who wants performance with Comfort and endless Control.
FEEL IT
Feel the unmatched light bar pressure as well as the Ease and Safety of the Kite. In addition to these the RIOT XR has noticeably improved bar feedback especially when depowered - this makes Wave riding an absolute pleasure. This kite is aimed to give you a comfortable ride and performance with limitless control.
ADAPT YOURSELF
New and exclusive is the three-step adjustable Bar-pressure of the Kite as well as the three adjustable turning speeds.
In this way the RIOT XR achieves new Kiteloop and Wave performance levels, Hooked/Unhooked for smooth, quick and on demand turning of the Kite.
