The 2010 Slingshot Octane returns with all new sleek styling and performance characteristics. A welcome addition to the CROSSOVER collection.
The 2010 Octane is the answer for every kiter looking for the performance requirements of a traditional "C" shape kite but more of the depower and range of a dedicated hybrid kite.
It has a unique ultra compact bridle and comes complete with the NEW Comp Stick control bar setting the performance level of the Octane at the peak.
Hard core riders looking to boost big airs and down loop their kite to smack the lip is where the Octane excels.
The main thing that sets the New 2010 Slingshot Octane apart from all other kites is its huge wind-range. These kites have a larger wind-range than anything else ever introduced. Turning response is incredibly fast, even faster than the REV2, and the new bridle system on the 2010 Octane has been kept nice and compact to prevent any tangles.
Also new for 2010 is a completely new, revamped bar system. Everything that was great about the Slingshot Direct Drive bar has been kept such as the active stopper bar and CSS (Center Safety System). The 2010 Octane Control bar will feature a push away release, a above the bar swivel on the front lines, and a new super strong lock tube.
The 2010 Slingshot Octane kite is available in 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15m and will come complete with the new 2010 Slingshot Comp Stick Control Bar, and Jenna J Pump.
