My 9m rev is getting tired, it is my most used kite Very Happy and I am thinking of replacing it with a 10m rpm I mostly ride the coast with a SST and I am looking for the same bottom end as the 9m rev Smile any thoughts? My light wind kite is a 13m rev and I can get out to do downwinders at the coast in 12 kts

The RPM 10 is sick its my favorite size, and has a better low end. I would go with that.

how close is it to the REV 11?

having a 7,10,11, quiver just seems a little metro sexual to me.

I'd go with the 10m over the 9. Definitely has a bit more low end than the 9 REV, but still rides with similar response. Truly does feel inbetween the 9 and 11 REVs to me. Ridden it from light Sauvies this year (when 14s and 11s are the only kites on the water), to super-powered 30mph+ at Manzo where I was lit pretty much out of control! Cool

PostTue May 26, 09 9:16 am    I would say the rpm 10 is like the rev9 Reply with quote

The range and adjustments on the rpm 10 make it more like the 9 rev 08. The rpm 12 is like the rev 11 to me.

Butt, and I like big Butts, and I can not lie.

I like to ride powered up.
