• 5 strut design = Solid feel through all areas of the wind window, Unmatched stability, Maximizes canopy shape integrity
Text says 5 struts. Pictures show 4 struts. Shy what is the scoop!

Not sure what photos you are referring too but the CAD image is 5 strut.
OCTANE is 5 strut.

Am I tripping or are all the stuts and leading edge way skinnier than the rev? I've been known to trip before, so I gotta ask....

| Got a chance to try that bar and it is sick. Swivel works great, centering keyhole is cool, the whole thing is super clean and bomber.

I must be a real idiot, 'cause I don't see how this kite is so radically different than the Rev to warrant a new name.
At least I got rid of my Rev's before the drastic plummet in value for a dis-continued kite!

With a totally redesign bar that comes with the Octane you gonna be even more stoked on it...! 2010 Comp stick is very sweet! Check out a raw tech video regarding the bar for further info and close-up show room bling...

Seriously impressed with the bar setup! I'll hook one up regardless of what kites I get next, love my current SS bar but that's on another level.

Wow Jimi, Never thought I'd see the day. I tried the new Octane 7 the other day, I think you'll be stoked. I'm still hoping to get out there and catch some waves with you and the shan man, before my summer is over.
