Lots of metal bits! Lookin sharp (In a good way)
I'm glad you guys all read k-forum and get to find all this info lol 
Otherwise we'd never see this stuff
looks like they have been looking at the forums and getting the feed back.looks awesome. swivel pulley at top ,new quick release and cleating system and the chicken loop looks a bit smaller too. i`ll be interested on how the plastic swivel pulley system holds out over a period of time.the space between the center lines will naturally aid in activating the untwisting via the swivel.
congrats to slingshot
i may have made a mistake! it may be poder coated metal, can anyone confirm what it`s made of.
cheers.
Looks awesome
Everything this year from Slingy is looking sooo nice. You should check out their surfboard range. Wow!!
Two questions tho:
1. Have they finally sorted that crap safety leash out yet (made it push release instead of pull release)
&
2. When will they spill the beans on the new Octane
^Safety Leash^
As in the red tube on the leash. You know, the tube QR that catches on your harness and fires itself
Hmm, looks like a nicer c loop than their last one, I dunno about that swivel majig, looks heavy, big and chunky.
The new safety leash is a push away, and the swivel is a moulded product with a thruster bearing in the middle. First flights in light winds worked well. just waiting for some wind to try them properly!

Seems the top of the chicken loop is also flat so it aligns with the bar and keeps the chicken loop in place for unhooked stuff.
The new bar looks like a winner, cant wait to try one.
Does anyone know if the current RPM will be shipping with them at any stage?
Looks good. Will have to get a pair of the new pads and straps as well. 
They look very similar to a certain brands pads and anothers straps.
not sure about where the safety leash is attatched to the chicken loop. Looks like it will be hard to hook back in after an unhooked trick as the leash will be in the way.
Why not put the leash attachement above the loop
Slingshot = FAIL
The leash sits under the chicken loop when you unhook. In that pic it's upside down.
It's the same system Ozone uses with the leash attachment inside the chicken loop.
It's actually very easy to hook back in, and keeps the chicken loop straight rather than having it lean to one side.
Slingshot = Onto a winner this year
^^^^^ So is the metal donkey dick part is the suicide attachment and the CSS is the flaging line? If i'm seeing it correctly
The new slingshot bar looks nice. I'm a big fan of their bar set up. However, there is one thing that annoys me about the bar that is so simple to fix but they never do. They need to include an elastic cord at the ends of the bar to clip over the lines when you have wound up your lines.
Got any pics of the 2010 grab handle? I hope they have put a bearing in there for ultimate board spinage.
