How come slingshot didnt make an RPM in the 2014 line up.

Surely the RPM is one of the companies best selling kite, so why did they discontinue it.

maybe i have my facts wrong but why would one of the major companies stop production of one of their most successful products for the upcoming 2014 season?

RPMs come out late at the end of the year. If you have a look at release dates the 2013 just came out a couple of months ago.

I think the have just started the product shoot for the 2014 if you follow slingshotkites on any of the major social media streams.. So I guess it will be out pretty soon, I wonder if the changed the release schedule of the RPM to better coincide with Xmas period...

Yeah maybe, I was just surprised when it wasn't released with the rest of the 2014 gear.

It is usually a 6 months later I think so they can spread out their R&D.. But yea looks like new one is almost here..

2013 same as 2010
Canvas is newer, bar is wider and more metal
Kite does exactly the same thing pretty much every time
Great kite though
goes wide in the turns, or that could be me
I reckon 2010 better drift

I'm pretty sure they won't be here until early next year. Unlike the other kites, the year model is the actual year it got released.
