If you've got a spare 30 mins

Shame but by the sounds of it after 2nd Stage Depower its game over.

I fancy getting a demo when its eventually out and see if its a quantum leap in kite design or just a bit of hype.

Yeh it sounds good. Aparently only the Crossbow, Switchblade and Convert are being released next year.

No more Revolver and Contra?

I want to see 2 things:

- how massive the bridle is

- Where the 2 front lines branch out as you may only be able to self land 1 direction (without firing the QR).

Looks like the bar hasnt changed too much so you diehard Cabrinha lovers should like that.

Sounds like a good step in the right direction.

Does the flagging system fire when the bar is dropped or only when the QR is fired?

what benefit does this system give over the rev? Nothing.



Once again

Cabrinha bringing you innovations that matter.

I'm confused? Aren't these innovations bringing the Cab bar up to the Rev's standard?

Nice bar setup tho. I think Slingy are supposed to be bringing out a new bar this year too (or maybe next year)

Big change in the Cab bar ... no pulleys and floatation built into bar ends ... a new no frills bar for sure

Contra is out ... not sure if the Revolver will be added on later on for 2009.

i think its bad changes for this year, pretty disappointed with that

I always had the xbows because of the bar pressure, and the pulley system that makes the depower with less bar travel, if i wanted something like that i'd go for the switch blade...

they can't call it crossbow anymore!

shame on you cabrinha!
