First US retailer I've seen list them. Including wind range and specs. More expensive than I was expecting. F-One site is also under construction - wouldn't surprise me if we saw them officially launched this week (also AWSI).

Has to be placeholder pricing. That's more expensive in USD than they are here in AUD.


Don't forget that all the gear is more expensive in the US due to tariffs.
For example, Ozone is about 30% more expensive than in Canada.

Seems like a pretty honest review.

yep agree way more than the kite world review that's for sure,one thing I noticed in kite world review video which wasn't particularly appealing to me was lower/waterside wing tip fluttering quite a bit at many parts of video, more so than my 4m V1 Frigate would dunno about that one for a V2

All the early reviews say better low end then quest or V1. Mackite is not amused with the low end...

Are any of these reviews "independent"?

Doesn't look like any of the current reviews are independent. MeonAsh (wing-tips on youtube) ordered a 3.5 but since he is independent, he won't get it prior to public release. I'm looking forward to his review. Especially in relation to his very balanced review of the hatch V2.

Anyone seen any real numbers on line length, or specific comparisons to the quest line length for any given size? I’m kind of curious to replace my 5m quest with the 5.5 frigate but still want it to be easily stashable (which the 5m quest definitely is).

Most say better top end not bottom end so size up 0.5m

all looking very good except the opinion on low end not being very good. I was hoping it would have a good low end and be quite pump able. I guess that’s just one opinion so we’ll see in the long run. I really like the bar and reduced bridal lines seems very simple and user friendly. I had been eyeing off a 5.5 to replace my 5.4 pt skin. I saw online that the 5.5 and 6 use 2 different canopy weights. The leading edge material is the same as all the other sizes and the canopy and trailing edge is a lighter material.will have to wait and see if that works well but at least it shows their putting a lot of thought into their light wind sizes

It's now live on the f-one site. They rate both the low end and high end at 95%.
MacKite review is really the outlier so far.
