There she is..

Yeah, i can see why people get that feeling. Its got a very stiff and direct pull to it, pulls like a train down low.

If I had the luxury of 3 wings id add a 3.5m probably.

The V5 and V6 definitely share the same design philosophy. They pull forward so are very efficient size for size in comparison to the V4. They are different in transitions to the previous generation, you need to steer them with your back hand, it will fly the direction you point it.

4.5 is a good shout if you're normally on a 5m

Enjoy it..

Soft handles as a default surprises me, does anyone prefer these? First thing I did with my V4 was throw the handles in the bin and put a boom on.

They get sold without any handles, you choose your handles seperately. I think most people ride a boom on the Strikes.

Fone makes a great wing, just too bad their hard handles and boom are so much heavier than others, especially given how short they are, surprised that wasn't addressed.

Honestly I havent held any handle options of other brands, but the F-One options dont feel heavy at all. The hard handles are glass fiber but still feel light. The boom is carbon fiber and definately lighter than a set of handles.

The wings are also lighter than most. My new Strike QuadX is the lightest wing I've ever held ;).

In the end I dont think the 100g difference compared to for example a duotone boom will make the difference on the water anyway.

If the bottom end is much better, how's the top end?

Hopefully the Swing is inbound.
