Extraordinary efficiency

The RS V9’s refined aerodynamic profile delivers exceptional low-end power across all sizes. The 14m and 17m models feature XT Light material, enhancing turning speed and responsiveness. With seamless performance in any condition, the RS reduces the need for a large quiver, covering a wide wind range effortlessly.

Massive hangtime, easy upwind

Enjoy insane hangtime, smooth forward drive, and effortless upwind travel. The RS’ refined angle of attack ensures easy loop recovery and control, even in gusty or choppy conditions.

Fast, agile and smooth

Dynamic and agile, the RS V9 turns with precision. Adjusted wingtip curvature and refined bridle points reduce bar pressure, delivering smoother turn initiation and increased control.

New for V9

V9 features Teijin’s X6 ripstop material for lighter, more durable wingtips and trailing edge, as well new triple closing seam reinforcements throughout. The refined leading-edge arc allows better power development and low-end, and new bridle adjustments give even better bar feedback with optimised trim options. The new rotated leading edge seam reduces bridle catch and the revamped storage-friendly kite bag completes the upgrade to elevate your session further.

Peter Stiewe

Founder / Kite Designer

“The RS V9 brings several incremental improvements while staying true to its versatile, fun-driven DNA. A slightly higher projected area boosts low-end power, while direct bar feedback ensures a responsive feel. We’ve also optimized the bridle line trim options, allowing riders to fine-tune the kite to their style and conditions.”
