The RS Pro in the Eleveight Lineup: Within the Eleveight range, the RS Pro is the technologically refined version of the legendary RS. While the standard RS is considered the ultimate all-rounder, the Pro version is positioned as a high-performance variant, specifically optimized for weight reduction and agility. In our test pool at KITEBUDDY, it's the model for riders who love the familiar, easy handling of the RS but are looking for the next level in terms of jump height and responsiveness. It's the perfect choice if you're looking for a kite that launches earlier in light winds and is more stable in the sky in strong winds. Agile Lift and Ultra-Precise Feeling: On the water, the RS Pro feels noticeably "crisper" than the standard version. Thanks to the reduced weight of the leading edge, the kite turns faster and generates significantly more explosive lift. As a tester, I'm impressed by the direct feedback: Every minimal steering input is immediately translated into action. The 3-strut construction ensures excellent drift in the waves, while the stiffened profile prevents flexing during massive, high-end jumps. It's a kite that actively supports you in pushing your limits without ever letting you down. Who benefits from the RS Pro test model? This test model is aimed at discerning freeriders and big-air beginners who value technological innovation and lightness. It's ideal for kiters looking for a one-kite all-rounder but unwilling to compromise on equipment. Thanks to the attractive KITEBUDDY test price, the exclusive Pro technology is now affordable for riders seeking maximum performance at a fair price. Anyone looking for a stable, technically tested kite that excels in absolutely every condition \u2013 from flat water to waves \u2013 will find their new favorite in the RS Pro. Technical Highlights & Key Facts: Dynea Tex Construction: 30 % stiffer and lighter than standard Dacron for maximum performance. X4 Ripstop Fabric: Highest fabric tension and extreme durability against material fatigue. Ultra-direct Handling: Lightning-fast response to steering inputs thanks to reduced weight. Versatile 3-strut Shape: The perfect mix of freeride, big air, and wave capabilities. Increased Low-End Performance: Noticeably flies earlier than the standard RS due to weight savings. Tested High-End Test Kite: Full pro performance at a KITEBUDDY discounted price. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the Eleveight RS Pro Test Kite: Is the upgrade from the standard RS to the RS Pro worth it? Yes, especially if you value agility and jumping performance. The RS Pro feels more lively and offers more headroom. Is the RS Pro more fragile than the standard RS? No, Dynea Tex is extremely robust. Despite its lighter weight, the RS Pro's structural integrity is even higher than that of conventional kites. Which bar is the best match for the RS Pro? We recommend the Eleveight CS Vary Bar (V5 or V6) as it is perfectly matched to the single frontline safety system. How does the kite behave during a relaunch? Thanks to its delta hybrid shape, the RS Pro pops out of the water almost effortlessly, making it very safe even for intermediate riders. Why should I buy a demo model from KITEBUDDY? We individually test each demo kite for canopy tension and airtightness. You get high-end technology with a full functional guarantee at a great price.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
