The Eleveight RS+ V4 2026This is the premium evolution of the RS platform: an ultra-light freeride crossover kite for demanding riders who crave a direct, finely tuned feel. With its reduced weight, structural precision, and incisive steering, this is the RS pushed to its absolute best.
TESTS AND REVIEWS
Our team rider, Anthony Pihuit, put the 9m² and 12m² kites through their paces in about fifty sessions, riding both twin-tip and kitefoil. He highlighted a noticeably softer bar feel, thanks to the 6-point bridle, and a more vertical lift for big air. Just keep in mind this is the feedback of an Eleveight ambassador, based on only two sizes.
