DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
The ELEVEIGHT RS V9 2025 delivers a distinct feeling of controlled power. It powers up quickly, and you can use the depower to manage the amplitude of your jumps. The 3-strut delta shape keeps the canopy stable overhead, giving you massive hangtime and softer landings. When you're riding, you'll feel a smooth, progressive acceleration as you load up the kite.
Shape and Behavior
Its aerodynamic shape and redesigned Leading Edge boost lift and low-end performance. The kite turns with precision, maintaining a linear pull as you send it for a jump. The fine-tuned bridle provides solid bar feedback, making the steering direct but not twitchy. On the water, the RS V9 is predictable, even when you load it up for a massive boost.
Construction and materials
Eleveight uses X6 Ripstop on the Trailing Edge and wingtips to cut weight while maintaining structural integrity. The canopy is made from Teijin X4 to limit stretch and keep the kite's profile responsive. The 14m and 17m sizes feature XT Light construction for faster turning and improved maneuverability. Triple-reinforced seams are used in high-stress areas for long-lasting durability.
Steering and Bridle
The RS V9's tuned bridle gives you crisp bar feedback, making it easier to time the power delivery out of your loops and turns. You can customize the ride feel using the bridle attachment points for either a more responsive or a smoother, more forgiving steering response. The power delivery is progressive, helping you stay in control during big air sends while still providing an explosive pull when you sheet in.
Wind Range and Practical Uses
This kite is designed for a massive wind range. The redesigned Leading Edge and profile help it generate power in light wind, yet it remains stable and composed when the wind picks up. With sizes from 5m² to 17m², you can build the perfect quiver for everything from lightwind cruising to high-wind boosting. The RS V9 is a true all-rounder for freeride, big air, and even some Surf action.
Care and Longevity Tips
After an intense session, check the reinforced seams and pack the kite away in its ergonomic bag. To keep the fabric in top condition and maintain the kite's shape for years to come, avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods.
