We are now accepting pre-orders for the greatly anticipated new kite from Rev. The ZEN is a low wind wing that has the looks of a B-Series, uses regular handles, it's the size of the Rev 1 and a Hybrid frame. Color paterns are still to be determined.
From the Rev Forum from Bazzer himself – "What we have here is a REV 1 size frame set with a B series layout…(that sounds so easy…just make it bigger…if only if it were that simple!)
The frame we are currently testing is a hybrid. 2 wrap center, three wrap or even race everything else.
The kite does fly and look familiar to 1.5, only bigger.
You fly it on regular handles.
Feels very solid in your hands and loads up in low winds.
Gains ground easily. Sooo much less leg work.
Bicycle rotations have slightly more movement when executing due to the bigger sail moving from one hover position to the next.
Axles……oh boy! oh boy! It’s like having an auto ‘complete’ button. Slow and Majestic.
The speed? It is faster than you would think. Not ‘1.5’ fast, but surprising agile for such a large sail.
Tip pivots and rotations are just glorious. There is nothing like watching a big sail arc around a point in space in low wind.
‘B PRO’ leading edge and trailing edge finish work.
