Revolution Reflex XX: the missing link to Rev mastery by Revolution Kites

Key takeaways from this video

  • The XX's larger size brings the stability that makes crisp spins possible, with precise wing placement at the end of the rotation.
  • That stability also makes fine-tuning inverted tricks and the inverted hover easier.
  • The XX flies in a wide wind range, especially in light and unsteady wind; the Reflex lets it glide, so you can fly in almost no wind.

    Example number three: everyone wants to be able to fly in a wide range of wind conditions. The larger size of the XX allows you to fly in a wide range of wind conditions, especially in lighter conditions and unstable conditions. The Reflex also allows you to glide your Rev, which allows you to fly in virtually no wind. We'll see you on the field.
