There will be NO batkite for 2007, first hand info from Ruben Lenten!

The 07 Fuels will be a standard C-kite with wider wingtips than last year, a bit more power, supersmooth turning etc...

The graphics Ruben said would be similar to the ones used on the batwing.

Yea, thats what was gonna be the Octane, but it was decided by Slingshot and the importers that it would be best to sell only 2 kites. The high performance fuel, and the Link, instead of being only 4 line coming with the 5 line conversion kit as well. Instead of trying to sell 2 different types of bows, one only being 5 line, one only four line.

Actually three kites for 07...

Fuel...Link...Turbo... Hmmm, the name "Link" now suddenly makes sense eh?

Thanks for the updates Jon & Ian! Reducing the number of kite models seems to make sense from a business standpoint.

Sure going to miss the Octane & Super Octane (Machine) though… Crying or Very sad

What’s the Turbo II gona look/fly like?

Is the new TD going to have a pulley bar like last year or the Link bar?
