About this kite
The RPX carries Slingshot's open-C freestyle lineage forward: the RPM's beloved pop and slack recalibrated with modern materials and big-air capable lift. It bridges classic unhooked freestyle and the new-school megaloop era — one kite for riders who refuse to choose between decades.
