RRD HyperType 9 m2 testi Kiteworld Magazinessa
Testaajana mm. Mark Shinn
The Hype:
The Hyper Type offers the simplicity of a four line set up and complete depower , without compromising control.
The Hyper Type also has an 11% larger projected area than its predecessor, the ZH and Hir, for more power. A simple bridle supports the leading edge and eliminates heavy bar pressure. Outstanding upwind and jumping make the new Hyper Type the right choice for those intermediate riders that are looking for a safe, yet manouvrable kite for every day riding.
Test Team Notes:
Will: I generally have a problem with most of these hybrids in that they are not most stable when you’re stood on a gusty beach. Having said that, on the water they become super-stable.
Shinn: Yeah, flying it’s very stable indeed. A very impressive design with really good hang-time.
Will: Super-smooth turning and lovely power delivery, however not the best unhooked as it seems to stall at times and doesn’t really offer a good C shape style loop. I found it one of the most grunty of the hybrids, though, and it’s fast. A powerful kite with very fast loop. Overall, for comfort, efortless riding and jumping and enjoyment, this is really, really good.
Shinn: The bar system is simple but effective. Generally I think this is a good choice for wave riding and general high-wind fun, and the depower is excellent.
George: For me the best things about this is insane jumping and float-ability. If you’re intermediate and looking for a good old-school jumping buzz then this is a wise choise. Bling, nice fixtures and one pump.
Summary:
This is a really ”electric” kite. You’ll ride fast, hard, jump higher and further than you’ve ever jumped before and immediately find the whole experience very enjoyable and easy to go along with. It’s a bit like giving kind his first catapult – at first he’s all power crazy and further untill eventually he gets a little too close to the next village and scares himself silly. Fun though.
