NEW REDUCED WEIGHT DACRON

• At Slingshot we are constantly testing and researching new materials. We have implemented a new Dacron in our Leading Edge and Struts that is lighter and more rigid than our past Dacron frames.

CLEAN CANOPY

• We drastically reduced canopy paneling from previous kite models. This reduction decreases the kite's overall weight while also providing a more aerodynamic canopy profile.

STREAMLINED PULLEY-LESS BRIDLE SYSTEM

• By eliminating pulleys, riders will feel a more instant and direct input kite input. We use ultra-thin and static bridle lines. Riders will feel less drag through the air due to this streamlined bridle system.

ONE PUMP SPEED SYSTEM

• The patented Slingshot invention has gotten an upgrade. We have increased our One Pump tube diameters for cleaner airflow for easier inflation and repositioned the tubes to be more streamlined and durable.

HYBRID OPEN C CANOPY

• 3 Struts keep the kite's overall weight down while enabling lightning-fast response and intuitive handling. The Hybrid Geometry provides insane wind range, instant water relaunch, and unlimited freeride potential.

4X4 CANOPY TECH

• The Code V1 is built with Teijin 4x4 reinforced ripstop nylon. This creates the strongest, stiffest, and most durable canopy on the market. Your kite will last longer and feel more stable in the air, especially in gusty wind

MULTIPLE ATTACHMENT POINTS

• Different attachment points integrated into the kite allow you to fine-tune handling, power, and performance based on your riding style and the conditions of a particular session.
