Bringing back an old poll with a more complete list of kites, pick a few of your favorite Revs, imagining that you have your choice of wind, frame and lines for each one... Ideal set up, ideal conditions - what do you think?

 

Let me know if a kite is not included and needs to be considered for the list...

1. Must be either Revolution made or officially licensed.
2. Must be from a generally available line of Revs, past or present.
3. Color and print (non-aerodynamic) variations don't count.

B PRO Full sail and B PRO Xtra vent. 

With just enough wind to keep good sail pressure in a full sail, I can do anything I want. Precision is great, tricks are great, team flying is great, and I can even run 360s if I really want to.

 

The Xtra vent is just smoooooooth. Not going to be running any 360s on it, but if I want to be perfectly precise, that's the kite in its ideal wind condition.

B2 Standard, hands down my absolute favorite. Little kite, big winds, BIG FUN!

Not flown a lot of Variety, But I love My B Series.

The STD is my Choice for Lighter wind, Prefering the 3 Wrap Mid LE and 2 Wrap everywhere else.

 

The Vented comes out in any wind that will support it. I dont wait for strong wind, I get it out as much as I can.

3 Wrap or 4 as needed.

I actually ran into a 20 answer limit on the poll, but didn't even think to see if I could up that limit as a forum admin.

 

All good now, updated and reordered slightly.

Thanks!

My favourite is not listed above, it's a custom printed Rev, courtesy of Los Hermanos Kites. http://www.facebook....es/196575170013

Pro Midvent is the one for me. Amazed and surprised at how smooth it is, and the lower wind performance in these goofy Ohio winds.

Added Polo kites, although they're not made or finished in the Rev factory, they are authorized.

Wow, So many different Rev Types, so little money...

 

Still Love My B Series Set. They are not "Pro" but neither am I

Thanks John, I thought when I posted that my custom printed, though, "Licensed" may have not been recognised as a "real" Rev, but it flies on a butterfly fart and I love it. Prior to that I would have voted for the SUL.

The SUL was the kite that turned me from a bloke that flies a Rev into a "Rev Flier". It was a low wind summer evening I was struggling with my SLE and a friend lent me an SUL, within days I had ordered my second Rev.

[Kitelife]

Aye Bob, the Polorev is not actually made by Rev - but I didn't want to look like a ****-blocker. lol

 

It's all good, we're having fun - vote away.

[SkyPuppet]

My 2 favs are the same as Watty's - STD and the Xtra. Very tough for me to not pick the Zen as one of them..... Very very tough.

The STD is an inland-wind workhorse, a tireless friend in bad winds (!). The Xtra handles so well in high winds, taming my inputs and tempering the wind's force all at once.

Outdoors - mid or xtra vent for me!! Love how the venting smooths it all out!! 

 

Indoors - INDOOR ROCKS!! 

[kwmf]

I think the indoor needs updating... Indoor pro ;-) Pretty please Ben and Bazzer

[Kitelife]

Looks like B-PRO STD and XTRA are kicking butt so far.
