The recoil (spring) factor is one that NONE of the manufacturers I’ve spoken with seem to be able to translate on a technical end - Rev’s original diamond and race rods for example, are among the best in this category but I can’t seem to find (or request) it elsewhere. To that end however, we’ve been prototyping the Djinn on nothing but P100-P400 and the new Sync bridle doesn’t require the same sort of recoil (different loading / support) so it’s almost moot for me now, to a point.

What a treasure trove topic, not much out there on bridle boards - thank you! 👍🏻

Non-ferruled, 31”. 👍🏻 Choice of ferrule material varies greatly, not worth trying to track that in these numbers I think.

Note, weight is only one factor... When selecting quad spars for me and my team, we look at: 1 - stiffness, actual resistance to bending 2 - recoil, spar memory / back to straight 3 - resilience, resistance to flexed breakage 4 - weight if I had to prioritize, I’d lean toward factors 1 and 2, weight isn’t as big a factor if (a) the kite is designed well and (b) it’s tuned correctly... A good “engine” can move a lot of weight.

Just weighing spars this morning, thought you all might enjoy the data... Bear in mind, Rev rods tend to have a lot more variance from spar to spar (hand wrapped) and I didn’t weigh multiples of the same so this should serve as a flexible reference only. Note: “NEW” indicates the latest model spars with green stripes on either side of the label, the other references indicate silver (semi-recent) or gold (original) labels.

For the record, I’m not sure much much longer I’ll be offering this service - my schedule is getting crazy between travel and Kite Forge. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

Great to hear! Adding all the mods really locks in the sail, more solid at the end of the lines. [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
