This kite is perfect for riders who want performance and comfort. Details : Clam cleat on the chicken loop to adjust the depower, slidding stopper ball, fifth line. The Vapor II is a hybrid kite, mixed between SLE and C-shape kites. This kite is really reliable. The bar pressure is really light but still gives good feedback, so the rider knows where the kite is in the wind window. The Depower adjustment on the chicken loop is really easy to use. This kite doesn't like too much tension on the back line and back stall sometimes. The Vapor II Has a lot of power all the time but with a good amount of depower also, which helps to give the kite a really large wind range. Jumping is the best part of the Vapor II, the lift is really good. The re-launch is easy, even without using the fifth line. It's a really original hybrid kite, between Generator and Flow SLE. Good point : Lift - Depower - Steering Bad point : Stability
