The Strutless REVO is our ultra-light kite for tricks in kite foiling and underpowered surfing.

Presentation

For years, GONG has held a unique concept of an extremely lightweight kite with optional fiberglass battens: the Strutless. The 40% volume gained by removing inflatable battens is a real asset for travel. But that's not the main argument. The real qualities are in the air. The absence of drag created by inflatable battens is truly felt. The kite glides unrestrained through the air and flies from as little as 3 knots of wind. With this mono-batten but strutless kite, you gain in glide, maneuverability, and relaunch capability. The batten is optional, it's up to you whether to use it or not, and it naturally slides into place along the trailing edge like on a windsurfing sail. In case of a crash, relaunching in reverse is particularly easy on the Strutless Revo, and often the only solution in under 8 knots. The Strutless Revo is so light that it can fly forward and backward by adjusting the tension on the rear lines. It relaunches with less wind and faster. Essential for kite foiling. Extensive work has been done on the bridles and the ratio with two objectives: exceptional maneuverability even in the lightest conditions, and stability under all circumstances. The Strutless Revo is designed to be very user-friendly and hassle-free: inflation in 30s, minimal adjustments, and easy relaunch. In light winds, the Strutless Revo is the queen of kite foiling tricks and a fantastic surfer.

Durable Construction.

Our kites are built with the best materials available for a kite, using Dacron.

Our decades-long experience in kite making, along with all the advancements made in wing technology, have enabled us to push the performance of our kites to unprecedented levels.

The Dacron DP 175LL, combined with seams tested on a bench, provides the best in terms of rigidity and material resistance for the leading edge in Dacron.

The proven triple ripstop fabric offers perfect longevity and resistance with an ultra-lightweight of 55g/m2.

Strategically placed reinforcements ensure the durability of your equipment:

  • Insigna on the leading edge in areas prone to friction.
  • Tips reinforced with Dacron DP175LL and Nylon 1680D on the last sections of the leading edge.
  • Trailing edge in Dacron DP175LL to resist flapping over time.

Technical sheet

Kite Strutless Revo - 9 m² WHITE Second Hand 12860 9 m² / WHITE

Fiche technique : 

  • Leading edge et struts en Dacron DP175LL : squelette rigide.
  • Bord de fuite en dacron DP175LL pour une bonne résistance aux accrocs et une meilleure longévité dans le vent.
  • Canopy en spi triple ripstop hyper résistant et dynamique.
  • Renforts Insigna sur le bord d’attaque stratégiquement placés pour une meilleure durabilité.
  • Tips saver en nylon 1680D pour protéger les tips des frottements.
  • Bridage Dyneema gainé Robline 1,9mm et connexion en LIROS DC701 : très fins, de haute qualité, et faible élongation.
  • Bridages 100% démontables pour un remplacement facile des pièces d’usure.
  • Anneaux de friction en inox A4 qui ne se coincent pas et ne s’usent pas.
  • Lattes en fibres de verre qui supprime l’effet accordéon au choqué.

Shape : 

  • Design 0 latte gonflable : 1 latte en fibres de verre optionnelle : fine et légère, elle ne perturbe pas les écoulements. La Strutless Revo va vite en générant peu de traînée, et tient parfaitement en l’air dans 4 nœuds. La latte en fibres de verre booste la plage haute, le cap, et le redécollage.
  • Open C shape : optimisé pour la glisse dans le vent léger et le foil. Coefficient de projection : 67,6% : l’arc le plus plat de la gamme.
  • Ratio faible (4,3) et surface centrée pour un bon fond de puissance, une super maniabilité, et une présence dans toute la fenêtre. Elle est hyper stable au zénith, et elle rattrape beaucoup d’erreurs dans peu de vent.
  • Profil tolérant pour un maximum de stabilité en plage haute et en cas d’erreurs de pilotage et permettre une super ressource dans les loops.
  • Bord d’attaque relativement fin au centre pour une aile rapide et fine dans l’air, tout en gardant de la section sur les tips pour conserver la surface et de la rigidité lors de fortes sollicitations dans les moves ou en plage haute.
  • Creux faible pour garder de la glisse en foil, éviter les flaps et accordéon, mais aussi avoir un bon depower en surf.
  • Outline waveriding : bord d’attaque très courbé pour une maniabilité optimale et un redécollage “automatique”. L’aile peut rouler sur l’eau pour se remettre en position de décollage en tirant doucement un arrière.
  • Latte en fibres de verre optionnelle : supprime l’effet accordéon au choqué. Idéal en plage haute ou full speed en foil. Ce kite fonctionne parfaitement sans la latte qui est un plus qu’on utilise ou non selon les conditions.
  • Tips rondes et reculées avec une surface importante permettant une bonne maniabilité en plage basse dans peu de vent réel.
  • Shape des tips sans vrillage interne pour une aile avec une rotation appuyée sur la surface des oreilles et non sur le frein. On garde un kite rapide en rotation, qui ne stall pas notamment en plage très basse ou dans les chutes sous 6 nœuds de vent. La Strutless Revo tient au zénith et en bord de fenêtre mieux que n’importe quel kite.
  • Tension de spi légère et ajustée sur chaque section afin d’optimiser le pilotage du kite : plus réactif (direct feeling : pas de temps de latence) → peu de tension sur la Strutless Revo pour garder un kite docile et doux.
  • Retour en barre doux et facilitant : vous savez toujours où se place votre aile par une pression constante et très dosée en barre.
  • Depower médium car on souhaite avoir un fond de puissance dans le harnais qui garantisse une glisse ultime dans le vent léger. En clair, les avants sustentent et on le laisse dans les arrières que le pilotage directionnel.
  • Shape “autostable” avec son ratio faible qui se pose sur l’air. Les tips reculées qui répartissent la masse un peu vers l’arrière du kite pour éviter les piqués/décrochages. On a en mains un kite prévisible et sain pour un maximum de sécurité. Ça laisse le temps de replacer la planche pour repartir après une chute sans paniquer avec un kite qui ne demanderait qu’à tomber.
  • Bridage court des avants sur 6 points pour bloquer l’effet poulpe, avec 1 poulie anneau de friction pour plus de depower et un comportement plus homogène dans tous les aspects du vol.
  • 3 points d’attaches des arrières pour doser la réactivité et la présence en barre selon le feeling de chacun.





Buying guide

For whom?

In single-strut fiberglass, it's as simple as any inflatable single-strut kite. So, everyone will easily access its incredible flying qualities, especially in light wind conditions where it's amazing.
Moreover, it's a kite that inherently isn't ridden overpowered, and therefore, isn't physically demanding.

For what?

The Strutless Revo is the inflatable single-strut kite that will excel in foil freeride/tricks and surfing.
You can also leisurely cruise with a kite that doesn't pull air and glides beautifully in light or gusty winds.
Ideal for foiling, it also works great for surfing for those who love light and self-stable kites.

Understanding our kite range:

Display : the freeride kite for rapid progression.

Vertigo : high-performance kite for all disciplines from unhooked to surfing.

Ayto : the ultimate 5-strut kite for big air and kite loops.

Unik : lightweight mono-strut freeride kite for light wind, foiling, and waves.

Strutless : super light kite for light wind and freeride/freerace.

Strutless Revo : ultra-light and maneuverable kite for foiling and surfing.

Elips : the ultimate kite for waves.

What size?

The Strutless Revo, with its low ratio and thin profile, is a kite that glides but doesn't need to be overpowered to have fun.
Choose your kite following our recommendations below. Wind ranges always depend on your weight, skill level, and the type of board you're riding!

Bar Size:

Keep in mind that the longer your bar, the easier it will be to turn your kite. Also, remember that the smaller the kite, the easier it will turn. So, the smaller the kite, the more you need a smaller bar to balance behaviors.

Conversely, the larger your kite and the more you use it in light wind, the slower it will be. A longer bar will have a greater leverage effect to compensate for this natural loss of reactivity.

Therefore, consider these parameters to choose the size of your bar and adapt the steering to the feeling you like and the conditions encountered.

If you want smooth and progressive steering, then you should “undersize” the bar. If you want more reactive but less forgiving steering, you should choose a longer bar.

For example, if I want smoother steering with my 9m2, then I will go for a 46cm bar.

If I want hyper-reactive steering, then I would go for the 52cm bar.

Oversizing the bar will have little interest and paradoxically will result in a feeling of heaviness in steering in the case of the 62cm. This one will be perfect, even essential in light wind. But in stronger winds, it will be slower to untwist and manipulate.

Between the 46 and the 52, there is no sensation of heaviness. These are two very close bars.

Note also that the 52 is perfectly usable on all our kites. No kite will not work or perform poorly for this reason. The 46, 57 and 62 are just optimizations for perfectionists.

It should also be noted that two bars generally age only half as fast as a single bar for the whole quiver ?

The key size is 52cm; it is the most versatile bar that you should choose if you want to have only one bar for a quiver 7-9-12 or 8-11 or even 8-10-13. If you want to add a second bar to your quiver, here are our recommendations with GONG kites:

The recommendations below are based on the behavior of GONG kites. Since our bars are compatible with a large number of kites, you can adjust your choice according to the type of kite used.

Line Length:

Your Feel-X bar comes standard with 80cm front lines, 19m of lines, and 3m extensions already mounted. The original setup is the most versatile and will be your best choice for 90% of your sessions.

One of the main advantages of the Feel-X bar is its great tolerance provided by its shape. By playing with its lengths, or even modifying them with our extensions (sold separately), you further enhance its versatility!

  • 22m Lines:
    The "standard" length provides a more progressive and predictable bar feeling (recommended setting for progressing kiters). Your flight window will be larger, offering more power at takeoff. This is the setting to favor in light to medium wind conditions, and for everyday freeride use.
  • 19m Lines:
    Shorter lines offer a more direct response from the kite, increasing its reactivity. The flight window will be shorter. This is the perfect setting for advanced kiters, especially for wave riding or foil for more agility. If you choose to ride with shorter lines, you will also gain comfort in high wind conditions.

Note that 22m and 19m are not extreme line lengths and remain a fine adjustment to your piloting sensation.
