What factors contribute towards the TURBO 2 overall price?

Slingshot’s primary goal is to provide overall value to the customer. What this means 
is selling a superior quality kite backed by unmatched customer experience at the 
best possible price. When you buy a Slingshot kite you not only buy a technologically 
superior product but you also inherit the entire Slingshot customer service family.

Slingshot kites have been and always will be known for their legendary bomber 
construction. We recognize that kites take a fair amount of abuse from being crashed 
onto the water, land and even some undesirable objects such as bushes and rocks. 
We also recognize the need for your gear to withstand the daily abuse of relentless 
wind and sun. This is the reason behind Slingshot’s decision to place such an empha-
sis on quality and durability.

Slingshot is also synonymous with innovation. Innovations such as our patented 
Onepump single point inflation technology, the revolutionary 4 Line Full Stroke Bar, 
below the bar TRIM / de-power and the Active Stopper Ball are just to name a few. 
We constantly push and test the technology envelope to bring you, the rider; quality 
products that help you set a new personal best. 

Our experienced newly established Rider Service Hotline is always available and eager 
to help via phone or email. If you have any questions or concerns, just contact us, and 
you will receive a professional and timely response. Great customer service is our 
number one.

What does the 4 line bridle do?

The bridle is necessary to support the flatter shape of the TURBO 2 kite. This bow 
style shape allows for more range and de-power given an increased projected area 
resulting in a more efficient kite. 

Why does the new 4 Line Full Stroke Bar have bar mounted pulleys?

The 4 Line Full Stroke Bar, simply put, is the cleanest most versatile bar on the 
market.  Bar mounted pulleys are necessary to achieve full depower associated with 
these flatter style kites.  4 line Full Stroke Bar has bar mounted pulleys to allow for a 2 
to 1 ratio on the steering lines and sheeting.
