Information about the 2012 Slingshot Fuel Kite

For 2012, the Slingshot Fuel reintroduces one of our most important design features — Splitstrut Technology. The 2012 FUEL is built on a 5 strut platform, making the kite incredibly rigid and stable in even the toughest conditions. This year we"ve also incorporated new trailing edge construction for extra protection to decrease wear. Other innovations such as One-Pump (original Slingshot patented single point inflation system), Custom Fuel Injection (fine tune for wake or freestyle) and Progressive Power Steering (optimum tracking, precision feedback, custom range) continue to lead the industry. The combination of this dedication, design and technology create a kite with unmatched deliberate power, fearless looping and unwavering recovery — making the FUEL the C kite expert rider"s weapon of choice.
