Flexifoil Blurr vs Rage vs Yakuza?


Hey All!

So I am looking to add a 2.5m(ish) to my quiver for fun, fast static flying in higher winds. So in compairing the first two, the Blurr costs almost twice as much as the Rage. Is the performance really worth it? The 2.5 Blurr costs as much as my 5m Haka :puzzled: Also in the running is the Yakuza 2.2m. This runs about the same price as the kite only Blurr and the Yakuza has lines and handles. As it stands right now I am planning to get the Rage. The bang for the buck seems to be there. What do you guys think?

Just to clarify, the Yakuza is sold as kite and bag only from Ozone. Lines and handles are sold separately unless included by the shop or person you are purchasing from.

Is the performance worth it??? Well, you are probably the only one that can truly answer that question. For racing and getting every bit of edge that you can then yes, the performance is well worth every penny. It all depends on what you are wanting out of your kite. As a personal opinion, the 2.2 Yakuza will stomp all over the 2.5 Rage in speed and power. :)

I fly the 7 and 10m Session and it goes upwind like no other bar foil around. In my opinion Libre Spirit and JoJo RM+ out class the field in performance, stability, quality, and with proven researched designs.
