Has anyone had a chance to test these 2 kites in the 12m and 8m back to back?

I have spent a fair bit of time on both kites both 12m, i think taboo is way better kite than rpm only thing i absolutely loved bout rpm was kite loops that thing is insane to loop apart from that wasnt a big fan of it, i find taboo is way better unhooked than rpm jumps higher and still loops well but not as punchy as rpm

alot of people use rpm's there a good kite but id choose taboo over it

Thanks Tommy123

How does the wind range compare?
A few people have commented in previous threads about the Taboo having less bottom end, would like to know your thoughts?

Yeah thats true bottom end isnt that great rpm would b better for u in light winds ideally u have more than 1 kite, u have a light wind kite for those days when a 12m isnt enough, i find cause the taboo is super smooth u can handle quite strong winds on it, the rpm is bit more punchy will get u goin in less wind but ull also find urself overpowered quicker

there both good kites demo both which ever feels better for u buy that one

you will be able to ride the rpm up to about 28 knots. rpm has stacks of depower so don`t worry about that. any more than that much wind and you`d want to ride a smaller kite anyway.
i`ve been riding an rpm 12 meter for 10 months now and love it super fast ,loops brilliantly takes no time to pump up [3 struts]. never inverts. yep im a fan.
