Someone already has a ride on it ? I will be interested about the difference with 2013 model particularly about the bar pressure on bar .

Thanks

I reckon the kite felt practically the same as 2013. I could not notice much difference but the shape it looked in the air, and didn't like the orange/white color scheme.
I was on a 12m in a gusty westerly and i was able to ride the same as I did with my previous Vegas

Finally you shose Vegas last year ? i ve tried the 9m 2013 and felt it a bit heavy....how is the 12m, not too hard on bar ?

Vegas is refined quite a bit this year.

Biggest change is the completely new trailing edge. The balance has been changed by halving the width of dacron in trailing edge with increased tension. On the 2013 Vegas there was a bit of trailing edge flutter after heavy use. This has been changed due to the new trailing edge on the 2014 Vegas. The double draw tension has been increased by 120%.

I felt like kite had more pop than 2013.
The 14m is improved (lighter on bar and more responsive). Also there is a 13m now in the line up as well.

go test one. they be here in September at your local dealer

Only the 14m is lighter and more responsive ???

someone know anything about the 13, or tested it allready? more like the 12 or 14? whould be nice for to choose the range...

can`t decide between 7/10/13 or 7/9/12...

I have 7/9/12 in 2013 vegas's and I reckon it's a good transition.
The 12 has an awesome range, I have ridden it from 12-30+ knots, different boards of coarse and a little uncomfortable in 30 but I still had control.
The 9 I rode yesterday in 25-35knots but ran the short rear line setting and was pretty comfortable but I wanted the 7m just because it was very gusty.

I was reading somewhere that the biggest change to the 2014 vegas is actually in the handling of the smaller 6/7/9 sized kites, which has been improved significantly.
