I have just got fitted the RED bridle to the Slingshot Link and am loning it. Coming from a SS Octane 14m the Link 12m in 4line Red mode is awesome.

Great work SS with the new bridle, coz now I love this kite!

I also have the red bridle fitted. What an increase in low wind performance!

I used to have to wait until the wind hit 15ish knots with the old set up cause the bugger just didn't want to fly.

It now doesn't luff in low winds and I'm out there earlier that the rest.

Used to hate it in the original 4 line set up but when I changed to the 5th line, I started to enjoy it more and more, especially in big winds (25 to 30knots). I can't get enough with the new set up.

I can't wait to try the red bridle out in similar big wind conditions

Respect to Slingshot for getting their **** together and sending the red bridle FREE to all link riders! Gotta love it!

Hey fellow Link lovers,
I was one of the lucky one's that was happy with the grey bridles from the start.
I've now go red bridles on 10.5, 12, & 15.
10.5 and 12 are sweet but the big boy still seems real slow and the bottom end hasn't improved.(4 line)
I'm not a real lover of 5th line but will try if anyone reckons the bottom end will improve?
OR
is there any adjustments on 4 line to I'm prove bottom end, not after high end performance. (Already have great light wind board).

Try moving up a knot on the front lines, you could be oversheeting it. I don't have a 15m, but I was doing that with the 12m with the depower totally off.
