Hi!
In what terms can we compare the turning speed of a sonic with a C-shape kite?
Today I tested the Sonic 8m2 but not with the original GK bar. It was with a Gaastra Vision 45cm bar, and I noticed that the kite turns like a 8/9 m2 C-shape. I think that with the original bar the kite will turn faster...
And the other sizes??
The sonic 14 can be compared in turning speed with what C-shape?
And the Sonic 11?

Good winds,

8m sonic = 8m C (like torch 2 speed)
11m sonic = 12-13m C
14m sonic = 16m C

in terms of turning speed i would say.

Its kind of difficult to say. Sonics have really light bar pressure but require quite alot of steering input to get them to turn, so they really do love long bars. 11m sonic is really good on a 63cm bar, looks kook but makes it alot more fun.

I tryed the sonic 11 with 21 meters lines and the 53cm bar, on 15 to 21 knots of wind, and the kite is fast. It´s like a 10/11 C-shape kite!
