The new Rebel has a new canopy shape. The wide wing is changed in a rounder shape that lean more on the front lines.
These canopy & leading edge changes gives the 2017 Rebel a totally different kite feel. It's not the same kite anymore! Good / Bad? Please test before you buy and see If you like the new shape! For me the new round kite shape is less interesting. Miss the wing, that famous floaty Rebel feel that was tweaked into perfection.
Yes I am a bit disappointment, can't see the practical line in this new product. Probably it will take a serie to tweak the new Rebel. If its good? Again. the best way to find out is to test the new Rebel and feel if it has the characteristics you're looking for.
