• Rear CFI attachment points - Truly customized kite performance for riding style and conditions. Most rear attachment point translates to less bar pressure, faster turning and easier relaunch. More forward attachment point translates to more pressure and overall kite "feel".

• Open C Kite Design Platform - Blends the best C kite performance characteristics like power, stability, edging**, and control with, bow, hybrid, and delta performance characteristics like depower, range, speed, water relaunchability and boosting. The result is increased usability and ultimate versatility in every condition performance. **The open C platform, is the only bridled kite design that allows depower control at the bar, or by “prying” your kite to the edge of the window like a true C kite. This benefit truly enhances the park and ride flying style used by so many top pro’s.

• Onepump - The original tried and true Slingshot patented single point inflation system.

• Low Profile Wing Tips - The original DNA from the RPM comes from the Fuel. Sweeping the wing tips on a Fuel would be unheard of at Slingshot. In the effort to maintain tradition and be progressive, the RPM was born. The low profile squared off wing tip design gives it decreased wing tip drag, increased turning speed and allows for our enhanced CFI system. The RPM is setting unique trends in kiteboarding all while leading cosmetic trends.

• 3 Strut Design - The RPM is the first kite to break 5 strut design barrier. Its “Open C” canopy design and Full Suspension Bridle create a canopy bridle synergy that liberated our designers need to build structure in the kite with struts. The RPM is the leader in 3 strut design. Its proven benefits include significant weight reduction, an intuitive feel, superior water relaunch and massive boost with increased hang time. There is also a common belief with our pro’s that less struts makes the kite more compact and packable. This makes the RPM the preferred globe trotting kite.

• Surf Tough Seams - Developed by Tony Logosz and equipped standard on all Slingshot performance kites since 2002. Surf Tough seams set the standard for minimizing and containing canopy tears.

• Ballistic Aramid Scuff Guards - Increases durability in key wear point areas.

• Mark Cloth Reinforced Trailing Edge - Increases durability and aerodynamics by reducing flutter on the trailing edge. This allows for a “clean” exit of air from the canopy which reduces drag.

• Ergonomic Onepump Nipple Placement - Reduces aerodynamic drag, eliminates incidental bridle snagging.

• Slingshot Legendary Construction - World renown bomber quality.
