2014 RPM2014 RPM
Top Pros and high performance riders world wide know the secret behind the
RPM. The open C platform allows for fast riding, explosive pop with the correct
amount of boost, travel and drift. This allow for aggressive moves with fast and
solid landings. The new 2014 builds on our proven legacy with a kite that rides
faster, is more responsive, more crisp and more dialed in than ever before.
Through years of testing and rider feedback, we have made new improvements
and subtle refinements to set a new standard for performance and durability. Our
new “Diamond Leech” technology improves air flow for “clean” air release off the
trailing edge. This feature improves aerodynamics, and is a major part of why the
kite is faster, and has a new crisp feel. The Diamond Leech improved the over all
stability of the leach. This significantly helps with wear and tear or flutter. The full
suspension bridle was updated with a new anodized aluminum frictionless
pulley. The refined design reduced weight, and eliminated wear associated with
mechanical pulleys.
We added an 11M kite to our full range of sizes to help you create your
perfect quiver. You can dominate freestyle or hardcore crossover with
the 2014 RPM. FOR COMPLETE USER INFORMATION visit www.slingshotsports.com/support

Today’s riders need to be at the center of
control. Building on 4 consecutive World
Championships, the new Compstick with Flight
Control and our patented Rider Control Center,
is the safest, most comprehensive and intuitive
control system available on the market today.
We focused on the performance of three
individual zones which work together to provide
a world class rider-centric control system. This
new approach takes into account 3 specific areas:
1. Flight Control - Above the Bar 2. Compstick - At the Bar 3. Rider Control Center - Below the Bar
All three critical areas have been optimized
to work in balanced harmony. As a complete
system, the 2014 CompStick blends the critical
elements of safety, kite control, de-power, and
convenience into a rider experience that is
tested, trusted, simple, smooth, and intuitive.

PUSH AWAY CENTER SAFETY
This kite is equipped with an industry standard below the bar push away safety system. With Rider Control Center Technology, the focus is placed on rider safety and convenience.
Connect safety leash to the metal ring with the Guardian Safety System red nylon handle located in the middle of the Chicken loop. Make sure your safety leash is correctly placed with yellow side connected to your harness and not at the bar.
To depower the Kite completely, push away the black and red Guardian release handle. This will allow the kite to fall from the sky depowered. Once kite is de-powered reboot your Push Away Safety System and feed your center flying line through the bar. Once center line is fully tensioned and running clean through the bar you are ready to safely relaunch your kite. Practice engaging safety system is highly recommended.

PUSH AWAY QUICK RELEASE LEASH
To completely disconnect yourself from the kite, firmly grasp the yellow safety handle on the Push Away Quick Release Bungee leash and push away from you in the same direction the arrow indicates. Once released you are fully disconnected from the kite.
