The use of CamBattens revolutionized our Kite – Technology and we could considerably improve the efficiency over the 2005 test winner kite Rhino 05.

Through the more stable design mainly caused by the CamBattens we've been able to make the canopy profile deeper without loosing the high end performance of its predecessor. And more than that since the canopy is cleaner, the kite has less drag and thus even better speed through the wind window.

Due to the additionally gained profile depth combined with the fuller, more precisely-shaped canopy entry Rhino 06 has more power and therefore provides better hang time and lift.

The unification of excellent high end and low end power in one kite makes the Rhino 06 applicable in a never reached wind range.
