As requested some insights on the changes from a ’20 to ’21 Dice. In short it has been on a diet. But not on a very serious one. No differences in her food. No new materials – like Aluula – but just a bit less off everything gets its 4% or 115 grams reduction from the 2020 version. We did ride our favourite kite already. But in pretty sketchy conditions. Not suitable for testing it back to back. But the first clews that -although a lot- not much really significantly has changed. And why should you? If we were Ralf Grosel, the designer, we would also be very careful to alter the Dice. The feeling -like a hot knife cutting through butter- is just brilliant. So quick. So snappy. And so smooth. The only question is if the knife did get any hotter. More on that later. For now just a break down of it’s diet.
1: A smaller bag – Origami experts needed!
2: Less stiches. – A lot. Every gram counts!
3: No more 5th line pocket and just one loop.
4: Smaller protections – From tough to normal? Or from normal to sensitive?
5: Thinner lines – Also suited for fishing?
6: 7 psi…A “6” needs more ink?
