RRD lines: the revolution is called ‘Rigid Thread Lines’
KS_The lines are produced in Italy,
and surely, this is a choice in favour of
quality. Who are your developers and
who are the manufacturers?
Werther develops every aspect, whereas
in relation to the manufacturing all I can
say is that it is internal to the RRD factory.
KS_What are the benefits of these lines
in radical conditions, for instance during
kiteloops at the King of the Air?
In relation to that I wouldn't say there
are that many differences in terms of
performance compared to other lines on
the market. Let's say that the rider may
experience a more direct feeling with the
kite than with other bars because our
lines have a very reduced stretch therefore
a more immediate and precise response
of the kite to the movements on
the bar. The benefits are really the result
of a personal appreciation. What's sure
is that those who ride in radical conditions
won't need to check whether the
lines have stretched or broke after each
session because this is absolutely unlikely.
