Clever assembly mechanism. Looks a bit weighty, but fine for that sort of thing.

Assembly mechanism looks remarkably similar to that used on the Barnstormers from the 1970s. Same kind of thingy sliding up the spine and pushing the spreaders into position.

Similar to the smaller Decathlon kites too:

Good way of preventing the kite from being assembled incorrectly - now all they need to come up with is self-rewinding linesets to make it really easy ;-)

Nice; more than just a gimmick?
Possibly Eolo's new marketing strategy.I think they have given up trying to push Overs (presumably it is no pushover to push Overs) and Neoxs and have returned to their core business of flogging 'toys',at least,outside of home territory-the Iberian peninsular.
