Right the above post was the potted answer, now I will put a bit more meat on the bones, too much detail above would have only confused things.
The exp was the first Rev 1.5, (1.5 referring to the size of the kite). The exp is spared in ¼ inch carbon fibre tube.
Some time later Rev brought out an upmarket version the sle (Super Leading Edge) with a stiffer ½ inch leading edge a more complex sail pattern and I believe better quality sail material. As I said above it now comes in three versions each with different weight spars, Std, Vented and sul, though the sul by necessity only has a ¼ inch leading edge to keep the weight down. The problem with the sle is that most experienced pilots actually prefer the more flexible ¼ inch leading edge as it tends to absorb inertia better.
This is where the “B” series comes into it’s own. All “B” series kites come with the ¼ inch leading edges.
