Hi Fella's,
a question regarding these two great quality kites.
Which will have the most lift?
Cheers

I don't know about the Riot but bigger is generally better when it comes to float. I have the Twister IIR 5.6 and it does produce a ton of lift.
Personally, I would not want to be lifted very high on anything smaller than my 5.6, and I'm a lightweight. When I do want to make small jumps my
preferred kite is actually my Viper S 6.8 which is not designed to be a lifty kite. What I'm saying is, as you know, any kite in the right conditions
can produce lift. Depending on how much you weigh, it is more important to get the right size kite float wise, than lift wise. Just my two cents...

The Riot is a great kite... my 1st - gone now
Might be a little long in the tooth now. They haven't been made for a long time now.
Lift... they might be equals in that department.

I have a Twister 7.7 and it is an absolute tank. The lift is pretty nuts and it takes very specific conditions to fly it. (I live where the wind is
pretty gusty) The float is also really nice and it has always set me down gently. It is alot of kite though....I have not flown the 5.6 but I can
tell you that the twister 7.7 lifts hard!

I have to put my money on the Twister II . It is designed as a lifty kite in purpose.
The Riot is much older and I am not sure lift was the focus when it was built? While Ozone is a leader in technology the newer twister is likely to be
better designed towards jumping ? Perhaps not quite as well built.
A had a 7.7 Twister II but no experience with 5.6
Why do you ask in the first place?

Twister II R
7.7... float city. 5.6 is more popular
