I was just wondering with the wider luff sleeve do the R7's have that same forward pull feel to them as the older models? I've been using some neil pryde evo's lately and they definitely have a different feel about them. It seems like more of a sideways force with the evo's. The evo's also don't seem to respond to depowering by outhaul(upwind) as much as the reflex sails do. The Evo's are definitely awesome in the light to medium stuff and certainly have an edge over the reflex in this area but in powered up conditions I much prefer the reflex I think they are a bit quicker and have a higher wind range. Bear in mind my observations are based around formula sizes not slalom.

Personally i don't think the draft posi has changed much when compared to R6s.
The biggest change this year is the weight.
Very noticeable when jumping from an R6 to R7.

So lighter?

Yup
