There are green mk2 rapids on EBay now, but doesn't mention space saver frame?

Those have always been called the mk2 rapide in green. I have bought both mk2 rapide (sent back due to issues) and a dpm. Cyprinus have confirmed there is no green brolly with space saver on the horizon.

The world's gone mad. I bought a Cyprinus fast n light a few weeks ago, suitably impressed. Went to buy the over wrap in dpm in time for Spring and just found someone on eBay selling the Aqua ones cheaper than the Cyprinus ones, £30 cheaper. £100 delivered. Happy days

Might have been a small retailer with a just a couple for sale at £100 as they've now vanished. New listing today for the Aqua f&l dpm wrap that someone offering at £111.99 delivered !! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AQUA-FAST-LIGHT-OVERWRAP-CAMO-402113/192270006859?epid=2256076212&hash=item2cc42f7a4b:g:yycAAOSwIwJZiHwy

Good luck getting that pal 🙁 it's from fishing republic, from what's been said on here they've gone down the pan 👎🏻 Been loads of people still waiting for their Black Friday deals to still be delivered.

Sorry to bring this up again but could someone explain. So the Rapide mk2 and the Helios are the same as each other, other than the fact the Rapide is camo and has the space saver thing? Are they the same shape?
Is the space saver just a headroom thing?

I think you meant the Helios is camo and has the space saver....

I have the same questions though - along with is the Helios worth an extra £50???

Rapide is the same as the mk1 fast and light and is the one I posted pics of. It does not have the space saver frame.

The camo helios is the same as a mk2 fast and light and does have the space saver.

Whether it's worth the extra is a personal choice. I only use mine for days only and I'm hobbit sized so no issue for me. I guess in the rapide, if the weather was dodgy and you had to pull it really low then the center boss might be an issue if you had a bedchair underneath and wanted to sit in the middle.

Cheers lads. Messaged Cyprinus on Facebook and they said it's only really the space saver thing that's different (and the colour obviously). Think I'm going for the understated version, ironically the camo seems a bit conspicuous

I know what u mean. I have the rapide in green and the dpm4 which is obviously camo. I think the dpm4 is great for the money but I'd like it a hell of a lot more if it was in aqua green instead.
Are you sure?
