I thought I was done buying Benjamin guns but now I see they are coming out with the Kyro. Well dang it if they aren’t going to get me to buy another one and get some more of my money.
Always kind of liked the looks of those Reximex RP pistols. I’m actually glad to see it’s coming to the USA finally. I really hope they are good.

Are these for sale yet?

That looks like the Reximex Mito which is not sold in the states. And Reximex had been stating Benjamin was going to be their distributor. Looks like Benjamin had them make them a branded "Mito's, just like they had Reximex make them the Craftsmen series for them.

The Reximex RP came out a couple of years ago but yes I agree the Jet does have a some resemblance.

Yes it’s the Reximex RP, or Mito as it’s named and sold in Europe.
No it’s not for sale yet to my knowledge. I’m sure it’ll be six months or better before it is. Not sure if that earthquake in Turkey will have an affect on anything or not.

How is that not some form of copyright infringement on the design? Unless hatsan and reximex/kral/benjamin etc are all one big happy family?

As far as I know Hatsan and Kral/Reximex are not affiliated. Not sure what the laws are in Turkey.
It’s no secret that Kral/Reximex have been involved with Benjamin for a couple years now. Reximex is the sister company of Kral and have been making the Akela/Kratos/Caydan and Gunnar. This Kyro and that Ecko are just the latest they are putting out.

More Turkish guns.... Not that that's a bad thing. But the typical lottery involved is less than exciting. Hatsan is definitely not associated with kral or any other company. The quality of their products is of its own class. One far below anything I've personally seen. Save for maybe some extremely cheap Chinese springers

The Turkey guns aren’t perfect but I’ve really enjoyed my Akela’s. They have been trouble free and seem to shoot good enough for what I want from them.
Never owned anything Hatsan so don’t have any opinion one way or another based on experience but I have avoid Hatsan based on everything I’ve read. My experience with Crosman customer support has been good so I’ll take the chance on the Kral guns.

It appears the Ecko model has a rear bottle and front air tube. I doubt it'll hit that 1000 fps with that length of barrel but I've been surprised before.

The Ecko looks like the Reximex Tormenta.
Bottles for stocks just don’t look right or comfortable to me. Never was interested in Airforce for that reason.

Krals do tend to be much higher quality and much much more likely to work/shoot well/accurately. Though there is still a definite chance they might not, just much much smaller than with a hatsan.

Glad to hear yours has been good to you.

Thanks for posting this however, I can’t find any evidence of it at the Benjamin site.

No. It’s not listed on their website yet but it was listed in the 2023 Catalog. I downloaded the catalog posted a screen shot of the catalog page.
Benjamin might not update their website for months so you have to check in periodically to see if anything got updated.
If past trends continue these new additions probably won’t be available until sometime between June and December.
