Our new STRIKEfeatures once more asuperintuitive pumping with a certain flexibility that makes it easy to start planing without having to expend a lot of energy orlearn aspecial technique.This STRIKE responds to pumping with immediate power.
We've worked on the wing's balance and aerodynamics to ensure exceptionaland superiorperformance, while maintaining control andprecision.
This new STRIKE offers an unrivalledsmoothness of traction that makes it possible to ride effortlessly, as if usinga smaller, verylight wing.The STRIKE's control throughout the wind range is impressive, allowing you to easilyhandlegusts.
For those who love speed,thewingprovides a new "Going Forward” feeling that unlocks thanks toan impressive
forward traction delivering fantastic horizontal acceleration.
In the low end,itnever seems to suffer from air holes orheading winds, maintain ingaconstantglide and exceptional upwind abilities.
Thanks to its stiffness, accelerations, and massive pop and hangtime, the STRIKE willalsohave you hooked on freestyle.
For your rotations, the wing turns easily on its own, allowingyou to land all your tricks and try out new ones.
This STRIKE is much more than a new model; it's a perfect blend of performance, alightweight feel and smooth traction.Design:
The design of the STRIKE has been entirely revised.
The central strut isnowcompletelystraight,which allows us to better control its deformation and possible twisting, whilereducing drag.
As a result, the infillis a bitlowerand deforms less, and we've extended italmost all the way to the back.Our innovative Load Diffuseris reduced for weight gain,especially during freefly.We've also added dihedral angle to improve stability and keep the wingtips out of the waterwhen pumping and riding.
The new leading and trailing edge tensions as well as a refinedradial cuthelp keep the profile smooth and stable for incredible performance and control.
The accurate panel layout, precise load management and staggered seams continue to bringexceptional control of the profile, especially in the high end.
The use of HITEX on theinflatable structure and TECHNOFORCE™/D2 on the canopy offer great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances.
The materials arealsoperfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weightdistribution ineach specificarea.Small radial cuts are implemented on the wingtips and on the back of the strut to spreadtensions.
Aligning the fibreexactly along the load paths means that stretch can be controlledto a never-before-seen level on a wing.
Located on the back of the strut, our Load Diffusermade of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintaining the profilesleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.Thanks to this Sail Engineering and design work, the new STRIKE is an ideal compromise ofperformance, control, and smoothness.
The wing feels stiff enoughforanyriderto performand stay in control, butremainsat the sametime very progressive,offering a gentle and swiftforward traction.
Handles:
