Less is more.
The Dyna-Link design is strong, simple, and highly functional without any added fluff. It lacks added wear points like tracks, hardware, or plastic and instead opts for carbon fiber handle towers that link to the strut by hooking into super strong Dyneema anchor loops. Attached or removed when the strut is deflated, the handles lock solidly into place once the strut inflates to pressure. Note: The Mk II’s strut is now a different pressure than the leading edge.
Highly curated.
Armstrong have chosen Teijin D3 Technoforce because it feels great in flight, maintains its tension over time, and limits wear to a minimum. DLE 130 reinforcement panels further protect the canopy and boost the wing’s longevity. Prior to assembly, Armstrong rigorously inspect each piece of canopy material to ensure only the very best selection makes it into their wings.
Inspired from the performance sailing world and innovated by Armstrong in winging, the Cross Panel Sail (XPS) design provides an outstanding connected feel to the wing when riding. By arranging the individual canopy panels at specific angles that best suit load distribution across each panel, this panel layout greatly reduces sail distortion, improves frame rigidity, and packs in more power.
Shaped for efficiency.
Pre-twist in the airframe allows the XPS Mk II to achieve its optimal shape when riding, meaning a more efficient airfoil section when it matters. And the slight “double bend” in the strut contributes to efficiency upwind by setting up your arms at the best angle, further reducing muscle fatigue for a more comfortable ride.
