The 2023 Unit ushers in a new era of wing design. It introduces MOD3, an innovative canopy that revolutionizes the game!
They provide positive lift, making tacks a breeze and jumps even more exciting. With a segmented leading edge and optimized panel layout, the canopy maintains tension and twist, ensuring positive lift even in gusty conditions.
For precise control, they feature rigid handles. This unique lightweight handle solution offers the comfort and control of a boom, with direct steering and a generous grip range of 26cm per handle.
The tight canopy tension and finely tuned wingspan contribute to enhanced drift stability, improved power generation, increased lift, and longer hang time during jumps.
Surfing on the front handle feels neutral and effortless, with improved drift stability.
