Next generation performance, power and control
Whether you’re free flying, wave riding or freestyle, the all new ARMSTRONG A-Wing XPS delivers next generation performance, power and control for all riding styles. Armstrong recruited the world’s leading wing and kite designers to push this shape to the next level.
Each aspect of the new ARMSTRONG A-Wing XPS was tirelessly thought out, tested and finely tuned in a wide range of riding conditions.
Features
An innovative cross panel sail (XPS) design provides an outstanding level of connection when riding. This futuristic panel layout greatly reduces sail distortion by improving load distribution and frame rigidity. This gives all the wing sizes a very direct and controlled feel for easy and comfortable flying. Removable carbon fibre battens minimise trailing edge flutter and provide easy canopy tuning for varying wind strengths.
The XPS’s airfoil section combined with our pre-twist tip geometry produces incredible speed with sublime upwind performance. This greatly benefits jump amplitude for freestyle manoeuvres and delivers plenty of hang time and float for smooth landings. This wing is also a wave rider’s dream with little to no luffing or sail flutter and excellent stability, allowing the rider to focus less on the wing and more on shredding the wave.
A newly developed hybrid carbon handle (HCH) design has a rigid carbon interior skeleton and soft padded exterior.
This combination offers the best balance of control, comfort and safety. They tested hundreds of individual materials during the development of the XPS and settled on the new generation high quality lightweight Dacron, tried and tested polyester Dacron and Ultra PE woven laminate (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) for key reinforcements. The result is a highly refined combination of materials which delivers impressive strength to weight, durability and overall performance.
The A-Wing XPS comes complete with a carry bag, wrist leash, extra battens and a patch kit.
