Armstrong A Wind Wing XPS MKII

Armstrong A-Wing XPS Mk II

Next level power speed

After two years in development, the new Armstrong A-Wing XPS MKII is here

• Canopy the most advanced canopy on the market
• XPS Cross panel sail design
• Power Batten(Lightwind XPS Feature Only)
• Carbon batters minimising flutter
• Windows safety without compromising performance
• Handles ‘you’ve got your options’, Dyna-link providing interchangeability

Whether it’s new whether it’s next level wing surfing, freestyle or the Wednesday night local race, it’s all in the cards with the Armstrong A wing XPS MKII.

This evolution of the A-Wing delivers greatest stability and upwind speed along with all new Dyna-Link handle system for seamless adjustability between carbon handles or a boom.

An industry leading blend of power, efficiency and modularity.

Features:

AIRFRAME:Setting the tone for performance

Precisely engineered stability and upwind speed, the XPS MKII’s airframe gives it the bandwidth to work with real-world conditions that aren’t always ideal, so you can focus on your ride and let the wing do its thing.

MATERIALS–made for the real world

Sessions can really do a number on your wing over time, which is why we have chosen DLE 160 and 130 for the right amount of durability without sacrificing the airframe frame

PRE TWIST DESIGN– Shaped for efficiency

Pre-twist in the air frame enables XPS MkII to achieve it’s optimal shape when riding, creating a more efficient airflow section when it matters. 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

OUTLINE –Balanced and stable yet she super efficient

This airframe is now lower aspect for increased stability and smoother power delivery across the wing range, especially in smaller sizes. The leading edge diameter and airfoil section are optimise for a blend of stability in gusts and speed efficiency upwind

CANOPYThe most advanced canopy on the market.

The XPS Mk IIs canopy is the most advanced wing canopy on the market. Teijin D3 Technoforce materiallaid up in the Cross Panel Sail design make for stunning performance with real-world durability.
XPS –Cross Panel Sail Design: Inspired from the performance sailing world and innovated by Armstrong in winging, the CrossPanel Sail (XPS) design provides an outstanding connected feel to the wing when riding. Byarranging the individual canopy panels at specific angles that best suit load distribution acrosseach panel, this panel layout greatly reduces sail distortion, improves frame rigidity, and packs in
more power.

WINDOWSSafety without compromising performance.

Clear TPU windows provide excellent horizontal visibility along the strut for added spacial awareness and safety. Our TPU is lightweight, exceptionally clear, and wont yellow or crack over time.

BATTENSMinimising flutter.

Removable carbon fiber trailing edge battens minimize canopy flutter and provide easy tuning forvarying wind strengths.

HANDLESYouve got options.

Dyna-Link is an interchangeable strut handle system for the A-Wing XPS. It allows you to chooseseparate handles or a boom, is quick and easy to assemble with zero hardware, and is pre-positioned sothe wing is precisely balanced in flight.

MODULARThe choice is yours.

The A-Wing XPS Mk II is optionable with either newly designed carbon handles, a carbon boom,or Hybrid Carbon Handles. Handle and boom lengths scale S-M-L according to specific wingsizes. The new carbon handles and carbon boom both have a circular profile carbon core thatsmade with the same tech that goes into our carbon foils. Overtop the carbon core is a texturedEVA foam exterior thats direct and precise yet comfortable for long sessions. The Hybrid CarbonHandles maintain the same flatter design and construction found on the first generation XPS, nowintegrated into the Dyna-Link system. Harness loops are stitched into the strut.

DYNA-LINKLess is more.
The Dyna-Link design is strong, simple, and highly functional without any added fluff. It lacksadded wear points like tracks, hardware, or plastic and instead opts for carbon fiber handletowers 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 topressure. Note: The Mk IIs strut is now a different pressure than the leading edge.

PLACEMENTOptimally balanced.

The Dyna-Link anchors are placed on the strut in the most balanced and efficient positions. Noguesswork needed with infinite handle placement options. Anchor placement is tuned every 3wing sizes to maintain consistent balance and feel across all the XPS Mk II wing sizes.

GRIPPerformance is comfortable.
The XPS Mk II handles and boom achieve a Goldilocks-like grip by way of a carbon fiber corewrapped in textured EVA. Just the right thickness for feedback and comfort for long sessions.

All XPS MkIIwings will be shipping with a pair of the standard carbon handles. Booms will be sold as a separate optional extra
