Choose the A-Wing XPS Mk II if you want one wing that does it all.

The A-Wing XPS Mk II is built for versatility. It is the wing you reach for when you want easy handling, strong stability and dependable performance across a wide range of conditions.

It suits riders who enjoy a mix of freeride, freestyle, wave riding and local racing. The lower aspect airframe gives the wing a stable, comfortable feel, especially in gusty or stronger wind, making it easy to manage through transitions, tacks, gybes and powered riding.

With the Dyna Link handle system, riders can choose between carbon handles or a boom, giving more flexibility in setup and feel.

The A-Wing XPS Mk II is the best choice if you want a wing that feels intuitive, reliable and ready for almost any session.

 

Choose the X-Wing if you want more speed and efficiency.

The X-Wing sits above the A-Wing XPS Mk II in the range and is designed for riders who want to go faster, glide further and ride with more efficiency.

The higher aspect design, reduced leading edge diameter and Ultra PE X-Ply airframe create a lighter, faster feel in hand. It builds speed smoothly, generates apparent wind efficiently and maintains glide with less input from the rider.

This makes it ideal for freeride and powered riding, especially for riders who want a more refined, performance driven wing. 

The X-Wing is not about replacing the XPS Mk II. It is about adding a higher performance option to the range for riders who want to push their riding further. How they fit together in your quiver.

For many riders, the XPS Mk II will be the foundation of the quiver. It covers the widest range of conditions and gives a stable, familiar feel when the wind is changing or the session is more varied.
