MANTIS

All Round Freeride, Wave and Big Air

2 / 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4 / 4.5 / 5 / 6

The gold standard in winging is back with its 4th generation design. Crafted for those who demand the best, the Mantis V4 is the pinnacle of stability, power and feel.

With a focus being made towards power distribution and torsional control and cleanliness, the 04 Mantis marks the biggest evolutionary step for this iconic wing. The new spanwise load path panel layout, combined with the graduated TE load patch, make this the cleanest and highest performing Mantis to date.

KEY FEATURES

• CLEAN TENSIONED CANOPY- It's often said a clean canopy is an efficient one. The V4 is Cabrinha's cleanest, precisely tensioned canopy design we've ever created. This translation of design to simple on-demand power has led to its ever-growing popularity in the wing market.

• CONVEX STRUT- The Convex support strut provides a stiff and reactive connection between the rider and wing.

• CONVEX DIHEDRAL- Convex Dihedral helps expand the range of the Mantis by providing an increased power to stability ratio. It also creates more steering stability of the wing while flying by the handle on a wave

• LOAD PATH- The Load Path Panel Layout has been carefully designed to help mitigate the varying loads and elongation that occur on wings, translating into a cleaner and more structural product in a wider range of conditions.

• SPANWISE PANEL LAYOUT- Panel layouts running across the wing help distribute load equally throughout the canopy leading to a better distribution of load in key areas across the wing.

• 20/20 VISION- A refined window layout, running parallel alongside the strut, made from weather resistant TPU provides increased visibility when riding.

TECHNICAL POINTS

• Nano Ripstop - A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the wing's design properties are supported by a stable and reactive wing material.

• Keylock Angled handle attachments - Indexing attachment points lock down the composite handles eliminating any rotation at each connection point. The culmination is the most rigid, direct handle design to date.

• 2x Sprint - Two sprint valves connect the convex strut to the Leading edge allowing for increased airflow to aid in both inflation and pack down.

• TE load distributor increases wing durability while robustly helps distribute wing tension throughout the Trailing Edge. The abrasive material stops scuffing while the wing rests on land.
