MANTIS 2024

All Round Freeride. Wave and Big Air

2 – 2.5 – 3 – 3.5 – 4 – 4.5 – 5 – 6

The Mantis has become synonymous with its outstanding performance range and versatility. Whether in waves. on a downwinder or in races. Whether on lakes or in the surf of the world’s oceans. the Mantis is a powerful all-rounder.The gold standard in wing design has arrived in its 4th generation. The Mantis V4 delivers maximum stability. performance and a pure riding experience. With a focus on optimized power distribution. torsion control and aerodynamics. the Mantis 04 has undergone an evolutionary overhaul. A new arrangement of the panels in the spanwise direction. combined with the stepped TE Load Patch. makes this Mantis the most precise and powerful wing ever.

DESIGN PROFILE

High rigidity LE Inflatable. low dihedral with full powerful profile. medium aspect ratio and convex strut

FEATURES & BENEFITS

MAIN FEATURES

- HIGH QUALITY AND PRECISE WING TENSION – Tight tensioning of the wing cloth allows you to maximize efficiency in every wing session. The Mantis V4 comes with our tightest stringing we have ever used in a wing.- CONVEX STRUT- The convex strut provides a stiff and responsive connection between you and your wing.- CONVEX DIHEDRAL – The convex dihedral extends the range of use of the Mantis by increasing the power to stability ratio. It also provides balanced flight behavior when held on the LE handle.- LOAD PATH- The Load Path Panel layout is designed to mitigate the different loads and strains placed on the wing. This results in a cleaner and more stable wing and allows for use in a wider range of conditions.- SPANWISE PANEL LAYOUT- The new panel layouts that run across the wing help to distribute the load evenly across the span. resulting in better load distribution in key areas of the wing.- 20/20 VIEW – A refined window layout that runs parallel along the strut and is made of weatherproof TPU gives you the best view while riding.TECHNICAL FEATURES- NANO RIPSTOP – A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the design characteristics of the wing are supported by a stable and responsive wing material.- KEYLOCK ANGLED HANDLE ATTACHMENTS – Indexed mounting threads lock the composite handles in place and prevent any rotation at any connection point. The result is our stiffest and most direct handle design yet.- 2X SPIRNT – Two sprint valves connect the convex strut to the LE and allow increased airflow. which helps with both inflation and packing- TE LOAD DISTRIBUTOR – Increases the durability of the wing and robustly supports the distribution of wing tension along the TE. The abrasion-resistant material prevents abrasions while the wing is on land.
