Description

With its emphasis on power distribution, torsion control and cleanliness, the Mantis 04 marks the most significant step in the evolution of this iconic wing.

The new spanwise panel layout, combined with the gradual distribution of TE loads, makes this the cleanest, highest-performing wing to date. 

DESIGN PROFILE  

High-rigidity, low-dihedral inflatable LE profile with powerful profile, medium aspect ratio and convex shroud.

NEW: fully rigid, high-performance LE handle with anti-abrasion patch. 

HTD: High-tenacity Dacron for better dihedral stability and handling. 

Nano Ripstop sail, the benchmark for durability, stability and responsiveness. 

Sprint 3.0 and deflation valve 

Durable TPU bumpers 

KEY FEATURES 

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

CONVEX STRUT- The Convex support strut provides a rigid, responsive connection between pilot and wing. 

CONVEX DIHEDRAL- The convex dihedral extends the range of the Mantis, increasing the power/stability ratio. 

LOAD PATH- The Load Path panel layout has been carefully designed to attenuate the variations in load and aspect ratio that occur on the wings, resulting in a cleaner, more structural product in a wider range of conditions. 

SPANWISE PANEL ARRANGEMENT- The cross-wing panel arrangement distributes the load evenly across the entire wing, resulting in better load distribution in key areas of the wing. 

VISION 20/20 - A refined window arrangement, parallel to the strut, in weather-resistant TPU, offers improved visibility when flying. 

TECHNICAL POINTS 

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

Keylock Angled handle attachments - Indexed attachment points lock the composite handles, eliminating rotation at each connection point. The result is the most rigid and straightforward handle design to date. 

2x Sprint - Two sprint valves connect the convex spacer to the leading edge to increase air flow and facilitate inflation and folding. 

The TE load distributor increases the wing's durability while distributing the wing's tension over the trailing edge. Abrasive material prevents scratches when the wing is resting on the ground.
