Features

• 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.
• CLEAN TENSIONED CANOPY – It’s often said a clean canopy is an efficient one. The V5 is Cabrinha’s cleanest, precisely-tensioned canopy design that they’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 on the Mantis V3 provides a stiffer and more reactive connection between the rider and wing.
• 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.
