The Aura X scored highly in the test Already recognised as one of the lightest and most balanced wings, manufacturer Vayu is now launching its successor, the Aura X II. The first version was already extremely light at 2.25 kilos in size 5.0 - but Vayu claims to have reduced the weight even further by using a lighter bladder in the front tube. The individual segments of the tube are also said to have been rearranged in order to optimise stiffness and durability. High-quality materials called Aluula Aeris and Aeris Xwhich offer the best durability-to-weight ratio.
The option of using all available grip systems has been retained. The Vayu Aura X II comes with fixed grips and soft handles as standard, but it is also possible to quickly switch to a continuous boom - although this must be purchased separately. The Aura X II will be available in the sizes 3.5/4.0/4.5/5.0/5.5 and 6.0 as well as in two light wind versions with 6.5 and 7.5 square metres. Depending on the size, the Wing will cost between 1549 and 2099 euros.
