It wasn't so long ago that Naish launched a new wing model on the market with the ADX model - which is in the test turned out to be an excellent all-rounder. Now the model is also available in another construction made of Aluula. Aluula?: Aluula is a light and particularly rigid material. If this is used for the construction of the tubes, the result is a stiffer base frame. This also allows the diameter of the tubes to be reduced, which in turn can save weight.
The manufacturer also advertises the Naish ADX NVision with "a lighter, stiffer construction, which leads to a more direct ride and higher efficiency in all manoeuvres". To ensure that the wing also meets the durability requirements, Naish claims to have used a canopy material called "50D Nano Ripstop", which should score points with the lowest possible stretch and high tear resistance. The manufacturer also claims to have succeeded in reducing the weight of the handle system by using lighter carbon handles - all in all, this should make the Wing significantly more agile and responsive than standard models. The Wing will be available from March 2024 in 3.0/3.5/4.0/4.5/5.0/5.5/6.0 and 7.0 square metre sizes. However, as with other brands, Naish's lightweight construction also comes at a price - depending on the size, the ADX NVision will cost between 1699 and 2499 euros.
Whether the new Naish ADX NVision delivers what it promises, you will soon find out here on the website - a test model has already arrived.
