SlingWing V4, Carry Backpack, Patch Kit, SlingGrip-Click Connect Handles
Balance, power, stability, and ease of use are the hallmark traits of the SlingWing V4's all-new high-tension canopy design. This revolutionary design enhances all elements of our flagship wing. Refinements in new materials, leading-edge design, and our high-tension canopy profile make theSlingWing V4 more balanced and easier to fly. This wing excels across all performance metrics no matter how or where you use it. Exclusive to Slingshot, it features the new SlingGrip EVA with a Click Connect handle system. The elevated pistol grip front handle delivers greater control when luffing or switching hands. These handles come on and off with a click, which makes packing for travel more compact. Soft or carbon handles can be purchased separately.
A strategically calculated taper from the center of the LE wing to the wing tips, the True Tension Airframe delivers our new revolutionary high tension canopy medium span wing design. Offering superior balance and handing with best-in- class flex characteristics. Stiff in the front and transitioning to softer at the wing tips, the TrueTaper Airframe keeps the first third of the canopy structure smooth rigid for on-demand power while allowing wing tip twist off in gusty conditions or flag out and surf with total control.
Utilized throughout the SlingWing V4’s airframe, this high-tenacity polyester features biaxial gridding and extensive emulsion coating, eliminating stretch in all directions while providing a more balanced feel, better power control, and stable, effortless luffing while surfing. The stiffness of FrameLite’s unique 2x2 weave structure significantly reduces elongation of the airframe and increases multi- season durability. At 160 grams per square meter, FrameLite uncompromisingly offers the optimum balance of flex, strength, stiffness, and weight.
With its hybrid canted strut design, VersaStrut works in conjunction with HGrid Rigid Canopy Construction to control our high-tension canopy profile. It allows for less in-fill wall connection in the mid-section and direct strut-to-canopy connection toward the trailing edge. The canted forward section of the strut moves the wing further from the rider, which creates significant dampening and takes any slack out of rider input. Connecting the strut directly to the rear of the canopy yields a more direct and rapid response when pumping and distributes loads uniformly into the canopy.
