Materials

• Ultra-X Exclusive Canopy: The new three-layer Ultra-X laminate weighs only 86 g/m² while offering four times the durability of traditional woven canopies. Its low-stretch properties ensure long-lasting performance and immediate response to rider input. (More info about the Ultra-X in our latest interview with Clinton Filen, FreeWing Design Director).

Shape

• Progressive Load Frame Structure: The leading edge is built with a dual-grade high-tenacity Dacron frame, combining HD 260 Dacron in the center with 160 g Dacron on the outer sections. This construction increases stiffness and stability, optimizing the wing’s performance in varied conditions.
• Optimized Geometry: Featuring a mid-aspect ratio and a short center strut, the FreeWing AIR V5 offers a compact power balance. This design improves maneuverability, making jibes and tacks effortless while ensuring excellent drift stability when depowered.

• Enhanced Center Strut Connection: The tapered center strut features a wide, reinforced connection at its base, creating a stiffer overall structure. This design enhances pumping efficiency, acceleration, and top-end speed.
• 12.5-Degree Dihedral Leading Edge: This design generates additional power when sheeting in and provides unique stability when the wing is in a neutral position.

Equipments

• Pre-Preg Carbon Boom with Pistol Grip: The V5 features an ultra-light, pre-preg carbon boom optimized for strength-to-weight ratio. It has a minimized 23 mm diameter thickness with a unique soft-touch oval EVA grip. At just 345 grams, it sets a benchmark in performance, control, and comfort. The boom is 109 cm long and can remain attached inside the FreeWing bag for easy transport.

• Longer battens : The longer battens remove all flutter regardless of wind strength, providing an silent and comfortable riding experience
• Optimized Window Placement: The windows are strategically positioned to maintain optimal visibility while reducing unnecessary weight and bulk.

• Flagging handle : The new flagging handle is light and stiff for the ultimate control when flagging the wing.
• One pack wing bag : The vented bag accommodates the wing, a pump, accessories and the 109 cm long boom, taht you can keep attached to the wing. It’s equipped with a carry handle, shoulder strap, an outside zipper pocket and tie-down strap. One of the strongest bags on the market, made from Waste2Wear recycled plastic bottles.

Light wind – three strut design

Available for the 7m² and 8m², the three strut configuration stabilizes the additional area in the wingtips and allows adding more surface into a given wingspan to create a lower aspect wing. Additionally, the wingtip struts stabilize the canopy for increased top-end speed.

Sizes

The FreeWing Air V5 is available in sizes from 2.5m² to 8m², allowing you to sail from 5 knots up to +26 knots, and in two colors: red or blue.
