Say hello to new ART v2 sizes: the ART v2 1099 & ART v2 819.
We’ve all heard something about the incredible performance characteristics of the original M1, now the range updated the M1 and has also been extended to include the M1-X and M1-L.
The original PNG 1300, introduced in 2020, was a groundbreaking foil, with its impressive 1300mm wingspan and a high aspect ratio of 9.94; a foil that is not only large in surface area but also remarkably efficient and fast; a foil way ahead of its time and extremely popular in the recent seasons.
The AXIS Fireball front wings are our highest-performance foils to date. They’re very easy to use, with better stability across a much broader (and higher) speed range than AXIS have ever achieved before.
The AXIS ART v2 is a brand-new foil series that sits between the AXIS Spitfire and ART PRO wing ranges, offering the perfect blend of the Spitfire’s powerful smooth carving, and theART PRO’s low-drag glide and speed.
