DETAILS

The Mantis V2 is the next evolutionary leap in wing design. Big steps have been taken to further develop the popular Mantis platform to optimize use through the whole range.

The original Mantis set a benchmark with regards to leading edge rigidity, and this year it has been even further refined, culminating in an ultra-rigid frame and refined profile. Combined with a pretensioned canopy, this gives a crisp, high-performing product that maintains its performance through a wider range of conditions.

Refined sizing and wingspans allow for more progressive power in the small sizes, while the wingtip shape adjustment helps deflect water during start up, and also allows for deeper profiles to aid in power delivery.

The Mantis V2 showcases Cabrinha’s forward driving wing program and puts the ultimate in technology and efficiency into your hands to maximize water time and performance.

 

FEATURES

HIGH CENTRE LE DIAMETER

Increased centre diameter to the leading edge, as well as a progressive taper provides not only improved stiffness, but also increased canopy tension.

HD LARGE DIAMETER CLOSING SEAM

A larger stiffer diameter LE requires an updated closing seam contribution to withstand the unique forces that winging provides.

BALANCED DIHEDRAL

Many prototypes allowed us to arrive with the balanced dihedral on the Mantis V2. This gives a great blend of power to stability ratio.

HIGHLY RIGID STRUT

A single highly rigid strut allows for a lower weight and predictable depower when on a wave.

ENHANCED RANGE

Through the updated shape and dihedral, the Mantis V2 has an increased power range which covers a larger spectrum of conditions.

REFINED WINGTIPS

A change in the wingtip shape not only aids in canopy control and stability, but also reduces the chance of a wing tip catch when getting up and pumping.

 

MAC’s take: 

Stemming from the success of the V1 Mantis wing, the V2 has made significant improvements on its predecessor. Rigidity is the name of the game with this wing and a pretensioned canopy adds to the stiffness. With a refined wingtip shape, you’re able to start much more efficiently and not worry about getting the wing stuck in the water during that critical moment of getting up on foil. 

Power delivery has been improved through the stiffness of the canopy and the shape adjustment, even in the smaller sizes. With sizeable windows, you’ll have plenty of visibility to avoid all of those pesky jet skiers.

WIDESPAN HANDLES

Ergonomic widespan handle layout for micro adjustment/trim

WINDOWS

Sit back and enjoy the view with perfect vision. When spots are busy with other water users, the extended vision greatly impacts the safety of you and others.

NANO RIPSTOP

A higher level of performance can only be achieved when the wings’s design properties are supported by a stable and reactive wing material. Nano Ripstop does just that.
