Armstrong A-Wing XPS Mk II Wing Foiling Wing
Preorder Now
After two years in development, the new A-Wing XPS Mk II is here. Whether its next level wing surfing, freestyle, or the Wednesday night local race, its all in the cards with the A-Wing XPS Mk II. This evolution of the A-Wing delivers greater stability and upwind speed along with the all-new Dyna-Link handle system for seamless adjustability between carbon handles or a boom. The XPS Mk II is the most versatile wing, re-engineered.
Airframe
Setting the tone for performance. Precisely engineered for stability and upwind speed, the XPS Mk IIs airframe gives it the bandwidth to work with real-world conditions that arent always ideal, so you can focus on your ride and let the wing do its thing.
Outline – Balanced and stable, yet super efficient
This airframe is now lower aspect for increased stability and smoother power delivery across the wind range, especially in the smaller sizes. Leading edge diameter and airfoil section are optimized for a blend of stability in gusts and speedy efficiency upwind, which is a win whether youre sending airs like Cash Berzolla or working out the basics.
Pre Twist – Shaped for efficiency
Pre-twist in the airframe allows the XPS Mk II to achieve its optimal shape when riding, meaning a more efficient airfoil section when it matters. And the slight double bend in the strut contributes to efficiency upwind by setting up your arms at the best angle, further reducing muscle fatigue for a more comfortable ride.
Materials – Made for the real world
Sessions can really do a number on your wing over time, which is why Armstrong have chosen DLE 160 and 130 for the right amount of durability without sacrificing airframe performance.
Canopy
XPS – Cross Panel Sail Design
Inspired from the performance sailing world and innovated by Armstrong in winging, the Cross Panel Sail (XPS) design provides an outstanding connected feel to the wing when riding. By arranging the individual canopy panels at specific angles that best suit load distribution across each panel, this panel layout greatly reduces sail distortion, improves frame rigidity, and packs in more power.
Windows – Safety without compromising performance
Clear TPU windows provide excellent horizontal visibility along the strut for added spatial awareness and safety. Armstrong’s TPU is lightweight, exceptionally clear, and wont yellow or crack over time.
Battens – Minimizing flutter
Removable carbon fiber trailing edge battens minimize canopy flutter and provide easy tuning for varying wind strengths.
Materials – Highly curated.
Armstrong have chosen Teijin D3 Technoforce because it feels great in flight, maintains its tension over time, and limits wear to a minimum. DLE 130 reinforcement panels further protect the canopy and boost the wings longevity. Prior to assembly, Armstrong rigorously inspect each piece of canopy material to ensure only the very best selection makes it into their wings.
Dyna-Link Locking Handle System
Handles – Youve got options
Dyna-Link is an interchangeable strut handle system for the A-Wing XPS. It allows you to choose separate handles or a boom, is quick and easy to assemble with zero hardware, and is pre-positioned so the wing is precisely balanced in flight. Harness loops are stitched into the strut.
Modular – The choice is yours
The A-Wing XPS Mk II is optionable with either newly designed carbon handles, a carbon boom, or Hybrid Carbon Handles. Handle and boom lengths scale S-M-L according to specific wing sizes. Overtop the carbon core is a textured EVA foam exterior thats direct and precise yet comfortable for long sessions.
Grip – Performance is comfortable
The XPS Mk II handles and boom achieve a Goldilocks-like grip by way of a carbon fiber core wrapped in textured EVA. Just the right thickness for feedback and comfort for long sessions. The new carbon handles and carbon boom both have a circular profile carbon core thats made with the same tech that goes into Armstrong carbon foils.
