Thinking of getting a new NOVA wing? Need real world pricing? Trading in your old wing or harness?Get in touch with us! The VORTEX is the lightweight champion in the EN-C 2-liner class. It excels in everything that defines efficient XC flying: high performance combined with minimal pilot workload. Performance meets simplicity. The handling is optimized for efficient climbing, while the low mass of the wing is a noticeable advantage. The result is a glider that effortlessly takes advantage of even the slightest lift with flat turns and minimal sink rate, while also centering easily in tight and strong thermals. Efficient B-Control. The B-control system is the most direct NOVA has ever achieved. Even small inputs of a few millimeters allow precise directional adjustments. Pitch control is highly effective, and the pressure on the rear risers enables you to rest your arms on long glides without slowing the glider down. The uncomplicated companion. The VORTEX was designed not only for high real-world performance but also for practical usability. From easy launch characteristics to packing convenience, every detail was considered. Nitinol rods at the leading edge are more resistant to bending, allowing the glider to be packed smaller. The VORTEX comes standard with the Concertina Bag Light, but you can also use a regular inner bag. With its ultralight construction, the VORTEX weighs just 3.1 kg in size XXXS (55-75 kg take-off weight), making it one of the lightest in its class. Please note: due to the two-liner design of the VORTEX, the B3 stall is an effective descent technique, but classic big ears also work perfectly. Efficient right down to the risers. The risers of the VORTEX are very manageable and are made of 7 mm wide, Kevlar-reinforced webbing.The Height-Adjustable B-Handles (HAB-Handles) are known from the XENON: They are made of carbon and can be height-adjusted to five levels. This allows you to optimally adjust the position of the handles to your size and harness geometry. The individual adjustment of the B-handles enables more effective glider control in accelerated flight. The VORTEX (EN C/LTF D) is aimed at XC pilots with a passion for hike-and-fly who want to experience the extraordinary performance and high safety of an EN-C two-liner. Pilots with significant experience in the high-B segment, such as those comfortable with the MENTOR 7, will quickly adapt to the VORTEX. It is an accessible and easy-to-handle 2-liner glider. Red Bull X-Alps Athlete Aaron Durogati: "First flights on the production version of the Vortex were amazing! Been flying the first prototype since last spring, and it was my go-to wing for my Pakistan project in the summer. The final version? Super compact, insanely easy to fly—perfect for combos and cross-country. A wing that lets you focus on the flight, not the flying, with killer performance for its class!"
