WHO IS THE ADX FOR?

For those who don’t know, the ADX is our high performance all-around free ride/free race wing. The design of the ADX is a higher aspect wing, with a good amount of dihedral, making it very efficient through the wind and providing a nice balance between top end performance and ease of use. Since the first version of the ADX came out, we have been working to improve and refine the range, adjusting it to the design of the market.

THE SECOND GENERATION ADX

We had three main targets for the second generation of the ADX; A more stable and consistent power delivery, improved long term canopy tension, and more stability when flagged out riding waves. The toughest part of the development process was to gain everything at once. Often times we would target one variable and that would have a negative effect on something we had just fixed. It was only through lots of prototypes that we were able to achieve the final result that we were looking for.
