The Vista has become a legend in its own time… Now in its 5th generation, it is lighter, cleaner and with all the latest materials & construction technologies incorporated.
Back in 2014, when Vista III was first introduced, it was a groundbreaking wing. An EN B certified true 3 liner (top to bottom), shark nose wing that performs and feels like a well tuned racing car which excels in strong conditions ! It has set a standard for many other competitor models which came after..
The new Vista V is based on the platform of Vista IV and improved on several key points:
Over 700 grams lighter in the M size, but uncompromising materials / durability. This result in better inflation and in-flight characteristics.
Re-Optimised 3D leading edge cut smartly incorporated into the colour design – resulting in a cleaner leading edge, improved top surface layout and tension for better performance.
Risers- Perfect 12 [mm] webbing risers with incredible attention to details. They are super-lightweight at less than 99 gr! Incorporating a unique A5, C5 (Split A, C) line connection method with no Karabiners! Making it cleaner, safer, lighter – smart and elegant. The risers also feature specifically designed ball bearing pulleys allowing for the smoothest speed system operation possible, and now the same brake pulleys are mounted on a custom elasticated tubular webbing.
The Vista V now also sports the Butthole 2, which automatically clears sand and debris from the wingtip trailing edges.
Vista V flight characteristics can be described as a very solid canopy which reassures the pilot with its consistency and pitch damping characteristics.
