The New Generation of Freestyle
The NRG III is a new reflex-freestyle concept. It is our first reflex wing combining SAP reinforced Shark Nose and a foldable (zipped) Mohawk, it delivers a wide range of use:
Freestyle – playful, energetic handling when you want it
XC – stable, fast, safe flying when you need it.
Built for pilots who demand both adrenaline and versatility. With crisp, precise handling, outstanding stability, and surprising comfort, it’s the perfect companion for everything from dynamic freestyle sessions to long XC adventures.
Its key innovation is the Zipped Mohawk system.
Closed Mohawk: unlock an ultra-dynamic wing, with lightning-fast reactions and full of energy.
Open Mohawk: enjoy a more damped yet lively wing, tuned for XC efficiency and stability – perfect for long flights with friends, while still letting you throw in wing-overs and adrenaline packed fun along the way.
Available in three sizes – each designed for the perfect balance of speed, agility, and comfort. Whatever your style, one thing is guaranteed: the NRG III will put a huge smile on your face.
Characteristics
TAKE OFF
Slower speed than you would expect for such a wing. All thanks to new highly efficient shark nose reflex profile.
LANDING
Full of energy, you can squeeze out a nice long skid or flare to a stand still.
HANDLING
Wooof… so sweet.
You have to try it to understand, Hard to go back to other wings.
PERFORMANCE
The shark nose profile supported by SAP technology generates a much more efficient wing than ever before, but does not compromise on safety.
THE NRG profile is more power hungry than other XC wings, but in turn delivers uncompromising stability and comfort even in the most turbulent conditions.
PILOT FEEDBACK
“Very impressed by the top speed, especially taking into consideration the slow take-off. This was unexpected!
With the Mohawk closed it is a super hot wing!
Great job guys – put me down for one of each size ASAP”
CONSTRUCTION
According to Apco’s legendary tradition for durability – the construction of the wing is bullet proof! Extremely durable cloth combined with proven construction designed to withstand years of use.
NRG III
A wing with true innovation that raised excitement with any pilot who had a chance to fly it. It delivers more range and capability than anything in its class, and won’t disappoint:
Pure freestyle adrenaline when you want it, and rock-solid high speed when you need it.
CONSTRUCTION
APCO is traditionally known for using materials and building techniques which offer double and triple lifespan over the expected. The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions.
The NRG III wing uses the same long lasting cloth as on previous APCO wings. This is to guarantee its integrity for entire expanded lifespan of the wing. Nevertheless we significantly reduced the weight of the wing thanks to advanced solutions applied, without compromising on any of APCO’s legendary durability.
The top surface utilizes our double siliconized cloth – top front is critical area in terms of porosity as this is where most of the lift is generated. The bottom surface has been upgraded to a lightweight 27 gr. material with an advanced ripstop arrangement which saves additional weight.
The ribs are separated into supported and unsupported ribs, with lightweight material on unsupported ribs for additional weight saving. The lines are a mix of different materials in different positions, to optimize to the fullest the diameter/strength according to the required load.
The top lines are our life-time warranted embedded hook in points made from Dyneema fiber.
The rest of the lines are sheathed for extra durability and ease of use. Material used is Kevlar for its stability and resistance to elastic changes in length.
The bottom section of the brake lines is made of Dyneema because of its better mechanical properties. The Karabiners that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
