SIC RAPTOR 7.0 WING

“The SIC Raptor Wing was developed and tested in collaboration with our sister company CORE Kiteboarding, one of the world leaders in kite design and technology.

The Raptor Wing incorporates a whole range of exclusive materials developed by CORE Kiteboarding and provided to SIC. These include:

The ultra-stiff, non-stretch ExoTex® Dacron used for the inflatable front tube. The unique thread structure and a protective coating allow for higher pressure in the front tube and significantly increase its stiffness. The non-stretch Dacron improves airflow, flight stability and prevents the seam from bulging at the leading edge.

The CORETEX® TRIPLE RIPSTOP material used to make the wing’s fabric.

The industry-leading CORETEX® TRIPLE RIPSTOP material was developed by CORE Kiteboarding and is only available for the SIC Raptor wings. This high performance fabric is protected and reinforced by a unique coating process. CORETEX® sets the standard for breaking strength, tear resistance, UV protection, stretch and overall durability.

The Wing’s low “”stretch”” provides tremendous performance and because of the shorter span, the Wing’s tips are less likely to drag in the water when launching, turning, jibing and touching down.

The Raptor Wing uses an in-flow panel that connects the cloth to the center strut, ensuring that the Wing maintains an efficient and aerodynamic profile during acceleration and wing foiling. It also features a RUSH-AIR valve system that allows the Wing to inflate quickly and deflate quickly as well. Here, the front tube and center strut have two independent valves, so their pressures can be controlled independently for fine-tuning. The handle loops on the center strut and front tube help maintain control, trim and comfort at all times.
Small changes vs. the SIC Raptor 2021 Wing which include reduction of wing span,adjustment of handle position, ongoing improvement of wing tension. However thesechanges are not a fundamental difference vs. the existing 2021 Wing.
All Raptor Wings come as a complete package including wing, leash and bag.”
