Technology • Dyna-Link Locking Boom System

Dyna-Link is a simple locking boom system for the X-Wing Performance. It allows you to assemble quickly and easily with zero hardware, and is ultra solid in flight.

Armstrong X-Wing Performance Wings

Advanced Laminate Composite • Lightweight Strength

Built using ULTRA-PE X-PLY – Advanced Laminate Composite material, the X-Wing balances lightweight handling with exceptional tension control and durability. Low-stretch fibres and protected laminate layers reduce distortion under sustained load for a crisp, efficient feel.

HIGHLIGHTS

Power That Feels Natural

Built for riders who want to push their riding further, the X-Wing delivers increased forward drive with smooth, controlled power delivery. It generates speed efficiently while maintaining a predictable, composed feel, giving riders the confidence to ride harder and faster.

Rather than aggressive or overpowering, the power builds progressively, creating a natural connection between rider and wing.

Light Where It Matters. Strong Where It Counts

At under 2 kg, the X Wing feels noticeably lighter in hand, particularly in larger sizes where weight savings make the biggest difference.

The advanced material construction balances lightweight handling with long term durability, delivering a wing that feels responsive in motion while remaining strong under load.

Efficiency First

The higher aspect design and refined airframe improve glide, reduce drag, and make generating apparent wind more effortless. Transitions feel smoother, maneuvers feel lighter, and the wing maintains speed with less input.

In the 12 to 18 knot range, the efficiency really comes to life, offering a fast, fluid riding experience with minimal effort.

Stable, Controlled Power

The canopy is engineered to handle increased loads with minimal distortion, delivering clean release and consistent drive.

While the higher aspect ratio enhances efficiency, it also brings a more reactive feel at higher speeds. Riders looking for maximum stability in strong wind may still prefer the XPS MKII, while the X-Wing excels when efficiency and performance are the priority.

Visibility and Setup

Four compact windows improve visibility into blind spots, adding confidence in busy conditions.

Following the Dyna Link system, the X-Wing is offered in a boom only configuration, allowing riders to customize their setup.

Positioning

Sitting above the XPS in the range, the X-Wing Performance is built for riders prioritising speed, efficiency, and refined power delivery.

It is not a replacement, but a progression. A higher performance option for when conditions and riding style demand more.

X-WING OR XPS MKII?

Armstrong positions the X-Wing above the XPS MKII as a progression, not a replacement.
