The redesigned internal architecture with additional diagonal ribs makes the wing more rigid and therefore more solid in turbulent air.

This is all the more true for the PRION 4. The brake line is made of PPSLS 65 - the thinnest sheathed line on the market. This means very little drag, whilst the lines remain easy to sort. The balanced handling and the compact canopy will enable you to climb efficiently in thermals.

The way Nova has conceptualised the lines has made it possible to manufacture wings which are collapse resistant; but when they do collapse, the collapsed area is generally less extensive.
