Double Dynamic Bridle System:
The innovative Double Dynamic Bridle System allows the removal of the B-connector on the bar without adding any yoke, pulley, or complex bridle layout, resulting in a system that’s as clean and simple as it is effective. The reduced complexity minimizes any risk of tangling while delivering precise feedback and intuitive power control.
This system acts simultaneously on both the front and back lines, optimizing the shape and balance of the pocket wing when sheeted in and sheeted out. Some bridles are activated when the wing is sheeted out, while others are when sheeted in, with no adjustment required from the rider, making everything more efficient and natural.
Thanks to this design, the pocket wing gains in comfort, especially in the high-end, even without a harness. Removing the central bridles also fully clears the bar area, offering a wider grip zone, increased freedom of movement, and a simpler visual read while riding.
Finally, this Double Dynamic Bridle System maximizes performance in both the low and high end, while ensuring easier stashing and much faster deployment at the end of a downwind run. It also allows better control of sail tension, significantly reducing creases even when it is fully sheeted out.
Vertical Bar:
The Quest features a new vertical carbon bar design with a molded piece and added length at the front. This design improves grip and comfort, especially near the front bridles, while providing a true support point that is particularly effective in high winds.
This slight extension of the bar allows the rider to sheet out more easily, without excessive effort or wrist strain. It optimizes the balance between the front and back hand, and reduces front-hand pressure when riding without a harness. This ergonomic design ensures efficient handling and makes learning more intuitive.
The rider can also lean on this balance point and sheet out in a single movement. In strong winds, when immediate depower is required, this bar overhang offers a significant gain in stability and control.
The new bar also integrates a small shielding tube at the A-point, fully protecting the fingers when the sail pivots when sheeted out at its maximum, or when packing. It raises the rotation point as well, making all handling smoother and more comfortable while further improving the depower efficiency.
Finally, the bar benefits from an EVA grip for improved handling, along with EVA bumpers on all angles to protect both rider and gear from shocks.
Pack Assist:
The Quest was designed to make packing a pocket wing quick and easy. Its bridle system is short and optimized, allowing for intuitive, effortless packing.
The Pack Assist system uses a set of front bridles that immediately reduces the wing’s power. Simply slide your hand a few centimetres along the white spliced bridles, and the Quest instantly becomes neutral.
The wing then naturally adopts a stable shape for downwind runs and is perfectly suited to be stowed in a stash belt.
Thanks to this architecture, there is no longer any need for a depower handle. The bridle system is simple and clean, making the Quest even easier to use.
D-Ribs:
The Quest is equipped with D-ribs for optimal control and tension management of the canopy. This results in better glide thanks to fewer bridles, a wider wind range, and impressive rigidity.
