Here are some key insights regarding the essential question of the low-end of the Veloce H V3.
Dreaming of the glide offered by the new Veloce H V3 but unsure about which size to choose? In response to this crucial question on our GONG Galaxy page, its designer emphasizes that this is a high aspect front wing, and its advantages should be considered accordingly.
Namely, this wing type prioritizes glide above all, but the profile innovations on this V3 add forgiveness and due to a reduction of 200cm² in surface area, a more playful character :
“You’ll have a much better low-end with the V3. Equivalent to having 200cm² more on a V2.
The different aspect ratio means its potential and technicality are really something else, but as far as low-end is concerned, you’ll get significantly more.
In other words: The Veloce H V3 might require more precise pumping than the non-H Veloce V2—though this depends on your pumping technique—but it will go faster, with more apparent wind, more glide, better low-speed handling, more forgiveness through whitewater and when the tips breach, making it far more efficient in the low-end.” Patrice Guénolé, GONG boss & shaper.
