NEWS: THE RIGID HANDLES AND MODULARITY OF THE NEUTRA RH!

The new Neutra RH allows you to mount all types of gripping solutions for the full experience and the best performance in its core program!

 

 

The program of the 2023 Neutra RH with rigid handles is uncompromising: to shred in wave riding! Radicality in surfing and jumping is what this wing is designed for. With more precision, sailing comfort and power, the rigid handles of the Neutra RH bring it to a whole new level. A more direct control system that implies a good level of practice but without being exclusive. Quite the contrary, thanks to the modularity of this innovative system which makes it possible to mount soft handles or a boom, offered as an option!

The three gripping solutions each make a solid case depending on your program and your desires. Simplicity, comfort or performance, we have decided not to give up on any of that and to choose modularity. By default, the Neutra HR 2023 is delivered with rigid handles because these have the performance edge to send higher and stronger but you are free to go for the soft handles or the boom. For example, you can put the rigid handles for freestyle, the boom for speed runs and the textile handles for the waves.

For unconditional fans of soft handles, we continue to offer the Neutra 2023 with sewn soft handles with which Malo became Surf/Freestyle world champion last year. It’s all up to you ! 😉

 

New rigid handles

Equipped with our innovative and high-end rigid handles, we immediately feel that this design by our R&D is the real deal. These handles are fixed with two screws on US nuts: the same as those of your foil! This allows you to switch from the new rigid handles to our new soft handles or boom with 3 turns of tightening key!!! It’s crazy.

  At GONG we put everything into our products. Our handles come from six different molds to meet the real needs of users:

• A front handle that sits perfectly in the hand without having to twist the wrist. It is a shorter handle because it must position your hand with great precision in relation to the center of effort. And the fore bend of this front handle is large enough to allow pistol grip in DW/freefly and surf. You thus keep some power that you can micro-adjust, and you eliminate the possible flaps which delay you. Very very practical when you know how to use it well.

• A long rear handle to control the power by the simple positioning of the hand. Its length also allows you to grab the wing in tricks with your eyes closed. This rigid rear handle is also closer to the strut to avoid riding with the rear elbow bent.

   

The appearance of our system with rigid handles with this triple solution rigid handles / boom / soft handle makes it possible to vary the dynamics of the wing. Indeed, the boom takes up a very large part of the bending forces exerted on the central strut: the wing is more rigid, and the trailing edge retains its tension and opens less. The soft handles give a very different feeling: smooth and more secure. And rigid handles are the exact compromise between these two feelings. The handles are therefore not just another form of grip: they are a performance element that you can adjust with GONG! Thus the profile is even more effective in responding to your desires.
