MATRIX - FREERIDE

There is no need for cambers, when you’re aiming for pure performance and maximum speed – the Matrix combines a locked-in racing feeling with ease of use.

The outline of the Matrix is based on our slalom sails with a small sail head and refined batten positioning, which leads to powerful yet extremely controllable drive.

Updated sail shaping and a refined luff curve provide maximum control and performance in a massive wind range. A newly introduced one-piece mast sleeve increases lightness and improves stretch characteristics.

The Matrix reaches levels of acceleration and top speed similar to a cambered sail, while it remains incredibly stable and light in your hands, even in strong gusts.

Freerace performance has never been as accessible as with the Matrix – a no-cam sail that combines speed and ease of use to perfection.
