Cabrinha 2026 Mantis — All-Round Wing for Freeride, Big Air & Surf
Balanced power, premium build and universal versatility in a proven wing platform.
Overview
The 2026 version of the Mantis from Cabrinha builds on a trusted legacy as a benchmark wing that delivers stability, control and performance across multiple disciplines — from wave riding and freeride sessions to powered-up big-air blasting. With an upgraded Airframe inflation system and a newly standard Handlebar boom, this wing makes setup faster, handling smoother and ride feel more dependable than ever.
Key Features
- Airframe Inflation System — Single-point inflation for faster setup, secure structure and global compatibility.
- Handlebar Boom (standard) — New moulded composite boom and front handle deliver superior control when free-flying or locked in.
- Teijin D2 Ripstop Canopy — Lightweight, durable Japanese fabric with UV & abrasion protection for longevity and performance.
- Convex Dihedral & Low-Profile Design — Balanced power-to-stability ratio that stays powered but smooth in gusts or flagged out.
- Load-Path Panel Layout & Spanwise Panels — Engineered tension distribution for structural integrity and consistent feel.
- Indexing Mount Attachments — Boom-to-wing connection locks the rotation and enhances rigidity.
Who Is It For?
This wing is perfect for intermediate to advanced riders who want a single wing that can keep up with freeride loops, big-air jumps or surf rides. If you value reliability, responsive handling and want gear that adapts across conditions, the 2026 Mantis is your top choice.
