2011 PWA Slalom World Champion
After the success of the REFLEX II, the objective was clear: Refine and perfect. The technology in the REFLEX III achieves these specific design objectives. We engineered an extremely rigid leading edge with our e3 laminate sleeve combined with our XL Cam, defining the superior stability and forward drive.
The wider sleeve has further increased the stability of the sail. This allows the rider to sail closer to the limit without a loss of control. The 5.6 and 6.2 now have 8 battens to promote further stability in stronger winds.
Weight has been reduced by eliminating unnecessary seams and reducing the areas of X-ply.
FEATURES
- REFLEX System - The unique SEVERNE REFLEX System redefines the dynamics of batten tension technology. Foil tension is locked forward in the sail while the leech is automatically freed to twist and flex under load. This maintains a forward draft position, maximizing speed and acceleration in a previously unachievable wind range.
- Dropped Clew - Allows reduced boom and luff lengths. Reduces swing weight, increases stability and works in unison with the REFLEX System to allow leech to twist and flex under load. Variable Outhaul Positions –Increases the tuning range of the REFLEX III. Rig set up can be matched to rider height, weight and wind strength.
- Sleeve Profiler - Stiffer material inserted into the front of the sleeve increases the efficiency of airflow over the leading edge of the sail
- Neoprene Boom Fairing - Improves aerodynamics of the sail and inhibits water from entering the luff, keeping the rig light.
- Stabilizor Panel - Thicker film designed to hold the 3D shaping of this critical area. This feature reduces the vertical stretch of the sail over time. It preserves the precise shaping of the sail and creates a more stable foil shape when the sail is under load.
