🧵 Materials & Design

✂️ Lightweight but Durable

Nova uses Skytex 27 double-coated fabric in key areas, and Skytex 32 where more durability is needed. The balance means it’s tough enough for real XC without being fragile.

🪢 Line Layout

It uses Nova’s trademark Low Drag Line Configuration—a hybrid mix of sheathed and unsheathed lines to reduce drag without compromising ease of use.

🧠 Internal Structure

Optimized rib tension, double 3D shaping, and innovative ballooning control lead to a very clean leading edge and reduced drag.
