davelepka 4 #27 August 16, 2010 You're making a big deal out of the X-braced (and beyond) market, but you have to remember that those canopies represent just a sliver of the overall sport parachute market. If you design an even higher performance canopy, chances are it will be more complex and therefore more expensive, that wing would hold an even smaller market share. Take PD for example. Since the Velo was released, it has produced one higher performance canopy, the Comp Velo, which is really just a Velo with some factory mods. In that same time, they have release the Pulse, Storm, Sabre2 and the Optimum Reserves (did I miss anything?). It shows you where they put their R&D time and money, and it ain't the leading edge of hgh performance. There might be ten better ideas out there then X-bracing, but finding someone to develop them and build them into a canopy that jumpers can afford and want to jump is the real trick.

Sobakin 1 #35 August 19, 2010 It opens really sweet - like Crossfire. Flying really good - I like it more than Velo. Has a bit shorter arc, but it still in preproduction stage, many changes may be done. Didn't jump JVX, so can't compare with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoink 321 #44 February 6, 2011 Completely as an aside, that video is a great example of just how much faffing post-deployment an RDS adds on to your process, and why a full RDS isn't an everyday 'jumping in groups' deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its been discussed a bit on a Russian forum, but the I can't make much sense of the google translation... http://www.skycentre.net/index.php?showtopic=6791&st=140 "competitive large" is probably a comp velo. "the great" seems to be another google translate term for a velocity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marc84 0 #49 February 25, 2011 Wow... $1845USD with a RDS too... That is a very good deal compared to a Comp Velo or a JVX… What is a JVX going for these days? Is the just the pre-production price? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the just the pre-production price? They are in full production, but perhaps you ment introduction price? I really don't know. The web site doesn't say anything about it (I think, I only read the russian site via Google Translate). Perhaps they want to keep the price low to get more canopies out there to get some brand awareness? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
