Mantis 2023
I’ve tried duotone, Armstrong, ozone And I like the mantis the best of them all. The tight canopy supplies, powerful pumping action when water starting. The wing is balanced in both hands so that you have no undue stress on the back arm always sheeting in. Rigid handles, give wonderful, direct input from your hands. One arm down winding is way more manageable because the wing does not flutter or flap around. It remains very stable. Sadly, Cabrinha has had problems with their valves failing and such was the case with mine. a quick repair of the base of the valve fixed the problem with my brand new mantis. The handles have held together , But I’m concerned about them holding together in the long run. I am a Lifelong Cabrinha fan, but they need to get their gear quality in order.

Mantis V3 3 Meter
I am really liking the new Mantis V3. The handles are a huge upgrade. I also like the change from the flat canopy to a bit of dihedral. Seems to have a bit more range, low and top end, from the V2.
