Evolution and Refinement
The HOOK 2 benefits from the evolution of the SLE (structured leading edge) as used on the ARTIK 2. The result is an improved leading edge, one more efficient and streamlined than the original Hook, one capable of dealing with the strongest of conditions while you safely and effortlessly explore new boundaries. A higher arc and a higher aspect ratio have been carefully calculated for improved performance yet the HOOK 2 maintains the ease of flying and high security achieved by the original Hook. The Hook2 has less total line length for better aerodynamics and better glide. Niviuk also increased the number of cells from 47 to 50.
