Nova Mentor 7 Light
The MENTOR 7 Light is the result of a brand new hybrid "2.5-line" design and benefits from all the research experience gained from the development of the XENON. This significantly improves performance and further expands its cross-country potential. Its clever lightweight construction also meets the durability requirements expected from an EN-B class wing. 2.5 lines | 66 cells | aspect ratio: 5.5 | weight: from 3.65 kg - size XXS (EN/LTF B)

Detailed description
"Rid'Air Team's Opinion: The MENTOR 7 Light is a revolution in the Nova range. It's a '2.5-liner' that brings the feel and efficiency of competition wings to the EN-B category. In accelerated flight, the stability is astonishing, and rear-riser steering via the HAC-Handles is surgically precise. It's the ultimate distance wing for those who want pure performance without the stress of an EN-C."
NOVA MENTOR 7 Light: The Hybrid Cross-Country Machine
The MENTOR 7 Light marks a major turning point: it's a hybrid 2.5-line design wing. This innovation allows it to offer the flight performance of a 2-line wing, especially during accelerated flight, while maintaining the comfort and passive safety of an EN-B wing. It is specifically designed for cross-country (XC) and vol-bivouac.
Thanks to its optimized lightweight construction (from 3.65 kg), it is not only pleasant to carry but also gains in inflation ease and responsiveness. The aerodynamic work, with increased sail tension and an optimized Shark-Nose, gives it exceptional glide that challenges the competition in its category.
The strong point of the MENTOR 7 Light lies in its handling. It is equipped with HAC (High Arched Handles) on the C-risers, allowing full control of the angle of attack on the accelerator without deforming the profile. This allows pilots to cross turbulent areas with maximum efficiency, transforming this High B into a true kilometer-eater.
The MENTOR 7 Light is a high-performance EN-B wing ("High B"). It is aimed at experienced pilots regularly practicing thermal and cross-country flying. Although EN-B certified, it requires active piloting to exploit its full potential in distance conditions.
