PD incorporated sail fabric into the Valkyrie&#8217;s ribs to give her more power, more responsiveness and longer swoops than an all ZP constructed Valkyrie. Think of her as a &#8220;Valkyrie on steroids&#8221; with more sensitivity in the harness and more stopping power than ever before. Available as an option when purchasing your next custom wing, the sail ribs are a great addition for the seasoned Valkyrie owner. The <strong>Hybrid Valkyrie<\/strong> option is only $100 extra.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Think of her as a &quot;Valkyrie on steroids&quot; with more sensitivity in the harness and more stopping power than ever before<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When choosing between the A<strong>ll ZP<\/strong> and <strong>Hybrid Valkyri<\/strong>e, keep in mind that the sail ribs will increase pack volume by about a half size in comparison to the all ZP Valkyrie. The overall lifespan of the canopy is similar to that of an all ZP wing. The Hybrid Valkyrie is available to order now from your dealer. Demos and stock canopies will be available in the coming weeks.
