LIGHT - EFFICIENT - AGILE
Easy
The Tyron-III is the ideal freeride wing. It's powerful even in light winds, easy to pump and offers simple handling. It remains easy to control even in strong winds which is a significant advantage in gusty conditions. I have incorporated all the insights gained from the TYRON-PRO into the Tyron-III. It is made from high-quality Dacron and micro-ripstop fabrics. Various well-thought-out design details, such as aramid laminate reinforcements, ensure a long service life and high durability.
Efficient
With the Tyron III I was able to further improve upon the Tyron II’s already well-known performance. This is particularly evident in higher wind conditions thanks to a leading edge with a smaller diameter and a profile that has been made slightly flatter. These features also make pumping more efficient when a high pumping frequency is required in the very lightest wind conditions. Modern wings no longer require bulbous profiles.
Agile
The now thinner leading edge and slightly flatter profile make the Tyron III very agile on its own. Thanks to the aramid strip on the front of the leading edge the wing retains its shape even at high speeds and during quick maneuvers. This stiffness makes it particularly agile and nimble to handle, because the profile doesn’t move. It remains completely neutral, because I want to focus on the maneuver and not on the wing.
FEATURES
"The Tyron-III is essentially the Dacron version of the TYRON-PRO which is made from laminates."
Carbon-Boom 2-piece
My carbon boom is made entirely of carbon and can be disassembled into two parts without tools so it fits inside the wing bag. The solid carbon tube has an outer diameter of just 22 mm which ensures long sessions with the wing without causing cramps in the forearms. All ends of the boom are fitted with a neoprene sleeve. Inside there is an additional EVA cushion to prevent the boom from damaging the board. The boom is supported in the middle by a line loop attached to the strut to minimize any bending even under heavy load. One boom fits all wing sizes.
The Carbon Boom is included with a Tyron-III Wing.
3-Panel-Design
Just like the TYRON-PRO the Tyron-III features only one front panel, one center panel and one panel along the trailing edge on each side. This technology results in fewer seams and better tension distribution across the sail.
LE-Tension-Stripes
The two middle segments of the leading edge are made from a particularly low-stretch Dacron ensuring that the wing remains stiff in the middle while still allowing the wing tips to twist slightly. In addition a UPE-aramid tension band runs along the front of the leading edge ensuring that the wing can hardly twist backward even under heavy pressure in the sail and thus would not release too much tension from the upper sail. This tension band also ensures constant tension on the upper sail.
Strut-Tension-Stripes
The wind pressure on the wing causes the strut to flex thereby affecting the wing’s profile. The result is usually poorer handling and reduced performance. To prevent this I have also installed an internal tension strap made of low-stretch Dacron on the underside of the strut. This also improves the wing’s durability as the Dacron fabric on the strut stretches less over time and the wing retains its shape longer.
Windows
Once you’ve had windows in your wing that work well you don’t want to be without them. The unique design of my wings, where the windows are divided into multiple sections, ensures that the forces acting on the upper sail are effectively absorbed by the spinnaker fabric. This hardly impairs visibility at all. For the window material I use a TPU material that is highly resistant to creases. I always pack my wings very small and tight and don’t pay any attention to possible creases in the window.
Dacron-Frame
To transfer the forces acting on the upper sail into the leading edge as effectively as possible, I’ve incorporated what’s known as a Dacron frame into my wings. This means that the spinnaker fabric isn’t directly connected to the leading edge at any point. A narrow strip of orange Dacron fabric runs along the entire length of the leading edge. This fabric has significantly less stretch than the spinnaker fabric. If you ever have a crash and the upper sail tears—for example from contact with the foil—the tear will almost always stop at the Dacron frame and not tear any further. During repairs there is no longer a need to open the leading edge to sew the new or repaired upper sail panel to the leading edge. This design detail results in a significantly lower repair bill.
Dacron-T
Conventional connections between the upper sail and the strut allow for only one seam, as shown in the top diagram. On the Tyron-III this connection is made using a Dacron-T, as shown in the bottom diagram. These are two narrow strips that are sewn at a 90-degree angle to the seam allowance of the strut on each side, as well as to the mainsail from below. This design allows for a completely symmetrical attachment of the mainsail to the strut and also provides enough space to create two zigzag seams—see 1 and 2 on the image.
Just as with the Dacron frame there is no direct connection between the upper sail and the strut in the Dacron-T design. Therefore when repairing the upper sail there is no need to open the strut which significantly reduces repair costs.
SUP-Valves
Thanks to the use of two SUP valves with my wings you can decide for yourself how much air pressure you want in the strut and how much in the leading edge. I like to keep the strut as stiff as possible so that the wing flies very directly. With the front tube you can experiment a bit with the air pressure to find the best possible setting for yourself. The adapter required for the SUP valves is included with every Tyron III.
Battens
A wing that flutters is simply not an option for me. That’s why I’ve inserted battens along the trailing edge of all my wings. The design of the batten pockets reflects my commitment to lightweight construction.
Wing-Bag
A lightweight wing needs a lightweight wing bag. That’s why I chose the same bag for my wings as I do for our kites. Weighing just 135 grams this bag is truly lightweight and therefore ideal for travel. It’s simple, functional and yet durable. No unnecessary details—just a focus on the essentials. A bag just the way I like it. The two side straps close the opening at the top of the bag when pulled and also serve as shoulder straps.
Leash
In my opinion every wing should come with a leash. That’s why I include a high-quality leash for the hip with every wing I ship. It attaches to the waist belt via a quick-release mechanism and can be easily opened in an emergency to detach from the wing. To prevent the leash from twisting and shortening if you always steer the wing in the same direction I’ve added a tiny swivel right at the leash loop where you attach the leash to the wing.
