The NAZCA II surprises with its smooth and comfortable ride, its speed and
constant traction, as well as it’s oh so fast turn !

- New Active Performance 5th line bridle (AP) with 2 pulleys

range

is always light and precise : with the position of
your bar, you can choose the power during your
moves : strong or very light, but always smooth
Safety :

- Strong and effective reinforcements in all strategic places
... All these details have been developed together to produce an intelligent, balanced design that results in
the so fluid, comfortable and lively NAZCA II.

inspired from the spider design
depicted in the Nazca lines
