The Freedom 2 is a high-end EN B that flies closer to a C than its rating suggests.
The hybrid 3-2 line layout is the headline. Three lines through the centre of the span, two out at the tips, cutting drag where it costs you most. Add the VPA variable-pressure A attachment and a four-way split A riser and you get a wing that holds its shape at speed instead of getting nervous about it.
Flow spent the design effort on comfort, which sounds like a soft goal until you are four hours into a task and your hands still work. Pitch stability is good, rear riser steering is efficient, and the top end is quick for the class. Semi-lightweight construction keeps the packed weight sensible.
Four sizes, XS to L, in Sky, Jazz or Disco.
