Description
The most efficient way to the mark
VMG (Velocity Made Good) is a mindset: the most efficient route to peak racing performance. The VMG³ flies very far forward in the wind window, minimises aerodynamic drag and converts wind into forward drive with great efficiency. Its wide depower range lets you use large sizes in many conditions with full control. The new generation is more accessible and improves in every parameter; it has been developed for the 2028 Olympic cycle with five specific constructions, one for each size.
