AZTRON AIM 5.0 2023 TEST REVIEW

The Verdict

At almost half the price of some of the other wings on test, the Aztron Aim is certainly appealing for those not looking to splash too much cash. For its price, it also comes with some great features, such as stiff handles and impressive durability prospects.

The Lowdown

The Aim, with its advanced design concepts, is produced at an affordable price. The canopy weight has been reduced and constructed from dacron, showcasing formidable tear-resistant qualities. Its strong profile and enhanced low-end torque are some of its key attributes.

The window panel, reconfigured for improved visibility and safety, pairs brilliantly with the expanded wingspan for overall improved performance.

The Aim also boasts handles that are both sturdy and equipped with gridlock technology, ensuring secure and comfortable handling. Enhancing its durability and flexibility is the double seam tape reinforcement, a small addition with substantial impact.

The Aim also utilises a dual-valve system for easy inflation and deflation, adding to its overall convenience. It includes a high-quality gear bag for easy storage and transportation and a wrist leash for safety. Overall, the Aim is a wing that is graphically pleasing and produced at a strong price point.

Brand Claim

“The design goal of the new AIM wing was simple, a high performance wing structure with innovative material technology and improved design such as increased segments, upgraded fabric and better wing span for freeriding, cruising or rotational freestyle moves.”

Performance

The Aim offers a broad spectrum of versatility, adapting well to numerous riders, from beginners to intermediates. Setting the wing up is extremely easy thanks to Aztron’s double SUP valve, a design that is not only easy, but adds to the wing’s clean look. Excelling in calmer conditions, the Aim performs well during transitions. When getting going, the wing has a very soft feel, flexing and absorbing any chaotic breeze, ensuring riders won’t be pulled off their feet.

While its leash boasts impressive quality, its shorter length might present some hindrances during specific manoeuvres. One of the standout features of the Aim is undoubtedly the redefined shape, which incorporates stellar handles that significantly enhance the overall user experience.

These handles, along with the light structure of the wing, pave the way for ease of use. Added to this is the durability of the wing, which promises a longer lifespan and, thus, sustained enjoyment. Overall this is the perfect wing for those looking to get into the sport or enjoy a beach day with the family without breaking the bank.
