Competition Velocity
Since the release of the PD Velocity in 1999, we have learned a lot about cross-braced canopies. While on the surface the Competition Velocity may look like a regular Velocity, it a completely different machine. With improved aerodynamics, better openings, more powerful rear risers, and better slow flight characteristics on the toggles, the Competition Velocity is like a Velocity on steroids. If you are looking for a step up in opening, flight, and landing performance from your current cross-braced canopy, the Competition Velocity is for you.
