Zipped Mohawk: closed, “an ultra-dynamic wing, with lightning-fast reactions”; open, a stable reflex cruiser.
“Built for pilots who demand both adrenaline and versatility” — from freestyle sessions to “long XC adventures”.
APCO's first reflex wing with SAP shark nose plus foldable Mohawk — “stable, fast, safe flying when you need it”.

Freestyle – playful, energetic handling when you want it
Built for pilots who demand both adrenaline and versatility. With crisp, precise handling, outstanding stability, and surprising comfort, it’s the perfect companion for everything from dynamic freestyle sessions to long XC adventures.
Closed Mohawk: unlock an ultra-dynamic wing, with lightning-fast reactions and full of energy.
Open Mohawk: enjoy a more damped yet lively wing, tuned for XC efficiency and stability – perfect for long flights with friends, while still letting you throw in wingovers and adrenaline packed fun along the way.
Certification: according to the manufacturer, the EN 926-1 load test is still pending (as of 08/2026). The NRG III is a freestyle paramotor wing for experienced pilots.
First-hand impressions straight from the air.
The foldable Mohawk system allows two flight modes: Mohawk closed = dynamic freestyle flying with aggressive handling. Mohawk open = classic reflex profile for efficient XC. One wing, two characters.
The NRG III is for experienced PPG pilots with 100+ hours of reflex experience. The aggressive handling in freestyle mode demands pilot reflexes that school-wing pilots have not yet automated.
Three sizes between 15.5 and 17.5 m². Compact compared with standard paramotor wings — aimed at pilots who prioritise high cruise speed and sporty handling.
An APCO construction innovation: ribs are arranged along the flow lines rather than perpendicular. This reduces drag, increases profile stability at high speed and improves reflex behaviour under load.
