Check out this Teaser.
During the time we build the Aero we listened to users.
We noted the comments and incorporated into a new model.
Some new features like wide adjustment in a new way, and more.
We placed it to a higher level with some force simulations and calculations.
Hopefully we meet the expectations.

I like the look of the 'Z' bracing at the back! Is that design chosen for a aesthetic reason, or does it have an advantage compared to 'X' ??

Congrats on the new bug, Martin! Looks nice. I don't care for the Z brace, however. I like symmetry :)

Is this replacement for Aero or additional model in line up .... ?

The Aero will stay for a while. Depending on the performance of this new buggy.
The supra is little bit bigger, more oversized tubes to give a massive impression.
The 'Z' is also for the looks.
But mounting one diagonal tube is enough for stiffness.
The uppertube of the 'z' is also backrest and will get some foam.
Backaxle is Ø60mm sidebars are Ø38mm downtube is 60x60mm

question for you USA guys;
what is the restriction to buy a European buggy? is it the price of shipment?

Yeah. I have found some great deals in the UK, but they want 200-300 dollars for shipping.

Nice looking bug as usual from MG.
I think for the number of pilots here in the States there are a lot of European Bugs, its just a slow growing sport here, not sure why.

Yep ... Not that many kiters here ... Imagine that New Jersey have 130 miles of coast line .... and our NJ Facebook page have only 150 kiteboarders .... and kiteboarding is most popular from all kite sports ...... and funny ... most of those people come from Europe ... including me .....
... also .... I think economy its been hurting so many of us ...
