My new set of 2026 North Nova Pro wings has just arrived (at the end of February).
Following my side-by-side comparison of the 2026 4.2 (V3) and the 2025 4.2 (V2) models, here are the changes I observed:
- Slightly thinner leading edge diameter
- Updated panel layout along with a revised load diffuser
- New RS3 triple ripstop canopy in the front section, which replaces the previous double ripstop canopy
- Overall weight reduction of approximately 200 grams (as measured) compared to the V2 model.
- An updated bag
I am eager to ride it and will share my initial impressions here!
If you have any questions or if there are features I may have overlooked, please feel free to comment.
Cheers,

Just curious what the weight of the v3 is for comparison to other brands, as north dont publish it for some reason.
Looks good, but I'm not sure if ShiftLock is much of a value add.
