Delta 1st Gen 890-R Front Wing USED

The Delta 1st Gen 890-R Front Wing is an early-production version of Delta Hydrofoil's 890 Reflex, a low-aspect-ratio kite foil front wing built around the brand's patent-pending reflex foil technology. Originally marketed under the name Cozumel, the 890 Reflex was designed to deliver consistent lift and stability across a broad speed range while maintaining a nimble, playful feel on the water. This particular listing is a used, first-generation unit in Grade B cosmetic condition with minor surface scratches and no structural damage or repairs.

Delta Hydrofoil is a boutique foil manufacturer focused on kite, wing, and surf foiling. The 890 Reflex sits within their Reflex series, which emphasizes accessible performance through lower aspect ratios and the brand's proprietary reflex foil profile. As a pre-production piece, this wing predates the current production 890 Reflex (SKU W0890) but shares the same core geometry and design philosophy.

• Wing Area: 890 cm²
• Wingspan: 56 cm
• Chord: 21 cm
• Aspect Ratio: 3.5
• Condition: Used — Grade B (cosmetic scratches, no structural damage)
• Included: Front wing with protective cover (hardware not included)

Delta positions the 890 Reflex as a front wing for intermediate kite foilers and lighter-weight riders looking for a balance of stability and maneuverability. The 890 cm² surface area provides enough lift for comfortable riding without requiring high wind or excessive speed to stay on foil, while the 3.5 aspect ratio keeps the wing forgiving through turns and transitions. Delta also notes it can serve riders who are still learning to kite foil, thanks to its stable flight characteristics at varying speeds.

The wing suits riders who prioritize a playful, surf-influenced feel over pure top-end speed. If you're a heavier rider or primarily chasing light-wind performance, Delta's larger 1500 Reflex or their Progression HA series would likely be a better match. Conversely, riders focused on high-aspect speed foiling would look toward Delta's Performance HA line instead.

Within Delta Hydrofoil's current catalog, the Reflex series includes three front wings: the 860 Reflex, the 890 Reflex, and the 1500 Reflex. The 890 sits as the mid-range option in the series, sharing the reflex foil profile with its siblings but offering a slightly different span-to-chord ratio than the 860. At a new retail price of $399, the 890 Reflex is among the more affordable wings in Delta's lineup, which ranges up to $549 for larger surf and progression models.

As a used first-generation unit priced at $199, this wing represents an entry point into the Delta ecosystem at roughly half the cost of a new production version. Buyers should note that hardware is not included, so mounting screws will need to be sourced separately. For riders comparing across brands, the 890 cm² area and 3.5 AR place it in a similar category to other low-aspect kite foil wings designed for stability and ease of use rather than outright glide or speed.
