The Competition Velocity 96 (commonly referred to as the Comp Velocity or VC 96) is a high-performance, 7-cell cross-braced skydiving canopy manufactured by Performance Designs.
It is a specialized evolution of the original Velocity, specifically designed for competitive swooping and highly experienced canopy pilots.

Key Specifications & Performance
Design: 7-cell cross-braced structure with improved aerodynamics and almost totally enclosed leading edge.
Size: 96 square feet (part of a size range from 71 to 111 sq. ft.).

Flight Characteristics:
Recovery Arc: Very long and steep, ideal for high-speed swoop landings.

Controls: Highly responsive to toggle, harness, and riser inputs.

Rear Risers: Enhanced power and performance compared to the standard Velocity.

Shut Down: Exceptional stopping power for landings.

Lines: Standard configurations often use 300 or 500 HMA or Vectran lines.

Ideal User Profile
The Comp Velocity 96 is not intended as an entry-level cross-braced canopy. It is suitable for:

Competitive Swoopers: Pilots looking for a podium-level wing for canopy piloting competitions.

Experienced Pilots: Those transitioning from other high-performance wings like the Katana or original Velocity.

Specific Disciplines: Its slow-flight toggle characteristics make it popular for canopy flocking and XRW (eXtreme Relational Work).

Maintenance & Accessories
Line Sets: Replacement line sets are available in materials like 500 Orange Vectran or HMA.

Removable Deployment System (RDS): Often paired with an RDS to maximize flight efficiency by removing the drag of the slider and pilot chute after deployment.

The Comp Velocity takes all the best characteristics of the original Velocity, and enhances them.

Designed for ultimate responsiveness, the Comp Velocity’s advanced construction and dynamic characteristics make it a standout choice for canopy piloting, providing the agility required for precision landings and the competitive edge needed to outperform the competition.
