Tribal APACHE-R

Explosive acceleration. Massive low-end. Effortless control. 

When speed becomes serious, compromise disappears

The Apache-R is Tribal’s full-blooded race sail for serious riders, engineered for Slalom competition, GPS speed sessions, PWA-level performance and riders who demand maximum efficiency.


But unlike many high-end race sails, Apache-R delivers its power differently, combining a huge low-end pull, a soft, efficient cam twist and a surprisingly light feel in the hands. Powerful, but never punishing!

Why Apache-R Feels Different

Compared to other Race sails, Apache-R feels light in the hands, does not need aggressive control or punishes mistakes. No rigid draft locking. Built with extremely soft cam twist technology, you still get the locked Race profile but without the rigid, heavy or demanding feel. Race intensity, without Race brutality!


What makes Apache-R special:

  • Pumps onto the plane aggressively
  • Stays controlled at full speed
  • Drives through the wind lulls
  • Remains manageable when fully powered

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Apache-R suitable for freeriders?
No. This is a full-blooded Race sail. It rewards technique and commitment.
How does it compare to Omaha?
Omaha = Race performance simplified. Apache-R = full Race intensity, high performance, more low-end, more speed.

OMAHA
• 3 cams
• More accessible
• Wider comfort band

APACHE-R
• 4 cams
• More low-end
• Higher peak speed
• Full race authority

Omaha pushes speed. Apache-R commands it.
Is the cam rotation difficult?
The soft cam twist makes rotation smoother than in traditional rigid Race sails.
Is it physically demanding?
It’s powerful, but designed to reduce fatigue compared to many 4-cam Race designs.
