1st Stage
  - Compact machined first stage based on the expedition tested Apeks DS4   platform.   
- Break through, innovative over-moulded first-stage endcap and   environmental diaphragm helps prevent ice build-up that can cause first stage   free flow in extreme circumstances. Also protects the first stage from impact   damage.   
- Large surface area heat exchanger diaphragm clamp helps increase the gas   temperature inside the first stage, resulting in improved cold water   performance.   
- Unique over-balanced diaphragm design – as the diver descends, the   over-balancing feature allows the medium pressure gas in the hose to increase   at a faster rate than ambient. This results in superior performance at depth.   
- With 2 HP ports and 4MP ports.
 
2nd Stage
  - Compact and lightweight second stage improves comfort and helps reduce jaw   fatigue on long duration dives.   
- High performance pneumatically balanced lever operated poppet valve.   
- Large, over moulded self-flushing and controllable purge button.   
- Ergonomic Venturi lever is easy to use and locate.   
- Flexible nylon braided hose has better cold water performance than a   traditional rubber hose.   
- Standard metallic hose connection for interchangeability.   
- Comfo-bite mouthpiece has a unique bridge that fits across the upper   palate and does not require bite pressure to stay in place.   
- Re-useable mouthpiece clip makes it simple to change mouthpieces in the   field.   
- Durable and flexible rubber exhaust tee provides excellent bubble   diversion.
