I am choosing my first wing.
I am 80 kg and 176 cm. The riding condition is mainly light wind.
Which one is better to choose? Perhaps other recommendations?

How did you narrow it down to those wings? Both are pretty new, and you probably aren't going to get a lot of comparative feedback between them. The three-strug design of the CVC is unique and is going to make it a bit more specific to light wind applications. Not to say thats a bad thing, but its a pretty specific choice. I have heard nothing about the Mojo and haven't ever seen one in person - kind of feels like a random choice.
Assuming you are focused on light wind, my suggestion would be to find an "all-around" 6m wing for a good price and figure out how you are going to use it and specifically what attributes you value. The Cabrinha Mantis, Slingwing v2, and SIC can all be found for pretty good prices and would be accessible wings to start on. The FOne Swing or Strike, would also be good choices but likely more expensive. Unless you truly don't get wind over 22 kts, you are eventually going to want to get a smaller wing too (4 or 4.5), so take that into consideration too.
Adding your board/foil, and wind range (how light) would also be helpful.
