(S)light changes
Wednesday, 16 September 2009
Since our paragliders with upper surface made of 40g/m2 cloth keep showing good performance, quality and popularity among pilots, we are successively introducing it in further models.
Current offer consists of Nucleon, Synthesis LT, Plasma and Plus. Among these paragliders there are also last pieces made of 45 g/m2 classic cloth, specifically Synthesis Classic in blue and green and Plasma in green (available while stocks last). All other will be produced as LT, of 40g/m2 cloth.
The original 45 g/m2 cloth on upper surface will be retained in Nemo, Manta, Shark, Orca and Reaction.
Main differences between light and classic version are:
- canopy weighs some 500g less
- slightly easier inflation at no wind take-off
- slightly increased sensibility in thermals
- slightly lower speed (1-2 km/h less)
These are rather pilot's impressions than hard facts, but we can see no obstacles in pursuing this trend :)
