The concept:
One wing to do it all.
Top of the range performance for serious XC flights,
Super Lightweight: nothing in the market today matches this class of performance and this kind of weight – go hiking without thinking about what wing to take.
EN B class accessibility
Ultimate precision and agility.
Fly XC or on long Vol-Bivouac flights feeling light – begin long glides with confidence – and trust the Ozone True Performance stability and the EN B passive safety of your wing.
New Features:
Developed from the Rush2.
The material spec of the Rush has been optimized for weight and glide performance.
Geo cloth on the Upper surface provides the best longevity of the sail and is light while retaining excellent mechanical properties (stretch resistance) to maintain profile performance and handling responsiveness (for glide and agility).
UltraLite cloth for the bottom surface to reduce weight and volume since (lower surface experiences less stress and wear than the upper surface).
Ribs and the diagonal panels remain in original 40g hard finish since nothing yet matches the brilliant spec of this material. The geometry of the ribs has been fine-tuned to achieve a few hundred gram weight reduction
A new feature, also on the UltraLite 09, is the Leading Edge reinforcement using a thin plastic pipe to replace the standard Dacron reinforcement. The result is not only lighter than the classic technique, but more efficient because it better retains the leading edge profile.
We have also revised our choice of line material in order to reduce the total line drag: A substantial 16% drag reduction has lead to a 0.35 glide improvement with zero compromise in passive safety.
If ordered with the light riser option, the Swift is equipped with risers of the lightest webbing available, which have proved durable during their use in the Geo and Geo II.
Also on the light riser option, the LinkLite system is used to connect the lines to the risers, replacing traditional maillons. This configuration has created the lightest possible riser system that still retains a good level of ergonomics and ‘user friendliness’.
