DESIGN
The Viper 6 features winglets for improved roll stability, making it more efficient in straight flight with less parasitic roll movements requiring less pilot input. Winglets also aid in the spiral stability reducing the chances of remaining neutral in the spiral dive.
The internal structure has been strengthened in critical load areas to reduce the mechanical deformation of the ribs and diagonals. This results in better structural integrity of the wing, ensuring the sail retains its quality over time for better performance and longevity. The use of light weight siliconized Dominico N10D fabric reduces the overall weight of the sail for improved handling, greater feel and better inflation characteristics whilst the silicon coating significantly improves durability for a longer lifespan. The profile has been chosen to perfectly balance performance, solidity, efficiency and handling with minor modifications to the planform for a smoother more progressive rib alignment.small wing
RISERS
The risers features colour coding to differentiate the risers, new maillon line keepers, brake handles with twist-preventing swivels and magnetic-lock clips. As standard, there is an Ozone PK system built into the risers and 2D steering system.small wing
PILOT
Designed specifically for competent and experienced pilots, the Viper 6 is the World Champion’s choice and the perfect tool for classic competitions and XC flying.
