This package includes Mirage RS+ Wing, Brave 4 Harness with airbag, Escape Reserve (size medium), front mount container with V-bridals.

In recent years the Mirage RS has proved to be a safe all-round glider for speed flying and speed riding.

Many top pilots in the paragliding scene (including the Soul Flyers, Valentin Deluc and many of the world’s other best pilots) have confidence in its forgiving flight behaviour in conjunction with its broad performance spectrum.

With the Mirage RS Plus, we are introducing a reworked version of this classic glider. The tried and tested basic concept remains unchanged, but the canopy has been upgraded with a new, very lightweight 15dtex fabric. This gives pilots a weight advantage and means a smaller pack size and even more uncomplicated launch behaviour compared to the previous model.

There have also been improvements to the riser used in the Mirage RS Plus. The optimised trimmer system allows even more precise adjustments to the angle of attack, with a deflector on the B level. The reworked riser geometry makes the Mirage RS Plus even easier to handle and ensures an intuitive connection to the canopy. In addition to other design details, we have optimised trimmer operation. A T-handle at the free end of the trimmer strap replaces the previous loop, to allow fast and safe operation, even with thick gloves.

Technical highlights:

• RAST – for improved canopy stability and performance

• proven, efficient and safe canopy profile from the Mirage RS, for the best all-round features

• shark-nose technology for greater stability at low angles of attack

• 3D shaping for perfect profile accuracy and sail tension

• new riser with optimised trimmer-system, for a better feel and intuitive connection to the canopy

• new, very lightweight and robust 15dtex canopy fabric for minimal canopy weight and pack size

• 3 new colour schemes, allowing greater individuality

• 7 sizes: PRO, 8.5, 9.5, 11, 13, 15, 17 Twin – for a large selection with a wide range of uses 

Target market:

• Mirage RS Plus Pro/8.5 for very experienced pilots and professionals
• Mirage RS Plus 9.5/11 for advanced pilots and experts
• Mirage RS Plus 13/15 for training and novices

Sizes 13 and 15 are the most suitable for novices and training.

The trimmer travel is ideal for speed flying novices. The dampened handling in these sizes is very forgiving and is a great help during the learning curve.

In addition, these sizes are also ideally suited for soaring in strong winds or ground-handling, or for those needing a rapid descent method for hike & fly.

• Mirage RS Plus 17 Twin for speed flying tandem flights

With the extended load test and riser with two hangpoint heights, the Mirage RS Plus 17 Twin is ideally suited for safe tandem flights and also for heavier speed flying / speed riding novices.

A riser specially optimised for tandem mode with two hangpoint heights, a reinforced line system and an extended load test guarantee much enjoyment and a high level of safety in both solo or tandem mode!

 The Spitfire 2 Plus is a classy speed rider, based on the basic concept for the previous version. It has direct and uncompromising handling and feels completely at home on the powder slopes of our mountains. The new, very lightweight and robust 15dtex fabric reduces any canopy sluggishness, thus making control behavior more intuitive and precise. This allows pilots to focus entirely on their line even in difficult terrain.

We also optimized operation of the reworked riser with new trimmer design and improved feel. All in all, these changes result in simplified handling for pilots and allow safe and rapid adjustment to the glide angle even with thick winter gloves.

With its new fabric and optimised riser, the Spitfire 2 Plus is intended once again for all passionate speed riding pilots who don’t want to make any compromises on their big day.

Product highlights:

• unmatched large range between glide and very steep dive
• very straightforward launch behaviour, even in deep powder snow
• direct and uncompromising handling through short lines for maximum canopy feedback and crisp barrel rolls
• reduced canopy inertia thanks to the new very lightweight 15dtex canopy fabric. The canopy remains stable above the pilot even in deep powder snow and follows without hesitation on tight turns
• extended control travel, thus making it optimised for speed riding, with exponential increase in pressure against stalls and simple control even in rugged terrain
• high canopy stability in steep dives and turbulence
• optimised design with 3 line levels for less line resistance and straightforward ground handling
• high energy conversion even at low speed
• 3D shaping for perfect profile accuracy and sail tension
• new optimised riser with better feel, safe and easy to use, even with thick gloves
• completely new 2019 design in 3 colour schemes
• sizes available: Comp / 8.5 / 9.5 / 11 / 13 / 15 / 16 / 18 (Twin)*

* Note: Strength tests mean that size 18 (Twin) is available only in the materials and colors used for the previous model (gold and blue)

Target group:

The Spitfire 2 Plus is intended for pilots focussed on speed riding and uncompromising swooping fans, who are also wanting to launch without skis from time to time.

Sizes 13, 15 and 16 are best suited for novice pilots and training. With these sizes, the dampened and forgiving handling is a great help during the learning curve.

This hike and fly package includes Apus RS Hike, Brave 4 Harness, Escape Reseve (size medium), and the Escape Reserve Front Mount.

The APUS RS is an all-terrain miniwing and the universal tool for guaranteed fun for practically any occasion.

Depending on the version (APUS RS or APUS RS Hike), it has a number of uses ranging from soaring in strong winds to dynamic flying at your local site, right through to Hike & Fly tours. What’s more, it will fit perfectly in your luggage thanks to its packed size and light weight.
This means the APUS RS is intended for all paraglider pilots and keen miniwing pilots, for whom the desire for adventure and a passion for flying have top priority.

The APUS RS is available in standard and hike versions. The design of the hike version has been weight-optimised even further. The APUS RS Hike uses a 27g material throughout for the top and bottom surfaces, instead of the combination of 41 and 34g paraglider fabric. Furthermore, extremely lightweight Dyneema risers with soft links are used rather than conventional risers. The 27g fabric has limited availability, so the APUS RS Hike is available only in the red/blue colour combination. Special colours can be ordered only for the standard version.

Orange Cross – squaring the circle

The Swing Orange Cross combines in a unique way everything pilots require from a modern paraglider reserve. It is a cross canopy which incorporates the best features of various types of reserve design. The cross canopy design is pulled down low and, by special openings for dynamic pressure distribution, it achieves a level of pendulum stability not seen before, even in strong or unfavourable wind conditions. The innovative concept gives excellent opening times, but at the same time prevents any unwelcome tendency with cross canopies to glide upwards. This helps avoid unnecessary stress on the pilot in an extreme situation and the low sink rates allow plenty of time to focus on the landing.

In addition to the features essential for survival such as pendulum stability, rapid opening and good sink rates, you will be impressed by the extremely low weight and small pack size of the SWING Orange Cross, which was achieved by using the latest materials. We were able to simplify the packing method considerably, making it very similar to that used for a round canopy. Manufactured in Europe, the excellent workmanship with top quality products ensures a long life of up to 12 years.

In short:

The SWING Orange Cross is the right choice for pilots wanting to minimise the potential risk of injury if they have to land using a reserve. The small pack size and low weight of the Orange Cross make it suitable for use in convertible and/or lightweight harnesses as well. Whether you regularly fly cross-country or fly infrequently, whether you are a social pilot or an acro pilot – with the SWING Orange Cross, you can be completely confident that your safety is in hand.

First rescue with Flap Valve System for fastest opening and best pendulum stability

The ESCAPE by SWING: a reserve of the latest generation is released. Its very rapid opening, unequalled low sink rate and high level of pendulum stability will put your mind at ease even in a case of emergency.

SWING’s new ESCAPE series uses an innovative valve system, which has made it possible for the first time to combine the advantages of the tried and tested double canopy (high level of opening safety and pendulum stability, rapid opening time) with the advantages of a ‘traditionally’ designed reserve (easy to pack, advantage with respect to load).

The principle of the double canopy has been used: when the reserve opens, a total of 8 vent flaps ensure additional airflow into the reserve from the centre. This reduces opening time considerably and improves opening safety. It differs from the double canopy in closing the vent flaps after inflation which, combined with optimised design, leads to greater efficiency. A further advantage of the vent flaps is that they allow compensating airstreams into the canopy, which can counter possible pendulum motion.

Use of a special zero-porosity material further assists opening behaviour and efficiency, meaning that the same sink rates can be achieved while the amount of materials used is reduced. This in turn has a positive effect on pack size and weight. The best example of this is the Escape M which, with a maximum load of 105kg, weighs just 1.05kg - meaning it is one of the lightest reserves with LTF certification available, or even the lightest!

Use of rubber tabs in the internal container is a further safety measure. The suspension lines are attached to these, so on opening the reserve the lines tighten in a controlled manner. This makes it practically impossible for the lines to get crossed. The colour scheme for the reserve chute and the internal container in signal colours complete the well thought-out design.

In short:

The ESCAPE is the first choice for any pilot who wants more than just a second chance. In particular, its extremely low weight and pack size, combined with very good descent rates, suggest that the ESCAPE is destined for use in convertible harnesses and /or lightweight harnesses such as the Connect Reverse, or as a second reserve – in a separate front container or in the integrated front container of the Connect Race.

The Escape’s new features at a glance:

• The double-top surface design with closable valves allows the reserve to open very rapidly.
• The optimised form improved its top surface and reduced its weight, two factors which have a positive effect on opening time.
• Special zero-porosity material reduces weight and improves opening speed.
• New line loops in the internal container ensure that the lines unfold in a controlled manner. They also prevent the lines from getting tangled above the canopy or unintentional deployment.

Escape M: 22m², 1.05kg

The smallest size of Escape differs in several respects from the ESCAPE L and XL. Its impressive small pack size and very low weight of just 1050g make it the perfect option for:

• very light pilots
• competition pilots wanting a second reserve, and
• mini-wing or mountaineer pilots.

The ESCAPE – small, lightweight and reliable, especially when time is of the essence.

This Miniwing is available to experienced pilots only. You will be asked to know your flying background before purchase can be completed.

This Swing Apus RS 16m Color Green, is a great hike & fly, coastal ridge soaring, and thermaling (for lighter smaller pilots). 

Previous owners are Kim Phinney, and Flystyle Paragliding.  The wing is still in great condition with no tears or major defects.

You’re sure to be impressed by the Brave 4, which features the modular Brave ZIPON System, making it the quick-change artist among convertible harnesses.

It takes just a matter of seconds to adapt the Brave 4 for your particular purpose, whether it’s ground handling, speed riding, speed flying, hike&fly or paragliding. It’s light in weight, but it still has impressive comfort and durability, and a sleek, minimalist design in whatever mode it is used.

The Brave 4 airbag module is unique for this category of harness. It is attached at seven points, thus forming, together with the harness module, an LTF-certified, compact unit.
Its damping values are excellent for this class and compare well with modern standard harnesses.

Brave 4-Basic module

The Brave 4-Basic module is a comfortable ultra-light harness, which adjusts perfectly to your body and follows every movement.This mode is suitable e.g. for ground handling or quick hike&fly trips.

Brave 4-speed riding/speed flying mode

The rear storage pocket is approx. 22 litres, which provides sufficient capacity for the most important gear needed by speed riders/speed flyers. Like the previous model, the Brave 4 offers optimum contact to the glider, both with and without skis.

Together with the Brave ZIPON backpack module, the Brave 4 becomes a full-featured convertible harness with an extremely functional alpine backpack, which can also be used as a stand-alone backpack. In harness mode, the backpack disappears completely into the rear storage pocket and there is still enough storage space for extra luggage.

In backpack mode, it has enough space even for “normal” paragliders up to at least size M, depending on how it is packed, and there are various attachment options for ski and/or trekking equipment.

The ventilated back system makes it extremely comfortable to carry, even on extended trips.

Brave 4-paraglider mode

The airbag module is installed in just a few steps and turns the Brave 4 into a comfortable EN/LTF-certified convertible paraglider harness.

Nitinol reinforcing rods ensure that the airbag operates perfectly even during the launch phase. If a front reserve and a speed system are also installed, the Brave 4 is the perfect solution for travellers and social pilots who want to be equipped with a small paraglider backpack for all eventualities.
