Introducing the Explorer
The Explorer is a lightweight sports performance wing aimed at seasoned XC pilots who want to
fly a wing that’s comfortable, responsive and performant.
Comfortable yet responsive
The handling of the Explorer has an alluring balance of smoothness and lightness. The wing
is supremely well co-ordinated. It’s damped and forgiving in pitch, yet the precision in the turn
makes it a first class climber in thermals. Take-off and landing couldn’t be simpler and the wing
has an uncanny ability to seek out the best thermal cores.
Performant
The Explorer is also made for comfortable high speed gliding during cross country flying. Direct
C-riser control works very well and the lack of uneccessary C handles keeps everything simple and
lightweight.
Lightweight
Naturally, the Explorer is light, at under 4kg for the M size. In fact, it’s one of the lightest
wings in its category, as a result of optimisation of the internal structure and the careful selection
of canopy and line materials. The wide range of sizes and extended weight range offers flexibility
in sizing choice according to your preferred wing loading.
Extended weight range
Even when highly loaded, the Explorer shows good performance and excellent recovery
characteristics. For this reason, we decided to certify the wing with a +5kg extended weight
IMPORTANT: to fly the Explorer, you
should be familiar with active flying and
recovery techniques.
