"We were able to reduce the weight by around 35% which is about 1.5kg! We use lighter cloth on the top- and on the bottom-sail. (34g/sqm) Furthermore we replaced the mylar reinforcements on the leading edge by very robust nylon rods. And last but not least the Ion-Light has a thinner riser."

"We developed a new light weigh wing which is already certified in five sizes. It is called Ion-Light and (easy to guess) it is based on our well known and proven Ion which was built to even withstand the hard and daily schooling routine.

But the Ion-Light is no all-out super light wing for mountaineers! It is absolutely suited for regular use and we issue the same material-guarantee like for all our other gliders.
The wing will be available soon and the first demo gliders are already on their way to our dealers."
