Description
THE SUPERLIGHT RACER
The SCALA has been developed for hike and fly races like the Redbull X-alps. These are super long distance endurance competitions. The athletes need a wing that is not only superbly performing, but also is very easy in every matter. They need to trust the wing’s stability and safety when they are tired and not that concentrated.
The SCALA 2 light is the evolution of the first version of the SCALA light (X-alps). We tuned on many screws to make it even better in performance, easyness and simplicity. The SCALA 2 is a high level EN C class wing!
With it’s high aspect ratio and performance the SCALA 2 stands out of the C class. It is a kind of game changer.
But even having that very elegant high aspect ratio, this wing is really easy in every matter! The outstanding feature is the extreme stable airfoil. As more turbulent it gets as more advantage you have with the SCALA 2!
SCALA 2 LIGHT TECHNICAL FEATURES
The SCALA 2 light is an evolution of the SCALA light.
We improved the rigging system, allowing bigears, a higher load for bigger sizes and a better form stability.
The balooning has been optimized further on, as well we spend a lot of work in optimization of rod length, shape and number.
The SCALA 2 light uses the superlight D10 cloth in bottomsail: so we gained a little weight reserve for more rods in topsail.
The airfoil and intakes have been slightly adapted to improve performance and handling.
-as well as the new riser and line attachments system is offering more control at max speed.
SCALA 2 LIGHT DESIGNER’S NOTE
We learned a lot by developing the SCALA 2 years ago. By working on high performance wings like the MAESTRO 2, we learned further on regarding sail finish and that small details that improve gliding performance. So we put all our knowledge and experience in the SCALA 2.
