- The combination of all these refinements improves the wing's behaviour and performance. The feeling at the controls is more linear and more direct, it's the
- This is the most noticeable difference, giving greater agility and steering precision. Top speed has also been increased, and smoothness is improved throughout the speed range.
We pay a lot of attention to this category of wings because they are used by many pilots with very different profiles, and the Z7 is the most complete wing we have produced in this 'true B' category. It's really fun to fly, capable of taking you cross-country, and all with the highest level of passive safety you'll find in the category.
The fabrics used on the Z6 have proved to be light and durable, which is why we've chosen to keep them. The lower lines are now sheathed and in different colours, and combined with new, easier-to-use risers, they help to make preparation for take-off as simple as possible.
The weight of the wing is identical to that of its predecessor, which is still light enough to provide excellent inflation in all conditions. We've paid particular attention to the design of the leading edge, with new reinforcements designed to increase the strength of the leading edge throughout the speed range. In particular, these new reinforcements eliminate the flutter effect in accelerated flight, improving glide ratio at high speeds.
The Pilot :
The Z7 is aimed at pilots who fly around 30 to 50 hours a year and are looking for a glider they can rely on for their first cross-country flights, with a high level of passive safety.

- Leasy B paragliders (enB-)They allow you to tackle the first transitions with confidence, and will react more quickly than school sails during pitch, roll and wing manoeuvres.
- Paragliders in B are available as soon as you have your pilot's licence. The pleasure of gliding is now just a wing's length away :) They help you get a better feel for thermals, and tighten your core so you can fly efficiently from thermal to thermal. Most of them are available in a light version, with thin dyneema risers and lightweight fabric. This considerably reduces storage volume, so they can be slipped into the smallest of rucksacks to suit hike-and-fly paragliding, cross-country flying, or your luggage to accompany your travels!
- enB+ paragliders are even faster and livelier. Typically cross-country, they are designed for pilots who are already attacking thermals and who have accumulated a good number of flights. The piloting becomes precise and dynamic, the maximum speed high, and you experience a real pleasure of gliding. Their finesse means you can hang up at the best of your transitions... Still enB approved, it is however recommended that you have already completed a pilot training course (SIV) and have compiled 50 hours of flying time per year to be able to use this type of glider. Fans of bivouac flying will also find what they're looking for in this range, as lightweight versions are also available!
