Ozone Rush 6  Certified in MS and MLsizes, pre-orders available

The latest instalment in the Rush series represents a massive improvement over the previous version in every respect. The design has been evolved from the highly successful Delta4 and brings all the performance elements from this category to the EN B pilot.

 The main changes compared to the Rush5 are:

- New profile and internal structure
– Hybrid 3/2 line design with 2 lines at the wingtip
– ACR system for riser steering (from the Mantra and Delta series)
– Slightly higher aspect ratio (5.7)
– Lighter glider weight
– Better inflation in low winds

 TOP OF CLASS

The Rush 6 is a top of class Sport-Performance-Intermediate wing that has been developed with the same technology used in our performance wings including the Enzo 3 and Zeno in addition to several new innovative features. An extensive period of performance glide testing allowed us to evaluate the R6 against class-leading wings from other manufacturers. The results have proven significant gains, especially in accelerated glide performance.

TRUE PERFORMANCE
Like our performance and competition wings, the R6 excels in active air and challenging conditions. Hundreds of hours test flying in real air and turbulent conditions have gone into the development, ensuring that it satisfies our own demanding requirements along with the True Performance design goals – real, usable performance in turbulent air throughout the speed range.

DESIGN
The R&D team focused on the structural integrity of the wing to ensure an even more solid, compact, and confidence-inspiring feel compared to the Rush 5. Added structural solidity makes the wing more comfortable and improves performance in turbulent conditions. Compared to previous generation wings, the R6 profile retains its shape better in active air, allowing the wing to cut through turbulence with greater efficiency.

TECH
The R6 retains a moderate Aspect Ratio for ease of use and higher levels of passive safety. Performance gains have come as a result of optimisations in the line layout and next-gen 3D shaping which splits the leading edge into three distinct sections for a clean, wrinkle-free surface. Enhanced panel shaping and TE mini-ribs have also reduced parasitic drag. A new optimised Shark Nose profile aids in all categories including stability, comfort, performance, and the brake range – making it extremely resistant to accidental spin or stall.

IN THE AIR
A solid, high-performance wing is not the whole story; fun is the reason we fly. The R&D team concentrated on the handling and spent a lot of time optimising feedback and turn coordination. We wanted a wing with a direct feel and linear progression in the first part of the range, whilst being responsive and forgiving in the second part. The result is an efficient climb, flat turns with minimal brake input, and increased efficiency in light lift. The responsiveness in the second part of the brake range allows easier control in strong cores.

THE PILOT
Although certified EN B, the R6 is not suitable for beginner pilots. It is meant for experienced intermediate recreational pilots and XC enthusiasts who fly at least 50 hours per year.
