DRAGONFLY
Maximum Stability & Fun
The DragonFly is a stable and versatile hybrid speed wing, designed for pilots of all skill levels. It is the perfect wing to launch your speed flying career, and is equally at home soaring a dynamic coastal cliff or carving a mountain descent.
Building on the legacy of the Firefly series, the DragonFly is founded on a simple principle: Maximum stability, with great efficiency for its class. A totally new profile has yielded improvements throughout.
The Launch
The DragonFly launch is light and immediate in no wind conditions, and forgiving in high wind. Thanks to re-positioned cell openings and the new profile, it is even better suited to speed flying instruction and beginner use.
Handling
More dynamic, yet roll stable and forgiving, it has a direct and predictable feel in the brakes. The roll rate feels responsive, but is never surprising. The DragonFly’s high level of passive safety is not only found in collapse resistance, but also in the fun yet forgiving handling.
Glide Performance & Trim Range
Thanks to an increased trim range, the DragonFly’s glide performance is greater than the FireFly, and it also has a higher top speed. It all adds up to the ability to fly in a wider range of conditions and sites! Reach more distant LZs, and fly in more wind, comfortably.
The Pilot
This is a wing for pilots of all skill levels who want a solid, stable, all around wing – the DragonFly is a reliable partner for your first speed flights and for larger pilots. Available in two sizes, 16m and 18m, the weight range goes up to 120 kg.

RAPIDO 3
The Rapido 3 is a turbocharged evolution of the Rapi-Dos. It delivers significantly improved speed and power with the same stability and comfort as its predecessor. It is designed specifically for performance pilots who need the ultimate in speed and swoop performance.
VERSATILITY
Overall, the R3 has the widest glide range of any wing we’ve tried, with the easiest launch and most stable feeling in the advanced category — by a lot!
It is faster at all parts of the trim range: Trimmed flat, glide performance is measurably improved. Trimmed steep, it dives and carves even harder than the Rapi-Dos.
You can choose unsheathed (Edelrid 8000U) or sheathed (Liros DSL) line options at the time of order.
THE TECH
The Rapido 3 evolution is focused on drag reduction and efficiency increases, yielding increased speed and glide. A new line set and fine-tuned sail tension have effectively increased the glide range while still allowing high stability at low angles of attack.
LIGHT & DURABLE
Newly engineered laser-cut crossports have reduced weight via the removal of material, without compromising the wing’s overall durability. The lighter sail means lower sail inertia and better agility. Durable main surface material ensures longevity — the Rapido 3 will last for many years of normal use. What that means to you is even easier launches, more agile barrel rolls, faster diving carves, and higher resale value.
THE PILOT
The Rapido 3 is designed for speed riding pilots who already have at least one full season flying a highly loaded intermediate wing, such as the Fazer series. The Rapido 3’s speed, dynamic handling, and swoop capability allows pilots to progress to the highest levels of the sport.
WINGLOADING
A range of sizes from 6m to 15m are available. The 6m size is only for expert pilots with previous Rapido series experience. Sizes 8 through 13 should be chosen based on wingloading and experience, with the 15m size being accessible to the widest range of skill levels.

RAPIDO 3X
An ultralight evolution of the Rapido series for experienced speed pilots.
The new Rapido 3X (R3X) is an uncompromising speedwing created for intermediate-to-advanced level pilots seeking high performance and low pack-weight. It is an evolution of the Rapido 3, with increased roll sensitivity, reduced weight, and more precise riser controls. The significantly shorter line length and wider piloting stance serve speedriders as well as foot-launch pilots seeking a more capable wing for both summer and winter flying.
MATERIALS & DESIGN
The R3X combines ultralight Skytex 27g fabric with lightweight risers and soft-link attachments to maximize glider sensitivity and reduce sail inertia. New toggles with optional ball-grabs improve comfort and brake precision, and a redesigned B/C bridge provides frictionless trim manipulation and enhanced riser-piloting accuracy.
HIKE & FLY
The R3X is noticeably lighter, with a lower pack volume for long ascents. No-wind inflations are immediate and simple, and widened pulley attachments allow a more natural running stance when navigating technical launches.
ON SNOW
The R3X’s significantly shortened line-set facilitates sharp, precise speedriding turns and the reduced sail inertia makes for a more responsive canopy. These improvements have led to the best connection between wing and skis that we have ever experienced. The wide piloting stance is ideal for active skiing, and the addition of ball-grabs to the redesigned toggles allow for comfortable piloting, even in winter gloves.
THE PILOT
The R3X is recommended for pilots with intermediate-to-advanced-level prior Speedflying experience. Its weight-shift sensitivity, light risers & sail, and accelerated inflation characteristics are all designed with experienced speedflyers in mind. Speedriders should consider the R3X after a minimum of 2 seasons of experience. The R3X provides optimal ski-performance with trims released by ⅓ or more, so pilots should be comfortable maintaining snow contact at higher speeds prior to speedriding this sensitive wing.
