Detailed description
"The Rid'Air team's opinion: The ALPHA 8 Classic is the worthy heir of a legendary lineage. More stable, more performant, and still as intuitive, it's the perfect wing to start serenely and progress for years with equipment of exemplary robustness."
ALPHA 8 Classic: The Ultimate Reference for Your First Flights
The Advance ALPHA 8 Classic represents the eighth generation of the world's most popular school wing. Designed to offer maximum passive safety, it now integrates a new profile derived from the brand's cutting-edge technologies, providing better pressure distribution and exceptional pitch damping. Whether you're taking your first steps on the training slope or catching your first thermals, the ALPHA 8 accompanies you with complete peace of mind.
Thanks to Air Scoop technology at the leading edge, the wing benefits from a safe speed range and a very low stall point, offering generous brake travel. The Classic version focuses on durability with robust materials (Skytex 38/40), ideal for intensive school use or for pilots who want equipment that lasts over time without compromising performance.
The Seamless Weight Ranges system ensures that every pilot finds the ideal size without any gaps between surfaces. Ergonomics have also been carefully considered with the Easy Connect system on the risers to prevent any errors during takeoff, and new, more comfortable brake handles with reinforced magnets.
