Detailed description
"The Rid'Air team's opinion: The LIVI is simply the 'superlight' version of the Rise 4. AirDesign has succeeded in creating a high-performance cross-country wing that weighs less than 3kg in small sizes. We love its compactness and the playful character typical of the brand. It's the ideal wing for cross-country pilots who want to hike long distances without sacrificing glide in transition."
AirDesign LIVI: Cross-Country Performance in Ultra-Light Mode
The AirDesign LIVI is the ultimate high-performance hike & fly wing. Based on the Rise 4 (EN-B+) design, it has been fully optimized to reduce weight to a minimum without compromising durability. It perfectly embodies the Austrian brand's "Light with Personality" philosophy.
Thanks to a sophisticated internal structure and the use of Nitinol rods across the entire span, the LIVI offers exceptional profile stability even at high speeds. Its aspect ratio of 5.92 places it at the top of the B category, offering remarkable glide for its class. The use of ultra-light fabrics (Dominico DOKDO 10D) ensures easy inflation, even in the most precarious high-mountain launch conditions.
In the air, the LIVI stands out with precise turning and an excellent ability to bite into thermals. It transmits information clearly yet dampened, offering a high level of confidence for long-distance flights. Its record compactness when folded makes it the ideal companion for hike-and-fly adventures or technical ascents followed by a return flight.
The LIVI is a "High" EN-B wing. It is intended for pilots who already have experience with thermal flying and wish to start or improve their cross-country skills with ultra-light equipment.
