Detailed description
"The Rid'Air team's opinion: The Photon is the wing that changed everything. Ozone achieved the crazy feat of integrating the Zeno 2's 2-liner technology into an EN-C certified wing. The result? Unrivaled glide performance into the wind and high-speed stability never before seen in this category. It's the perfect wing for the cross-country pilot who wants to make a major leap in performance without the physical demands of an EN-D."
Ozone Photon: The 2-liner revolution in the Sport class
The Ozone Photon represents the culmination of several years of research into high-performance 2-liner profiles. Positioned in EN-C, it bridges the gap between the Delta 4 and the legendary Zeno 2. It's a wing designed to devour kilometers with glide efficiency that rivals the best competition machines.
Thanks to its 2-liner architecture, the Photon offers direct and intuitive rear-riser control (B-riser control). This allows the pilot to surgically manage the wing's angle of attack on the accelerator, while maintaining a perfectly taut profile. The canopy demonstrates remarkable solidity in turbulence, transforming every thermal bubble into altitude gain without parasitic movements.
Despite an aspect ratio of 6.5, the Photon remains accessible for a sport category pilot. Its inflation behavior is exemplary, and its thermal handling is precise and compact. It also benefits from the latest fabric developments (Porcher Skytex) for an ideal compromise between weight and durability.
The Photon is a high-performance EN-C wing. It is intended for experienced pilots with regular practice (more than 50h/year) and mastery of active piloting. Although EN-C certified, its 2-liner technology requires specific management in case of flight incidents.
