Design Aims
SuSi - Super Simple - is a small, simple glider; a so called 'mini wing' with maximum of
performance and incredibly easy flying characteristics.
These characteristics make the SuSi2 the perfect tool for hike & fly. You have the glide
performance for crossing valleys and can thermal with ease whilst still dealing with more
difficult conditions and strong winds.
The most outstanding characteristics of the SuSi2 are surely the performance on glide, the
wide speed-range, high stability, comfortable feedback in turbulence, easy take-off behaviour
and the agile yet controllable handling. All these characteristics make thermalling and dynamic
manoeuvres easy. Moreover, the SuSi2 is very small to pack and extremely light.
By implementing our Razor Edge technology, we were able to increase the glide-ratio by one
full digit. SuSi2's predecessor already proved its strength in various competitions such as the
Red Bull Dolomitenmann and the Red Bull Elements. With the increased glide, the SuSi2 set's a
new standard in this glider category.
SuSi2 doesn't only perform better; its flying behaviour is even more comfortable. Exhibiting no
nervous pitching, which often occurs with mini-wings, the glider dampens turbulence
