Other important details
Efficient and smooth 2-phase speed system with SPI
Thanks to its 3 line levels and the choice of profile the SIGMA 8 can be
very efficiently accelerated with little effort. In addition the SIGMA 8
has a variable ratio speed system. This means that the speed bar
travel and pressure can be changed to suit the user’s anatomy:
smooth, 3:1 ratio when the legs are bent, and efficient, more direct
2:1 with outstretched legs. During accelerated flight the Speed-Per-
formance-Indicator (SPI) always shows the ideal against the currently
selected accelerate setting.
Hybrid lines
A mixed line system makes the SIGMA 8 robust and gives it good fly-
ing performance. The lower A and B lines are covered to withstand
the exposure to wear in this area. The uncovered lower C lines and
those of the middle and upper galleries reduce aerodynamic drag,
and therefore contribute to more performance. They are special-
ly coated to provide high resistance to UV radiation and abrasion. At
line junctions the line loops are thickened, resulting in reduced sur-
face pressure. A well-tried Dyneema/Aramid combination for the
brake lines provides a high degree of length stability.
