The SIGMA 8
Discover free riding
As a top-performance intermediate with a high fun-factor the SIGMA 8
is the definitive Cross Country Free Rider: sportiness and dynamic
handling paired with performance, enriched with the latest technology,
reduced to minimum weight. This wing is just waiting to take you on
new flying adventures, to leave your well-worn paths and investigate
some fresh countryside.
Outstanding features
Uncompromising 3-Liner
The SIGMA 8 is a true three liner with much less drag and the best
possible compromise of performance/handling and aspect ratio. The
noticeable balanced pitching quality allows the glider to operate at a
glide ratio of 10 and a top speed of 55 km/h even in turbulent air. The
reduction to 3 line levels also means that the SIGMA 8 can be more
easily and efficiently accelerated.
High fun factor
The origin of the lively-sporty handling lies in ideal lift distribution
combined with the specially selected new profile. This also makes the
SIGMA 8 behave more quietly in pitch and roll as well as providing
nicer turning and improved circling. The result is more direct and pre-
cise manoeuvering in all dimensions.
New technology inside
The inside of the SIGMA 8 is evolutionary: an analysis of the structure
with a focus on weight reduction and the inclusion of the latest tech-
nology such as Nylon wires make the SIGMA 8 to one of the lightest
of its class. The end result is knock-on benefits - less canopy inertia,
therefore even better pitch control and ultimately more passive safety.
