Risers
The A- and B-risers have different colour codes to ensure positive identification at take-off
and during a B-stall decent. Other adjustable, removable or variable mechanisms are non-
existent.
6.3
Speed system
The GRAVITY Xpressure is equipped with a very effective foot actuated speed system.
When applied, it increases the speed up to approx. 13 km / h depending on the wing size,
pilot weight and surface loading respectively. Consequently, it shouldn’t be activated in
extreme flight conditions or deactivated as soon as such occurs. All extreme flight attitudes
(e.g. collapses) happen more dynamically at higher speed. Since the maximum acceleration
distance refers to the safety behaviour of the wing, it may occur that some harnesses won’t
be able to use the full acceleration distance!
The speed system needs to be adjusted accordingly before the first flight. Therefore, the
connection lines of the foot extensor are being connected through the brummel hooks with
the speed system on the riser. To be able to undertake the right adjustment the harness
should be hung up so you can sit in flying position. The attached risers are best held up by
someone else. It should be adjusted in a way so that the pulleys are on top of each other
and you have your legs stretched out. And you are also responsible to watch out that the
speed system is adjusted symmetrically and not too short so the glider is not pre-
accelerated in the flight.
6.4
Trimmer
The Xpressure has been enhanced in deliberation of the new “Twisted-Tricks”. For the
preservation of its outstanding properties with crossed straps, the Trim has been specifically
enhanced. In order not to create any additional friction, the straps have been kept clean,
without the use of Trimmer. This is what makes the Xpressure the first choice when it comes
to practicing new tricks.
