Nome: ADVANCE Omega Xalps 3
Info Prodotto
Il nuovo Light-Racer è un due linee di ultima generazione, realizzato per le massime esigenze in condizioni estreme. Niente meno che il vincitore di serie X-Alps. Chrigel Maurer, Aaron Durogati, Toma Coconea e Patrick von Känel hanno partecipato alla gara di parapendio più dura del mondo con l'OMEGA XALPS 3. Le sue prestazioni eccezionali e la struttura leggera e compatta rendono l'OMEGA XALPS 3 la prima scelta per piloti ambiziosi di cross country.
Per colori custom (tempi di attesa variabili fino ad 1 anno)
TAGLIA: 22 / 23 / 24
DUE LINEE NEWGEN
Il concetto di due linee NewGen si afferma chiaramente
Negli ultimi due anni il team di sviluppo ADVANCE ha costruito più di 30 prototipi e provato innumerevoli nuovi concetti. Lo stesso Chrigel Maurer, insieme al collaudatore ADVANCE e all'esordiente X-Alps Patrick von Känel, ha preso parte al progetto, testando e valutando il progetto dal punto di vista degli atleti.Questa vasta ricerca e sviluppo ha dato i suoi frutti e limiti tecnologici precedentemente insormontabili sono stati spazzati via.
ALTE PRESTAZIONI
Facile da gestire e prestazioni estremamente buone
L'OMEGA XLPS 3 è speciale come two-liner a causa del suo mix finora irraggiungibile di prestazioni, semplicità e peso minimo. Con un rapporto di aspetto di 6,95 e solo 63 celle è molto semplice e compatto con cui convivere e offre una sensazione eccezionalmente piacevole in volo: ma questo con prestazioni notevolmente migliori e lo stesso peso di un equivalente tre linee. Queste sono esattamente le qualità che non solo gli atleti X-Alps desiderano, ma anche i piloti ambiziosi di cross country.
HIGH-TECH
Struttura interna ultraleggera grazie a fili in nitinol high-tech
Per risparmiare peso, l'OMEGA XALPS 3 non solo ha la caratteristica tecnologia Sliced Diagonals all'interno, ma anche fili ultraleggeri in nitinol high-tech attorno ai profili. Questi nuovi fili in lega di alta qualità non solo sono molto più leggeri delle tradizionali versioni in nylon, ma praticamente non possono deformarsi. Questo è un grande vantaggio per un imballaggio veloce e compatto nell'X-Alps.

HOW CAN THE BIBETA 6 BE SO LIGHT AND YET STRONG?
The latest technology makes it possible to simulate structural loadings in detail, and therefore choose the most suitable materials for individual parts of the paraglider. The leading edge has profile-retaining crossed nylon wires sewn in. Combined with the Smart Sail System these add significant wear-resistance to the wing. Sliced Diagonals, made especially strong for a tandem, still contribute to inner weight reduction, but at no cost to robustness.
WHAT MAKES BIBETA 6 LINE SORTING SO STRAIGHTFORWARD?
The BIBETA 6 is a completely new design with a complex internal structure. This policy reduces the number of canopy support points required, and the lines to go with them - so there are fewer to sort. A modern profile only calls for three riser levels – again even easier to sort. Then again, we have coloured the A-lines to make them easy to see when preparing for takeoff. All the lines have a coloured cover at their quicklink loops relevant to their level, and both stabilo and brake lines are identified by a longer coloured cover at their lower ends.
DO THE BIBETA 6 UNCOVERED ARAMID LINES NEED SPECIAL CARE IN PRACTICE?
No. The Edelrid “Magix Pro” Aramid lines receive extensive treatments, such as the Thermo Shield process and UV-Protec-Coating during manufacture, and do not require special handing during normal use. Of course the general principles of line care apply for the BIBETA 6 as for any paraglider - damp storing, dust, physical abuse by stones or boots will shorten the life of any line.
WHEN WILL A BIBETA 6 REACH THE END OF ITS OPERATING LIFE?
Many years experience show us that, under good conditions, a BIBETA canopy in professional use lasts for around 1,000 flights. By good conditions we assume takeoffs and landings on grass, and correct care - dry storing and considerate packing. The lines themselves do not last this long. When planning for a use of the glider up to its full lifespan, the lines should be changed at around half this projected number of flights.
WHICH TANDEM SPREADERS ARE AVAILABLE AS BIBETA 6 OPTIONS?
There are four different BIBETA 6 spreaders: hard (rigid), soft (weich), soft adjustable (soft trimm) and soft adjustable with Quickouts (soft trimm Quickout). The passenger can be supported at two positions with the hard spreaders, and three for the soft. Soft adjustables are continuously adjustable to suit various passenger heights; a spring-clip system means that this setting can be altered in flight. This version can also take Quickout carabiners.
HOW DOES THE VARY-GRIP-SYSTEM HELP BIG EARS?
The BIBETA 6 has split A-risers which make it easy to pull big ears. A jam cleat on the back of each C-riser (Vary-Grip-System) makes it possible to fix an outer A-line in the big ear position for as long as the pilot wishes. The big ear position can be adjusted and re-fixed in the cleat. The Vary-Grip-System also enables the pilot to steer normally with the brakes while big ears are applied.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT BRAKE LINE GUIDE HEIGHT POSITIONS FOR?
The brake line guides (connection between riser and brake ring) can be fixed at three different positions on the C-risers. This adjustment is to suit the height and arm length of the pilot.
CAN I FLY THE BIBETA 6 SOLO?
The takeoff weight range of the 38 (100 to 180 kg) means that the BIBETA 6 is suitable for solo flying. This makes sense if a suitable solo wing is not available (usually 130 kg max). The EPSILON 8 Basic-Intermediate is certified up to 140 kg in its extended weight range. For more information please contact your ADVANCE dealer.
HOW IS THE BIBETA 6 DIFFERENT FROM THE BIBETA 5?
The BIBETA 6 comes in two sizes (38 and 41). Modern build saves 16 % of line metres. This tandem for professionals has only three riser levels and will please its owners with a weight from 6.9 kg and 15 % smaller packed volume. 3-way 3D panel shaping and high quality Aramid lines make it a two-seater for the most demanding pilot. New brake handle magnets and height-adjustable line guides also make everyday life a little more convenient.
WHY WERE THE PROFESSIONAL TANDEM PILOTS INVOLVED WITH THE BIBETA 6? IS IT SUITABLE FOR PRIVATE USE?
An industrial tandem demands a high level of robustness and long life; but it also needs friendly and simple handling as well as a high degree of safety. The BIBETA 6 ticks all these boxes, and its precise response to the smallest control input makes it great fun to fly. These features are particularly important to the private tandem pilot as well. So the answer is Yes! Of course the BIBETA 6 is suitable for private use. If it’s right for the professional it’ll be fantastic for the spare-time tandem pilot.
