Swing Spitfire 2+ (9.5m) - Darknight
The 9.5m Spitfire 2 Plus (Darknight) is our top-selling Ski-Flying wing, perfect for beginner to advanced pilots wanting to launch in the snow. It has direct and uncompromising handling, smooth inflation characteristics, and stays centered behind the pilot, even when skiing at slow speeds.
The new, ultralight and robust 15dtex fabric reduces any canopy sluggishness, thus making control behavior more intuitive and precise. This allows pilots to focus entirely on skiing their line, even in difficult terrain.
Swing has also optimized operation of the reworked riser with new trimmer design and improved feel. All in all, these changes result in simplified handling for pilots and allow safe and rapid adjustment to the glide angle even with thick winter gloves.
With its new fabric and optimized riser, the Spitfire 2 Plus is intended once again for all passionate Ski-Flying/Speedriding pilots who don’t want to make any compromises on their big day.
Product highlights:
unmatched large range between glide and very steep dive
very straightforward launch behaviour, even in deep powder snow
direct and uncompromising handling through short lines for maximum canopy feedback and crisp barrel rolls
reduced canopy inertia thanks to the new very lightweight 15dtex canopy fabric. The canopy remains stable above the pilot even in deep powder snow and follows without hesitation on tight turns
extended control travel, thus making it optimised for speed riding, with exponential increase in pressure against stalls and simple control even in rugged terrain
high canopy stability in steep dives and turbulence
optimised design with 3 line levels for less line resistance and straightforward ground handling
high energy conversion even at low speed
3D shaping for perfect profile accuracy and sail tension
new optimised riser with better feel, safe and easy to use, even with thick gloves
completely new 2019 design in 3 colour schemes
* Note: Strength tests mean that size 18(Twin) is available only in the materials and colours used for the previous model (gold and blue)
Target group:
The Spitfire 2 Plus is intended for pilots focussed on speed riding and uncompromising swooping fans, who are also wanting to launch without skis from time to time.
