ARC
ARC
Steep and Stable Big Mountain Wing.
The Arc is optimized for big-mountain speedriding. It is capable of the steepest descent angles of any wing in our range. Its shortened line length and long trim range and long brake travel all enable highly dynamic slope riding, with the ability to rapidly take-flight.

Inflation & Launch
The Arc launches rapidly. It has the predictable and dependable launch behavior that is critical for dropping into steep big mountain lines. It inflates quickly even from a compressed layout.
On Snow
The Arc’s brake range is very long, longer than almost any speed wing we have flown. Its deep brake behavior allows you to make powerful inputs without stalling or over-controlling the wing. This same characteristic makes rapid disconnects and re-landings easy on steep lines, and enables freestyle maneuvers such as riding switch and taking grabs accessible earlier in a pilot’s skill-progression.
Trim Range & Glide
The Arc has the longest trim-range of any of Ozone Speedwing. With trims fully released, its glide is very steep. Because the trim range is so extensive, it ships with the final 3cm of trim-range stitched closed. It is up to the pilot to cut the stitching to access the full trim range.With trims pulled in, the Arc’s max glide is impressive for a ski-specific wing - it is comparable to the Dragonfly series.
Foot-launch Flights
Although designed with the Speedrider in mind, the Arc’s significant trims-in launch capability make it a fun, safe, and stable wing for foot-launched speed flying. Many pilots prefer the feel of both the lighter weight fabric and risers, as well as the shorter line-lengths for intermediate-to-advanced level classic speedflying.
Materials & Design
A lighter system means lower sail inertia which means better behavior when navigating technical terrain at low speed with the wing unloaded due to the pilot riding on the surface. Light risers and fabric help the canopy to remain overhead at low airspeeds. Sheathed lines provide durability and a new neoprene brake-handle design is optimized for gloves, with classic snaps rather than magnets.
The Pilot
The Arc serves a broad range of beginner to advanced speedriding pilots who want a wing capable of true speed riding. It is recommended for those with prior piloting paragliding or speed riding experience. It is available in four sizes: 14m / 12m / 10m / 8m

FABRIC COLOURS AND UV RESISTANCE
Please be aware that the colour you see on your screen may not accurately represent the precise fabric color. Secondly, different cloths specifications with the same color name may vary slightly. Given the wide variance in monitor calibration and the fabric appearance in different light and colour combinations, it is impossible to perfectly represent fabric colour on-screen. If you have any doubts about the colours, look at photos of various wings on our website to see them in different light and colour combinations.
All of the fabric that we use undergoes extensive testing in prototype color phase to ensure colorfastness, mechanical stability, porosity, and general longevity before we put it into production. Once our fabric is in production, every meter of it is rigorously inspected upon arrival in our factory, and fabric which does not pass our stringent quality control standards is returned to the manufacturer. We are frequently asked, "Which colours last the longest, or have the best UV resistance?" All of the colours that we stock score between 4 and 5 on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest possible rating for longevity.
ABOUT CUSTOM COLORS
Match your wing to your style! We invite you to personalize your new Speedwing by designing a unique color combination with Ozone's custom-color template below! Customization will add a $150 fee to your order. Select your color combination, then take a screenshot and click HERE to submit the image, along with your phone number for final confirmation.
Please note that because the glider will be built specifically for you in the Ozone factory, payment must be received before production can begin.
