Swing Paragliders 
Spitfire 2 Plus
The SPITFIRE has established itself over recent years as the benchmark in speed riding and this glider is an icon in its category. With some further tweaking and refinement we now have the Spitfire 2 Plus which takes the speed riding glider to further heights. It has a new lightweight 15Dtex fabric which has the effect of reducing any canopy 'sluggishness', allowing the pilot to benefit from more intuitive and precise control.

It's no exaggeration to say that Swing are pre-eminent in the speed riding arena, and the Spitfire 2 plus simply bolsters this reputation further. Here is a wing for the dedicated speed rider who wants direct uncompromising handling.
Even the risers have had an update, with a new trimmer design and better feel, allowing for safe and accurate adjustment of the glide angle even with thick winter gloves on.
Product Highlights:
- Unmatched range between glide and steep dive
- Unequivicol launch behavoir, even in deep powder
- Direct and uncompromising handling, achieved through short lines giving maximum feedback and crisp barrel rolls
- Reduced canopy inertia due to the new lightweight 15Dtex fabric, allowing the wing to remain stable above the pilot in deep powder and to follow without delay in tight turns
- Extended control travel, optimised for speed riding with an expotential increase in pressure to gaurd against stalls and allowing for simple control even in complicated terrain
- High canopy stability in steep dives and turbulence
- Optimised 3 line design for less line resistance and better ground handling
- High energy conversion, even at low speeds
- 3D shaping for a perfect profile and sail tension
- New optimised risers with a better feel and ease of use, even with thick gloves
- New 2019 design in 3 colour schemes
- Sizes available: Comp / 8.5 / 9.5 / 11 / 13 / 15 / 16 / 18 (Twin)*
* Note: The 18 (Twin) is only available in the materials and colours used in the previous model (gold and blue)
Target Group:
The Spitfire 2 Plus is intended for pilots focussed on speed riding and fans of uncompromising 'swooping' who occasionally would also like to launch without skis.
Sizes 13, 15 and 16 are best suited for novice pilots and for training. These sizes have more dampened and forgiving handling which is a real benefit during the learning process.
