About the SUPAIR STRIKE 2

 

Lightness, precision and safety are the keywords of the STRIKE 2. It is the worthy heir to our long experience in hike and flight harnesses, especially in competition. The STRIKE 2 results from the STRIKE X Alps 2019 and has the same main features as the STRIKE 1.

 

PRECISION: INTUITIVE AND PRECISE STEERING

SAFETY: TWO LOCKING POINTS. MINI SEAT PLATE. CERTIFIED EN 1651

 

Compared to the STRIKE 1, it is more ergonomic, comfortable, and flexible thanks to inflatable protection ( option ). It is designed for competition and leisure hike and fly pilots. It can also be the main harness for cross-country pilots looking for lightness.

Ease of installation and safety with the closing of the harness on the two attachment points of the glider. The harness opens completely, and closing is done directly on the carabiners without any other buckle and on only two points.

The new geometry allows better transmission from the wing to the pilot, thin and sensitive, adjustable by the chest strap.

The comfort is complete with a removable comfort plate and a geometry of the speedbag attachments that allows a natural and effortless position of the legs.
As an option, a new certified inflatable protection saves weight (65g) and especially the volume carried in the bag. Ideal for competitive hike and fly.

For mountain landings or turbulence, the harness can be piloted seated, legs bent, and it remains manoeuvrable and comfortable.

On take-off, the run is easy (light harness with leg straps), and the speedbag's seated passage and installation are obvious.
In flight, the adjustments and geometry of the harness allow adaptations to each pilot's morphology and flight positions.

The STRIKE 2 has also been designed to be flown with Dyneema connectors. This lightens the material and makes the leg straps fixed, as for the X-Alps harness. You will then have to put on the harness like a climbing harness. This is the “competition” mode.

 

CONFIGURABLE TO YOUR WHICHES :

COMPETITION MODE: 1947 g (Size M, fully equipped, with speed bar and Dyneema risers, ready to fly).

In this mode, the wing is attached to the connects (option), and the harness is put on through the two-leg straps. The back protector is the inflatable BUMP (Option). The pilot does not use the removable comfort plate or the mini-seat plate.

GREAT COMFORT MODE: 2400 g (Size M, fully equipped, with speed bar and dyneema risers, ready to fly).

Upgrades STRIKE 1

We have made a few improvements on the STRIKE for the 2018 season to have it LTF certified by adding a compact and lightweight BUMPAIR dorsal protector.

WHAT HAS CHANGED :

New closure system, without buckle, directly in the carabiners. No need to put on the right leg as on the STRIKE 1, while keeping the safety of the natural two-point closure. Only one point closed: the harness is secure. The Strike 2’s new geometry transmits information to the pilot better and gives more precise handling than the Strike 1. The riser sheath of the parachute bag is fully integrated: the risers are in the sheath all the way into the bag. The new geometry of the speedbag settings. The legs are supported in flight. The new geometry of the harness allowing a more reclined flight position, with a centre of gravity further back. The harness is more resistant: certified up to 120 kg instead of 100 kg. Reinforcements on the reserve parachute riser attachments. Sizes revised with the addition of size XL. This allows pilots from 1m60 to 2m to be covered with precision and a good fit.   RECOMMENDATIONS The STRIKE 2 is a very light harness. It has been reinforced compared to the STRIKE 1; however, all use outside the flight domain is liable to wear out the harness prematurely. SIVs are not recommended with this harness. The STRIKE 2 is a harness intended for experienced pilots, and we do not recommend it as a first cocoon harness.
