Pilots who want to fly even more efficiently with the speed-bar can optionally purchase the ION 7 XC Risers, which offer handles on the C risers and a BC bridge connection system between the B and C risers. These risers require greater care during launch preparations, but allow for improved pitch control. With the C-handles, pitch movements in accelerated flight can be compensated for in the best possible way. This means getting from A to B even more efficiently on cross-country flights – i.e. faster and with less loss of altitude. The C-handles can be operated very comfortably and with little effort.The ION 7 XC Risers are exactly the same for the ION 7 and ION 7 Light. There is no difference between them. They are exactly the same product. There are 2 sizes of these risers, to go with the size of the wing XXXS-XXS (to fit ION 7 and ION 7 Light wing sizes XXXS and XXS) XS-L (to fit ION 7 and ION 7 Light wing sizes from XS to L) You will either need to convert the ION 7 or ION 7 Light standard risers to the ION 7 XC Risers yourself or pay a paraglider service centre to do this for you.
