The Ion Light: The main difference between the Ion-Light and the Ion is the weight: We have reduced the weight by about 1.5 kg compared to the Ion. The target group for Ion-Light are all pilots who are looking for little weight and small pack size combined with a very high level of safety and a nice handling characteristic. The Ion-Light is no all-out super light wing for mountaineers! It is absolutely suited for regular use and we issue the same material-guarantee like for all our other gliders. Of course the light construction requires some compromises. That's why we recommend the normal-weight Ion for all pilots who strain their glider extraordinary, for example by doing a lot of ground handling. We reduced the weight with the following measures: lighter cloth (34g/sqm) on the top- and bottom sail. thinner and lighter kink resistant nylon rods instead of mylar reinforcements at the leading edge. cut outs on some inner parts which are weakly loaded. The flight characteristics of the Ion-Light and the Ion are extensively identical. For that reason we refer to the product site of the Ion at this point.
