"The light risers are particularly pleasant to handle. What I really appreciated is that they don't destabilize you compared with school glider, which means you can keep your bearings.
Untangling is smooth, even on rough terrain, and the well-thought-out color codes make it easy to spot the different lines. This kept me calm and focused, a real plus when the stress of take-off is felt. During inflation, theglider bailed out perfectly and got into shape quickly, which is reassuring and makes you feel confident.
Once airborne, I immediately felt that the EIKO 2 was a stable and reassuring glider . It gave me a real sense of confidence. Although it's designed as a glider mountain, it's not limited to that use. I see it as a glider mainstay for a rider like me, who likes to explore different styles of flight : flight hike paralpinism, soaring or simply on-site flight .
In short, the EIKO 2 is a versatile glider that's ideal for progressing while discovering varied terrain. It strikes an excellent balance between lightness, serenity and accessibility. Whether for a paralpinism course or more classic outings, I highly recommend it to pilots who want to broaden their horizons!"Tristan - Alpine skiing intern
