The Horizon as the Only Goal: The Art of Hike & Fly at the Peak of Its Evolution
The Art of Hike & Fly at the Height of Its Evolution
Hike & Fly is no longer just about a quick dip in the water after a challenging climb.
Today, pilots seek to take off from remote peaks to embark on cross-country flights. The challenge lies in climbing light, then soaring above the terrain to transform an alpine hike into a multi-hour adventure in the sky.
Freedom Has a Price: Yours
Imagine yourself at the first light of day, at the base of a face you’ve been studying for months. Your pack is compact; it feels like a second skin. With every step, you feel that sense of freedom. This is where the adventure begins.
At Supair, we designed the Savage 2 & Strike 3 combo not as mere equipment, but as an extension of your intentions.
Savage 2: Restoring Meaning to the Trajectory
Imagine a wing that’s barely noticeable in your pack (weighing just 3 kg), but that reveals its predatory nature from the very first thermal. The Savage 2 isn’t just a “light” version of our sport wings; it’s a cross-country machine optimized for high mountains.
-
The 2.5-line balance: We took a bold step with a hybrid design. You get the exceptional glide and rear control (B-steering) of a 2-line wing at the tips, while retaining the reassuring structure of a 3-line wing in the center. The result? Remarkable glide efficiency, even into the wind.
-
Exceptional Materials: Thanks to the use of Nitinol struts, your wing maintains a perfect profile flight after flight, while still allowing it to fold down extremely compactly to fit into the smallest carry bags.
Strike 3: Becoming One with the Elements
Once in the air, thermal comfort is essential. The Strike 3 is the direct link between your sensations and the air mass. This next-generation harness, weighing just 2.02 kg, redefines what a pilot can expect from a lightweight harness.
-
Cutting-edge aerodynamics: The rear a fairing e isn’t just for looks. Developed through our research on the Delight 4 Sport, it stabilizes the yaw axis, giving you a tight flight path and optimized glide through turbulent transitions.
-
Safety and Innovation: For the first time, enjoy a standard- inflatable protector that cuts storage volume in half compared to conventional foam, without compromising shock absorption.
This duo represents the “Holy Grail” for the modern mountain pilot. With a complete
set (wing + harness + reserve parachute) weighing less than 6 kg. The Savage 2’s intuitive handling, combined with the Strike 3’s ergonomic design, allows you to stay focused on what matters most: the scenery and your flight strategy.
