The XC Addict’s Final Solution

The Addict and the Mantra have a lot in common. With the same number of cells, similar performance, and the same smooth feeling in flight, The Addict is very closely modeled after the successful Mantra, and , we believe that it is now one of the most comfortable and maneuverable XC machines in the DHV 2 class.

• Comfort, stability, and efficient glide in active air
• Tight, agile turn for coring lift and flying near terrain
• Highly efficient in climbs – ‘High-lift’ wingtip profile
• Totally precise handling for all types of flying

The Addict excels in rough conditions. A well balanced sail tension creates a smooth and comfortable ride in rough air, and super-precise handling makes climbing easy, even in tight terrain or turbulent thermals. It is a wing that you can trust to take care of you in big air over big terrain, and it has the performance you need to make that next big crossing. The Addict’s stability in active air is a direct result of a balanced planform and sail tension. This, combined with its high lift profile, results in a stable and highly efficient glide in real conditions.

In light lift, the increased surface area of the wingtips provides a ‘lifty’ and efficient turn, in a radius tight enough to maneuver close to terrain when you need to. Efficient minded XC pilots will instantly recognize the Addict’s proficiency in flat and effective thermalling turns, and will immediately fall in love with its ability to core the center out of the tightest thermals.

The Addict is a glider that you can trust on speed bar as well- like the Mantra, its stability at speed is unparalleled, and pilots can feel confident flying at accelerated speeds in active air.
