Gin Genie Race 5: Pure Performance Evolution
The Gin Genie Race 5 is engineered for pilots seeking a competitive edge. Developed in collaboration with the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, this harness is the result of intensive wind tunnel research. It focuses on maintaining a clean, wrinkle-free profile at all speeds, ensuring that every bit of glide is preserved during high-speed transitions. The design features a taller aerocone and a revolutionary magnetic closure system for ultimate aerodynamic sealing.
Advanced Aerodynamics & Stability
A major breakthrough in the Genie Race 5 is its ability to stay inflated and stable without fluttering, even at trim speed. By using a structural fabric with integrated reinforcements, Gin has eliminated the "flapping" that often plagues fully enclosed harnesses. The aerocone fairing has been extended in height to align perfectly with the pilot's head, creating a seamless aerodynamic silhouette that significantly reduces drag co-efficiency.
Neo-Koroyd Protection & Safety
Safety remains a cornerstone of the design. The Genie Race 5 features a 9cm Neo-Koroyd protector, which provides superior energy absorption compared to standard foam protectors. The harness is equipped with dual rescue containers, allowing for versatile deployment in emergencies. The cockpit also includes a dedicated secondary pocket for a hook knife and essential safety items, ensuring you are prepared for any scenario.
Pilot Ergonomics & Ease of Use
Despite being a high-performance machine, the Genie Race 5 is remarkably easy to live with. The traditional cord-operated zipper has been replaced with a magnetic closure system, making it effortless to step in and out of the cocoon. The cockpit is positioned perfectly for visibility, and the harness features a degree of breathability to prevent pilot overheating during long, intense competition tasks.
Optimized Speed System & Ballast
Efficiency is key in racing. The harness includes an upgraded asymmetric 3-step speed bar with durable materials and a wide third step for comfort at full bar. For pilots needing weight adjustment, a dedicated 9L–10L ballast container sits independently under the seat, featuring six attachment points to distribute weight evenly between the ground and flight phases.
