Ozone Photon: The New Era of EN-C Performance
The Ozone Photon is the wing many pilots have been waiting for: a 2-liner that fits comfortably within the EN-C category. By utilizing the extensive R&D from the Zeno and Enzo series, Ozone has created a wing that delivers near EN-D performance with the accessibility and handling of a sport-class glider. It is designed for pilots who want to cover vast distances with the efficiency and direct pitch control that only a 2-liner can provide.
"True Performance" Architecture
The 2-line design of the Photon is not just about speed; it's about efficiency in real-world air. With 71 cells and a 6.5 aspect ratio, the wing feels incredibly cohesive and solid. The architecture allows for direct rear-riser control, giving the pilot the ability to manage the wing's angle of attack perfectly while on speed bar. This results in a glide ratio that remains flat and efficient even in turbulent conditions, allowing you to push through sink and headwinds like never before.
Stability and Handling
Despite its high-performance profile, the Photon remains manageable. It features a refined internal structure that provides a "one-piece" feel in the air. The handling is precise and agile, allowing for efficient climbing in tight thermals. Because it is a 2-liner, it is inherently more resistant to collapses at high speeds, providing a significant safety margin during long XC transitions.
Key Features
- Advanced 2-Line Design: Competition-derived efficiency and direct rear-riser management.
- Zeno-Class Stability: Remarkable pitch stability on speed bar for high-speed transitions.
- High Cell Count: 71 cells for a clean, aerodynamic profile and structural rigidity.
- XC Optimized: Designed specifically for pilots looking to break personal distance records.
- Refined Materials: A durable yet lightweight mix of Porcher and Dominico cloths for longevity and performance.
