The super-compact wing with short span and short lines is aimed at those who like to soar in strong winds or close to the slope. Skywalk call it the ‘Go-Kart’ of the air because it converts control impulses directly and precisely, and loves high banking and dynamic turns. Nevertheless, the field of application is surprisingly versatile – depending on the size you choose. Tonic2 is not only a perfect strong-wind glider, but also an ideal practice glider for ground-handling, wingover and looping training, and a perfect com- panion for hike & fly. It has enough performance to glide out of every valley or stay up on thermal days. A carefully selected mix of materials ensures the necessary robustness in dunes as well as low weight for hike & fly. A special feature is the trimmer riser with which the speed window can be significantly increased. One thing is common to all sizes: The Tonic2 is easy to handle, fun in the air and tough! Certified weight range: 85kg to 105kg, glider weight: 3.9kg. For more see [skywalk.info/project/tonic2/ ]. Daniel Gassner, Skywalk Paragliders News Skywalk Tonic2
