Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews

The Iota DLS's strengths are unambiguous. Climb equals the Freedom 2, glide at full bar matches a reference B, and pitch is steadier than the Rush 6 or the Freedom 2. The brakes are short and precise, carving tight into the heart of a thermal. It bundles everything a high-B can reach without ever feeling demanding. But there's a condition attached. As Bassil himself notes, this wing only truly comes alive above 70% of the weight range, and strong-wind launches call for a brake input. This is not a light-and-easy entry wing — it rewards pilots who carry enough wing loading and know how to handle strong air, paying them back with top-tier glide.
