Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews

The Ion 6's strengths are plain. Low workload and thick passive safety let a pilot stay in the air for a long time without tensing up, with energy left to spare at landing. But read that comfort as slackness and you misjudge the wing. The glide is seriously aimed at XC, and the 11 km/h margin above trim together with a precise brake become real tools for a pilot ready to earn distance. The Ion 6 isn't a good wing because it's easy — it's a good wing because it doesn't tire you, and so it takes you further.
