Swing Arcus 2 RS: A Low-B With the Composure of a Meditating Monk

The Arcus 2 RS has clear strengths: high passive safety, a forgiving brake that never hits back even when pulled deep, and a composure that holds steady through turbulence. Whatever conditions you throw at it, it takes them like a monk. That composure comes at a price. Calmer than the competition also means it passes less of the air's movement back to the pilot. For someone who wants active feedback to read a thermal, it can feel a touch muted. But the rougher the air turns, the more that muteness becomes steadiness. For the beginner picking a first EN-B, and for the pilot trying to lower their heart rate in alpine turbulence, that flatness isn't a weakness — it's exactly the reason to choose this wing.
