Triple Seven Knight 2 (MS) — A Mid-B That Leads With the Joy of Steering

The Knight 2's strengths are clear-cut. Agility that answers straight to the fingertips, a climb that hangs on through powerless lift, a glide that snaps close to a class up on the lightest bar input — a combination hard to fit into a single mid-B. But it isn't the fastest mid-B. The launch runs a beat behind, and pushed to full speed it yields glide to the higher class. If you're after an XC machine that wins on numbers, the answer is another name. But for a pilot choosing the next wing in the low-to-mid B range who refuses to trade away the sheer pleasure of flying, a mid-B as generous at the fingertips as the Knight 2 is rare indeed.
