Triple Seven R-Light (S) — Best-in-Class B Climb and Glide, at a Lighter Load

The R-Light's strengths are clear. In climb it rises alongside champion B's like the Swift 5 and Base 2 at a lighter load, and in glide it chases the C-threshold Delta 4 hard on speed. Being lightweight, it packs small and fits well into a hike-and-fly kit or a travel pack. But this performance isn't equally open to everyone. The R-Light hands you the air's information through the risers before the brakes, and the short, linear brakes assume a pilot who can read that signal and answer it in time. The patience the light cloth demands on a nil-wind launch is cut from the same cloth. To the pilot who listens through the risers and answers through the brakes, the R-Light gives back exactly that much climb and glide.
