Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews

What the Lynx sells isn't a line on a performance sheet — it's the combination of performance and comfort. Its glide stands in the same row as the Cayenne 5, Sigma 10 and Delta 3, but it costs the pilot less to extract that performance. That's exactly why Bassil added the Lynx to his list of handling benchmarks alongside the Trango X-race, Cayenne 5 XS and Sigma 10. Smoothness, of course, is not forgiveness. This is a 6.7 aspect ratio C wing whose sweet spot sits at the top of the weight range; fly it light and both brake pressure and agility go blurry. Only for the pilot ready to handle a C does the Lynx pay back a whole day of pleasure in the fingertips.
