Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews

Scoring it 9/10 across every category, Bassil calls the Artik 6 the "best Artik ever" and the most complete C on the market. The turn is as crisp as a wing a class below, yet the top speed sits level with the Ozone Delta 4 — meaning nothing was shaved on one side to raise the other. That completeness, however, does not make it "an easy wing for anyone." There is a reason he specifically suggests testing it at around 85% of the weight range. The sharp turn and the full-bar glide only pay off in full for the pilot who knows how to command them. So the Artik 6 is less a wing that cradles the pilot than a finished XC glider — one that removes any reason to keep shopping in its class.
