The tandem conundrum. Many times you are forced to choose the ideal sized tandem; The choice between small or large. But have you ever considered simply having both? Imagine having the benefit of speed and performance in low weight loading, plus the ability to also carry heavy passengers? It flies extremely well at the lower weight range, but can be also loaded to the maximum parameter without compromise – providing you with the perfect extended weight range. The Ride 3 M has the most practically and effectively usable certified weight range (115-215 kg) than any tandem in history. The M size is now the standard size for most pilots. If you are a heavier pilot (>90kg) or find that you are consistently loading your wing at higher end, then you may consider the L size. Flying tandems with heavy brake pressures all day can also lead to aching shoulders and arms. Here in particular you’ll be stoked to know that we’ve reduced the brake pressure to support long and relaxed flights with the pilot comfort in mind. Finally: Performance. For some it’s not a must, but the Ride 3 has simply taken it to the next level. From a performance perspective, the Ride 3 rivals performance offered by high-end EN-B solo wings. The Ride is already known for its excellent take-off manners. But we have been able to improve it yet again. You will now experience the easiest inflation and lift-off ever on the Ride 3. Simple inflation, without the tendency to overshoot. Once above head, the Ride 3 gracefully lifts pilot and passenger off the ground. You normally wouldn’t expect such brilliant handling and agility on a tandem, yet the Ride 3 has it all.
