Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews

How you load the Ikuma 3 changes what it is for. The same-size Swift 6 gets a bit boaty at mid-weight and is best loaded right at the top for XC, while the Ikuma 3 stays agile and dynamic in turns at mid-weight. For everyday thermalling and wingovers, mid-range is enough; for fast XC in strong Alpine conditions, load it to the top of the range. It suits pilots who want to fly XC on a high B without giving up the fun of turning.
