Description :

For you, trekkers, mountain addicts and lazy guys, MAC has created a full mountain dedicated glider. Mountain is not simply a lighter Eden. A completely new concept has been created. A new profil has been choosen: for difficult launches in very small areas, the glider goes-up very fast. In strong wind, it doesn't tow you away, you can afford good canopy control. With a tail wind, the canopy, doesn't pass you, and it lifts you up very fast. It can help a lot in deep snow! As soon as you start to inflate the glider, it gives you excellent feedback, and you know exactly how things are going on: less time wasted controlling the glider by eye, while loosing precious meters! The lines are short and few enough to help you prepare the glider on rocks or ice, and help to a fast start. All shock tests has been passed like on any other serial glider. The risers allow "B" stall, and the brake handles are big enough to pass big winter gloves. In the air, the glider is very easy, and behaves very well in turbulence. The accelerator is very efficient, and the canopy remains very solid at top speed. The Montain can even be ordered in a special super light version, 350Gr lighter...
