Ride 4
Good things take time… Long story short: Forget everything you know about the Ride 3.
Pilot Profile:
A true professional tool with AirDesign DNA — a wing you trust from the first inflation to the final flare. Built to last. Built to work. Last but not least, built to make you smile.The Ride 4 is a complete redesign of AirDesign's tandem glider, aimed at both professionals and leisure flyers. Taking two years and 20 prototypes to develop, it incorporates a new 4-liner concept, Short Line Concept (SLC), and a new profile to deliver one-pull inflation, a highly effective flare, and an enormous speed range. Built robustly with Dominico cloth, Nitinol rods, and fully sheathed lines, the Ride 4 brings ease and smiles to everyday tandem flying.
