The Geo II is a totally new glider at the top of the 1-2 class in terms of performance
and handling.
The Concept: A Better Geo...
The Geo was more popular than we imagined it would be. An increasing
awareness of the pleasure and sensibility of light equipment coupled with
the enjoyable handling and acceptable performance of the Geo made it an
instant success.
Even though the Geo is still widely considered a great wing, we wanted to start
from a completely new foundation and build a wing with better performance.
What started as a new concept in 2005 with the original Geo, has become
a revolution in the sport with an entire class of wings devoted to pilots who
want a lightweight glider with no sacrifice in performance, handling, or fun.
We feel very strongly that the Geo II will conquer the 1-2 class of lightweight
wings, and is the best lightweight wing that we have ever flown.
Designed with True Performance as its mission statement, the Geo II incorporates
the results of real adventure research and the significant profile, planform,
and construction developments in our LTF 1-2 program made since the
release of the original Geo. With a new advanced profile that is featured in all
of the next generation of Ozone wings, the Geo II has the glide performance
necessary for serious vol-bivouac flights in mountain terrain or efficient glides
in weak flatland conditions. Segmented diagonals are used throughout;
these are lighter than standard full diagonals and have allowed for a massive
110m reduction of total line length, which has in turn resulted in less drag and
higher performance at no cost of safety.
Porcher Skytex 36g/m2 has a well proven record of durability, and is the same
cloth used on the original Geo. Lines are a combination of sheathed Aramid
(lowers), UV treated unsheathed Aramid (mids) and unsheathed Dyneema
(uppers). The Geo II is available in two riser options: standard risers, and light
weight Dyneema for pilots who are most concerned with weight.
Ozone wings are adventure-proven more than any other, and the Geo II is
our ultimate adventure wing for intermediate pilots. This is your tool to make
it real… Designed for adventure, tested for performance in extreme environments
and trimmed for safety, the Geo II has been a pleasure for us to develop.
But this wing’s journey is by no means finished; in fact for you it has just
begun. Enjoy your Adventure.
New Features
»» 5 sizes!
»» New profile
»» The cell openings have been reduced, and their positioning optimized
»» More cells. With 3 more across the span, the top sail is cleaner and the cell
arrangement is more balanced, improving airflow at the wingtip
»» Segmented Diagonals. For a cleaner sail (better performance) and light weight
(segmented diagonals weigh less than full diagonals, and serve the same purpose)
»» New line arrangement and internal structure
What Hasn’t Changed
»»
The new Porcher 9017 E68A is the best compromise for weight and durability.
Your Geo II will last for well over 200 hours when properly cared for.
