The wing is harnessing all of the great abilities of normal Rook2 with great climbing and performance while bringing the lightness to your rucksack. Rook2 light is a great tool for pilots who like to hike up, yet they want to use big XC potential of Rook2 wing.

Designers thoughts
With Rook2 light I have aimed at the wing that will be easily carried up the hill yet it will show all of its potential when it is taken in to the air. As we have great feedback on the normal Rook2 wing the light version inherits the great climbing abilities without compromising the performance. This truly is the tool to explore further more either on bivouac flying or just on XC flights that begin with a short hike.
