MENTOR 6 Light - Less weight, zero limits

At home in the B class and travelling the world - the MENTOR 6 Light in size S is a hefty 850 grams lighter than its big brother but offers the same ingenious new developments like Zig-Zag 3D-Shaping, the innovative Mini-Rib Vector Tape, Double-B Splits and new risers. Since sometimes during Hike&Fly, you might get choppy conditions, the MENTOR 6 Light also comes with a plus trim in comfort next to the high performance.

The MENTOR 6 Light mainly differentiates itself from the MENTOR 6 in weight. We chose weight-optimised Skytex 27 cloth on the upper and lower surfaces. Nice to know: We offer the same guarantee for this cloth as our regular sail cloths. Why? It is very important that you enjoy your NOVA wing for a long time. Despite its lightweight design, we use the most robust materials possible, and for the wing nose, we have additionally used double-sided coated 30D cloth.  

 

There are no compromises in comfort. Apart from the gallery lines, all lines are sheathed and nearly sort themselves. Instead of "Spaghetti-straps," we use new aerodynamically slim risers, the design of which was based on the Speedbrake Riser. These ensure optimal C-steering and, even at the launch, lie comfortably in the hand. This means the MENTOR 6 Light is easy to inflate, and the weight-optimised canopy climbs even more easily than the normal version. 

 

A typical Mentor. This means that you can expect exactly what the name MENTOR traditionally promises from our new glider: the best performance in the EN B class. An experienced pilot will soon realise that the MENTOR 6 Light gives useful feedback about what is happening with the wing in flight and, at the same time, leaves enough room for manoeuvre to actively fly the glider's great potential. Our new ergonomic brake handles make this even more comfortable.

 

Simply honest. The MENTOR 6 Light’s performance is easily accessible and is therefore suitable for local soaring and perfect for ambitious FAI triangles, hike & fly and vol biv. In strong thermals, it is convinced by its relaxed and comfortable flying characteristics and, for its class, a very high level of passive safety (flat aspect ratio: 5.43). Especially for pilots who like to climb mountains on foot, the combined low weight and small packing size make the MENTOR 6 Light an all-rounder: light on the back and as enthusiastic about going XC as you are.

 

Pilot target group

The MENTOR 6 light is a paraglider with an impressive performance, which has – in the hands of an experienced pilot – very manageable handling and extreme flight behaviour. Flying the MENTOR 6 light does require a level of skill. Although certified as EN B, the MENTOR 6 light is unsuitable for beginners and occasional pilots. But any pilot who aims to advance their sound flying knowledge to another level will find a perfect partner in the MENTOR 6 light. Particularly experienced cross-country pilots who like to fly at top speed for long flights will love the enhanced performance of this glider.
