>> New water tolerant lines and highly packable material
>> Easy launch and landing
>> Improved ‘carving turn’ and roll coordination
>> More progressive handling
The Bullet 008 is the Next Generation of Ozone Speed. It is a totally new wing for 2008, with all new materials, profile, planform, and line arrangement. The only thing that it has in common with the original Bullet is the size.
We listened very carefully to your feedback on the orignal Bullet and we have answered every suggestion that you gave us with this wing.
>> A lighter, more packable material makes gathering the wing up after a flight much easier.
>> New braided unsheathed lines are more resistant to damage, easier to inspect, and less prone to tangles / knots.
>> New line arrangement has resulted in a more balanced sail tension, with far better roll behaviour.
>> New Profile is more stable and slightly less efficient, for a better (higher) sink rate in the turn and a more carving, lift-free feel, which makes it easier to stay near the terrain.

La Bombe is a direct answer to the world’s leading speed flying pilots who practice their art in the biggest, steepest mountains on earth. This wing was developed for the pilots who have been flying old-school parachutes for several years and who wanted something more similar to the poor glide / high sink rate characteristics of their parachutes, with easier launching and better brake range.
The biggest difference between the Bombe and the Bullet 008 is the glide ratio. A parachute profile and low aspect ratio means low glide performance, which is ideal for swooping close to even the steepest part of the mountain. The high stability of this profile means that pilots can fly close and fast with confidence. A specially adapted brake arrangement and plan form yields ultra precise handling for fine tuning your glide path in steep terrain.
If you live to ride big mountains and are an experienced speed flying pilot, then you might be ready for La Bombe.
