Sigma 6
Behaviour

DynamicPlus
Its agility lives up to the well-known SIGMA character - it responds to steering inputs directly and with great precision, its "thermal bite" utilises even weak upcurrents to climb effortlessly and facilitates flat turns. The SIGMA 6 responds forgivingly to imprecise manoeuvres.

PerformancePlus
Its more efficient profile and slightly increased aspect ratio pay dividends. With the greater performance compared to its predecessor, the SIGMA 6 has significantly better gliding and climbing characteristics. Whether in trim speed or accelerated, it again sets standards in its category.

SafetyPlus
Even and fast re-inflation without stalling or overshooting - the SIGMA 6 also proves itself as a top-intermediate with the desired perfect take-off characteristics. The high canopy stability with optimised internal wing pressure makes the wing easily controllable and delights pilots with its balanced behaviour in turns.

HandlingPlus
The lower brake pressure compared to the SIGMA 5 makes for sensitive flying. The precise brake travel enables immediate implementation of the commands to act directly, sensitively and meet the expectations of short brake travel.

DesignPlus
The SIGMA 6 offers an aesthetic yet sporty appearance. The new SIGMA graphic at the wingtips rounds off its elegant look and leaves an unmistakable impression. Four selected colour combinations make pilots' hearts beat faster and also address the aspects of maximum safety and longevity.

ConstructionPlus
The adapted line geometry achieves what it sets out to do: reduced air resistance, simplified line control as well as efficient acceleration are the outstanding points. Optimised risers in two different lengths ensure easy and safe handling even when flown by smaller pilots.
