Description

Swing Libra Rs The Game-changer! High-performance Glider.

Based on the successful and proven genes of our SPHERA RS, the LIBRA RS is a semi-light and easier-to-pilot version of our high-performance glider.

With an aspect ratio of 6.9 and a canopy weight starting from 3.7 kg, the LIBRA RS is one of the finest gliders in the new EN-C 2-Liner class. Despite our initial disbelief while reviewing the test flight results, due to them being so good, it is important to note that the LIBRA RS is designed for experienced Pilots who seek the highest performance levels in their flying equipment.

The LIBRA RS offers you maximum reliability and safety in the new EN-C 2-Liner league, allowing takeoffs and landings in difficult terrain, or when there is less-than-optimal wind conditions. During flight, RAST ensures high stability and precise tracking, guaranteeing fatigue-free flying over long distances even in demanding conditions.

Like its “big brother,” the SPHERA RS, the LIBRA RS provides maximum control and comfort for an unparalleled flying experience.

RAST for maximum control in every situation
High performance 2-liner with the safety of EN-C class
Semi-light, compact design, and a canopy weight starting from 3.7 kg,
Accessibility 100%
Ambitious XC flying 100%
Hike & XC Fly Touring 100%

Who is the LIBRA RS for?

We developed the LIBRA RS for experienced adventure and XC pilots seeking the performance of a 2-liner, without compromising on the safety of the EN-C sports class. With its intelligent, semi-light, and compact design, the LIBRA RS is robust enough for extended hike & XC fly tours as well as daily use. RAST also provides maximum control in every situation, allowing you to make the most out of your flying day.

Features

RAST – for maximum control

On paragliders with RAST the canopy is divided into different internal pressurised sections by one or more fabric panels, some with valves running crossways to the direction of flight. This makes it possible to influence the air flows within the canopy.

With RAST, the air equalisation flows within the paraglider canopy can be regulated through defined openings. This applies both when filling,(during take-off) and when emptying. In the case of pressure loss, e.g. caused by canopy collapse in turbulent air, the relative internal pressure of the CORE section increases, while the BUFFER section absorbs the introduced energy by deformation. Furthermore, RAST can be used as an additional support to the leading and trailing edge, which has a positive effect on flight comfort. As RAST connects the ribs over the entire profile height, the construction has a stiffening effect and reinforcements and/or stiffening elements can be saved or even completely replaced by this special construction method.

Nitinol Wires – for maximum profile stability

Nitinol is a shape memory alloy that is highly durable, temperature-resistant, and corrosion- resistant. The name Nitinol is an acronym derived from its composition of Nickel and Titanium and its development at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. This material is widely used in medical technology, and Swing has been one of the pioneering paraglider manufacturers to use Nitinol as leading edge reinforcement.

The use of Nitinol reinforcements in the LIBRA RS ensures a consistently sharp leading edge and maximum profile fidelity. The stiffeners located in the top and bottom sail are also made of this shape memory alloy, which is resistant to buckling, temperature changes, and moisture. You can rest assured that the performance of the LIBRA RS will not be affected by any unwanted deformation of the canopy, even if it was not packed or stored optimally.

2 Level Risers – for effective rear riser steering and pitch control

The LIBRA RS riser features two main risers, each of which is divided. The split A-riser makes it easier to put on and take off your ears, while the BIII-trunk line is separately suspended through a run-through system, which provides:

A more stable outer wing during accelerated flight.
More effective pitch control through the rear risers.

This is accomplished by the differentiation of the outer B-stem line, which causes the BIII to convert only half of the input during both acceleration and when pulling on the B-risers. The ergonomically shaped T-bar, designed specifically for the LIBRA RS, enables maximum control of the canopy through the rear risers and can be easily disassembled if needed.

Big Ears – simplest method for rapid descent

“Big ears” are easily executed with the LIBRA RS, both at trim speed and full speed, even in turbulent conditions. To apply the ears stably and effectively, our development team recommends first taking half a wrap (from the original factory setting of the brake master line!) to bring the brakes slightly under tension. With the shortened brake line in your hand, reach above the connection loop into the separately suspended outer A-stem line (AIII) and pull it down.

Sharknose – for more stability at full speed

To increase the internal pressure of the profile in the front area of the LIBRA RS at low angles of attack, a nitinol-reinforced sharknose adapted to the profile ensures optimum stability at high speeds.

Pro Dry Aramid-Lines – for maximum performance and trim stability

The latest generation of unsheathed aramid lines are used in the LIBRA RS. The special Pro-Dry coating, reduces the line’s moisture absorption by 60% and increases its UV and dirt resistance. The magenta, blue, and orange colouring of the lines makes them easily visible and easy to sort without a sheath. The high stiffness of the line material also reduces knot formation in use.

Airflow Alignment – for optimized aerodynamics

The profile of the LIBRA RS is based on the high-performance profile specially developed for the SPHERA RS. The profile features double 3D shaping in the area of the profile nose to reduce wrinkles. The individual ribs are aligned from the centre of the wing outward in the direction of the airflow. This achieves maximum aerodynamic quality of the profile, which is continued to the trailing edge through the additional use of mini-ribs.

About brand

Swing Paragliders at Let's Go Paragliding

For over 35 years, Swing Flugsportgeräte (Swing Paragliders) has been at the forefront of free-flight innovation. Founded in Germany in 1986, Swing is highly regarded worldwide for crafting some of the most reliable and technologically advanced gliders on the market. At Let's Go Paragliding, we are thrilled to offer the full lineup of Swing paragliders, speed wings, and harnesses.

Our premium selection of paragliding equipment ensures you have access to Swing’s legendary build quality, designed for every type of pilot—from students taking their first flights to hardcore cross-country and hike-and-fly adventurers.

The Swing Advantage: RAST® Technology

What truly sets Swing apart is their patented Ram Air Section Technology (RAST). Integrated into almost their entire modern fleet, RAST uses internal bulkheads to divide the canopy into different pressure zones. This means the glider fills quickly and smoothly on launch, and in turbulent air, the rear section retains pressure. The result? Unmatched stability, significantly reduced collapse tendencies, and maximum control when you need it most.
