Advance Tau DLS

Advance Tau DLS SPORTS-CLASS RACER With the TAU DLS, we are expanding our range with a performance-oriented high-end EN-C two-liner for ambitious cross-country and competition pilots. The TAU DLS combines maximum performance with exceptionally precise handling and high efficiency. TECHNOLOGY & FEATURES DURABLE LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE (DLS) DLS combines a number of small but important innovations, which together save a lot of weight. The mix of lightweight and conventional fabrics is now better targeted and additional weight is saved through specific geometric optimisations. PRECISION IN EVERY TURN The TAU DLS sets new standards in precision and directness. The key to this is a newly designed aerodynamic twist combined with an optimised pressure point position along the span, which is finely tuned across the entire angle of attack range. The steering feel is sharp, direct and sporty. This enables precise banking control to stay centred in the thermal core. SIX SIZES Sweet spot guaranteed: with six optimally graded sizes and seamlessly interlocking weight ranges, the TAU DLS offers the ideal wing loading for every pilot weight. This ensures consistent and balanced performance and flying characteristics across all sizes. HIGH-TECH EDELRID PRO DRY LINES The TAU DLS line set is extremely length-stable and retains above-average tensile strength, even after many flights. Unsheathed Pro Dry lines are colour-coded and 60% more water-repellent than previous-generation lines.
