Product description
Predictable Performance. Total Control.
The PUZZLE is the essential first piece of your speed flying journey.
Specifically re-engineered to simplify the learning process, it offers a high level of passive safety and intuitive handling that makes the world of speed flying and speedriding accessible to everyone.
While its predecessor, the PIXEL, required larger surface areas to remain beginner-friendly, the PUZZLE has been fundamentally redesigned from the ground up. The result is a calm, stable, and incredibly reliable partner for your speed flights.
From Skilled to Absolute Beginner
The PUZZLE isn't just a wing; it’s a teacher. By fine-tuning the profile depth and twist, we have effectively "calmed" the wing’s temperament without sacrificing the thrill of the ride.
This enhanced stability is vital for Speedriding, where your focus is split between the air and the snow. By lowering the pilot workload, the PUZZLE ensures the wing remains steady and predictable, refusing to over-react to minor inputs while you navigate your line.
Key Technical Features
- Mylar-Reinforced Leading Edge: Reinforced cells stay open and pressurized for an immediate, clean launch—whether you are on foot or skis.
- Intuitive Sheeted Lines: Colour-coded sheeted lines simplify pre-flight checks and resist tangling in snow or grass, ensuring a safer and faster setup.
- Progressive Brake Travel: "Long and informative" brake travel provides clear feedback, giving you the time to correct your path without the risk of oversteering.
- Dampened Roll Stability: Unlike "nervous" wings, the PUZZLE resists oscillation, staying locked overhead while you focus on navigating obstacles.
- Generous Flare Window: A wide "sweet spot" during the flare converts speed into a gentle lift, ensuring a soft, controlled touchdown every time.
Optional choice for PUZZLE:
The PUZZLE is designed for the aspiring pilot who demands a safety buffer between themselves and the mountain.
It is the perfect choice for:
- First-time Speedflyers looking for a forgiving introduction to the sport.
- Speedriders who need a stable wing that behaves predictably on skis.
- Instructors seeking a reliable, durable wing for student progression.
Major Points:
- Maximum Passive Safety: New profile design minimizes pilot workload.
- Launch-Ready Design: Mylar reinforcement for instant inflation in all conditions.
- Landing Confidence: Optimized flare window for soft, easy landings.
- Simplified Handling: Long-range brakes prevent accidental over-correction.

R&D team comments
Artoosh Ghafourian, test pilot:
"I want these R&D notes to feel like an honest conversation with new speed flyers or anyone keen to learn. Looking back, I wish I’d had a wing like the PUZZLE when I started my journey. It has an easy launch and a very stable glide with no unwanted rolling—hands up, it just tracks straight. The dive is beautiful and a bit steeper than other gliders in its class, and the landing is where you can enjoy some real swooping. The Puzzle isn't a copy; it has its own unique character. There’s so much to learn in the world of speed flying—don't miss out!"
Alexandre Geptin, test pilot:
PUZZLE is an entry-level speedwing that offers a high level of passive safety, but acts like an actual grown speedwing! It's extra stable for all those times when you misjudged the weather, hard to stall, glidy, but when you open trimms... oh boy! It goes down and stays down!
