Plenty of mountain walkers, trekkers and pilots who travel already relish the HIKE’s qualities, and now the Thermik Magazine tester has been well and truly bowled over by this lightened wing.

Christian Besendorfer tested the ALPHA 4 HIKE 25 for some time, and if you read his test report you may not be able to resist the urge to try it out for yourself.

Of course we are delighted with this very complimentary report. It adds to the growing dossier of ecstatic feedback we have had from pilots all over the world. It shows that by avoiding extreme concepts and focussing on undiluted flying fun we have produced something that obviously suits pilots.

As valuable as a test report may be for the choice of a glider, a test flight is even better! Here you can find a list of flying schools where the ALPHA HIKE is waiting for you to try.
