Light version of the Fusion, in Porcher Skytex 27 g cloth with dyneema risers. Hybrid 3-2 line layout, with a better speed range, more performance and direct handling — ideal for hike-and-fly.
Who it is for
Intermediate pilots who want the practicality of a 3-liner with the efficiency of a 2-liner; adventure and hike-and-fly.
Strong points
- Hybrid 3-2 liner with direct rear-riser steering
- Pitch-stable shark-nose profile, solid at high speed
- Optimised internal structure, less drag and better glide
- Light construction, more compact to carry
- Certified EN-C performance, with good top speed

The Fusion Light is the light version of the Fusion.
Built extensively with Porcher Skytex 27 g and lightweight dyneema risers, the Fusion Light is livelier, lighter, more compact and has a more direct handling and feel.
We've managed to improve the speed range and the overall performance slightly, making our EN C glider even better. The fun factor and real performance of this glider is truly amazing. Like its original brother, the Fusion Light is a game changer!
We have introduced a pulley on the floating B riser, which gives a true 2-liner feel as well as lighter rear riser control, integrating the hybrid 3-2 line layout in harmony and efficiency.
We believe the Fusion Light will be the perfect glider for many adventures, hike & fly missions or just the perfect companion for your next flight.
We are happy that the Fusion Light is certified, as it is the favourite glider of our team pilots, and it can now be appreciated and enjoyed by intermediate pilots who like the practicality of a 3-liner glider and the efficiency of a purebred 2-liner racer.
Rear riser steering
Fusion Light rear riser steering is a game changer in performance gains for an EN C class.
It allows the pilot to fly at speed through active thermic air. Direct feedback and millisecond reaction time to catch collapses and steer the glider, while keeping the same top speed and improving glide ratio.
The concept is the same as 2-liners, and the biggest advantage besides the direct feel through the toggles is its ability to keep "nose up" and pitch stability, maintaining solidity throughout the whole glide. Either on a thermic ridge run or under a cloud street, the Fusion Light allows the pilot to fly at full bar with confidence and solidity.
Rather than distorting the airfoil, the direct rear riser steering causes a real change in AoA, allowing the pilot to keep flying at full speed retaining its energy, which therefore converts bubbles into lift.
Hybrid 3 to 2-line layout
The hybrid 3-2 line layout brings drastic drag reduction in comparison to the traditional 3-line layout. Ultimately translating to increased gains in performance.
Aligned undisturbed air flow
The Fusion was designed in a way where every cell is aligned to true airflow, so there is less disturbance by the inherent billowing effect found on paragliders.
The canopy twist and washout on the wingtips further reduce drag and improve the lift coefficients and aerodynamics.
Optimized internal structure
Each cell and diagonal were structurally dimensioned and thoroughly computer analyzed to offer the most suitable chord and span-wise sail tension.
The result is a canopy with fewer attachment points but more taut and rigid, offering just enough flex characteristics to give the ideal feedback.
A well-tensioned sail is especially important at higher speeds to improve solidity and resistance against collapses.
Short structural nylon rods
Strategically placed plastic rods of different stiffness and thickness to give optimum rigidity to the canopy.
The plastic rods are mostly of a short length, allowing an easy fold without the use of a dedicated folding pillow. Ultimately allowing an uncomplicated folding procedure.
