Flying the Odin Lite
A wing with character, versatile depending on wing loading
The Odin Lite is responsive, direct and precise. We designed its size range to cover three uses.
8 and 10: speedriding and speedflying on steep terrain, expert level
A new generation wing, lively and precise in roll. On skis, its intuitive handling, responsiveness and stable non-reflex profile make it a wing that feels connected to the pilot and reassuring. In speedflying, it is mainly suited to mountain use, on steep terrain and steep launches, thanks to its simple handling, short sheathed lines, and light, direct, precise inflation.
At low speed, the smaller sizes are a little less comfortable than the rest of the range, but they’re still safe and do the job just fine. It’s a small price for their responsiveness and precision, and a deliberate trade-off.
12: mountain speedflying and speedriding, intermediate level
Softer and more forgiving than the smaller sizes.
14 and 16: hike and fly
A light mini wing, simple to handle, with fast and precise inflation. A stable profile that is flown on angle of attack, but without reflex: a conscious choice, designed for flying in the mountains.
One spirit across the whole range
Across all these uses, its design choices point in the same direction: non-reflex profile, short sheathed lines, direct handling. The result is a readable wing that simply does what you ask of it, with sensible angles and speeds. It’s a real safety asset.
If you’re looking for precision, responsiveness and simplicity in the mountains, that is exactly why the Odin Lite exists. The 14 and 16 are also well suited to discovering speedflying and speedriding for beginner and intermediate pilots.
More precise handling
A pro riser on all sizes, along with the lighter fabric, gives a quicker, more direct response all around.
Turn response
Dynamic roll precision across the entire speed range makes speed riding and terrain flying more precise and predictable.
Easy inflation
It inflates like any lightweight speed wing, even in no wind, which makes it better suited and safer in demanding environments.
Familiar feel
Intuitive handling for those coming from paragliding or speed flying, leaving the riser concept and pitch performance as the only new adaptation.

Behind the name
Odin translates to Óðinn — from óðr, meaning frenzy, fury, rage, or poetic inspiration. Allföðr (Allfather), the creator and ruler of gods and men. Odin Lite is that, on a weight-loss programme.
Risk Warning
Skydiving, parachuting, speed flying and paragliding are dangerous activities that can result in serious injury or death. Fluid Wings equipment must only be flown by appropriately trained, current and rated pilots, and must be inspected, maintained and packed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Wing performance varies with wing loading and size — the information on this page is a general guide only. Obtain advice from a qualified professional to confirm a wing is suitable for your intended use and skill level. Fluid Wings LLC does not provide that advice, and this page must not be used to determine acceptable maximum loading (suspended weight) for a wing.
