Redefine Lightweight Performance with the MENTOR 6 Light Paraglider
If you’re seeking the perfect combination of efficiency, comfort, and performance in a lightweight package, then the MENTOR 6 Light paraglider is your answer. Built for ambitious XC pilots who refuse to compromise, this wing offers everything you expect from the legendary MENTOR series—only lighter, smarter, and even more refined.
Lightweight Without Limits
First and foremost, the MENTOR 6 Light delivers performance that belies its weight. Weighing significantly less than its standard counterpart, it’s ideal for hike & fly adventures, vol-biv missions, and long-distance XC flights. Moreover, it’s made with durable lightweight materials that resist wear, ensuring longevity without bulk.
Not only does this glider offer superb climbing characteristics, but it also improves glide performance across the board. As a result, you get exceptional handling, increased efficiency, and the freedom to fly farther—faster.
Precision Handling with Minimal Effort
Thanks to the optimized line geometry and advanced wing profile, the MENTOR 6 Light paraglider feels responsive yet forgiving. While other high-B wings may challenge the pilot, this glider rewards smooth inputs with precise turns and excellent energy retention.
Additionally, the clever combination of diagonal ribs and 3D shaping improves internal pressure, which enhances stability—even in rough thermals. Because of this, the MENTOR 6 Light inspires confidence on every flight, especially when conditions become unpredictable.
Furthermore, its intuitive feedback and pitch-stable behavior make it an excellent choice for seasoned pilots looking to push their XC limits.
Advanced Technology Meets Real-World Performance With MENTOR 6 Light Paraglider
Although it’s lightweight, the MENTOR 6 Light is packed with innovation. For instance, it features NOVA’s tried-and-true Smart Cells and Zig-Zag 3D shaping, reducing drag and improving performance. Also, the mini-ribs on the trailing edge allow better airflow and smoother landings.
Because it uses high-performance cloth and intelligent construction, the glider remains compact while maintaining aerodynamic integrity. Therefore, you can trust it on both big flights and fast hikes, knowing you’re flying with equipment that meets the highest standards.
Travel Light. Fly Far. Land Smiling.
Not only is the MENTOR 6 Light a technical masterpiece, but it also understands what pilots really need: versatility. Whether you’re launching from a high alpine takeoff or a grassy hilltop, it behaves consistently. Furthermore, it packs small, carries effortlessly, and deploys quickly—making every flying day smoother from start to finish.
Also, the wing’s aesthetic appeal, crisp lines, and striking color options turn heads at any launch site. So not only will you feel good flying it—you’ll look great too.
To wrap it up, the MENTOR 6 Light paraglider is the perfect wing for pilots who want maximum performance with minimum weight. So if you’re ready to elevate your flying, explore new XC potential, and travel light without compromise, the MENTOR 6 Light is made for your next level.

Conclusion:
“Your brain is your most formidable flying instrument, and the Mentor 6 and Mentor 6 Light will allow you to use it at full capacity. Secure and reassuring – with loads of performance in the tank – this is a wing that could take you all the way from evening floater to XC legend. There are always moments when you want more speed, more glide, but a pilot flying at 100% will always fly their best flight. This wing will enable a huge number of pilots to get to that level – and to do it with a feeling of safety, comfort and control.”
Technology
Light as a feather and robust.Very light but still durable: Light weight NOVA wings weigh little but are still robust enough to withstand the hard conditions of the mountains. The profiles are made out of durable cloth, so that this highly-stressed component does not deform – like it can with ultra-light material. This means we are able to guarantee consistent flying characteristics.
Under pressure.NOVA Air Scoop is an optimised air intake, which increases the internal wing pressure. NOVA’s Air Scoop principle is similar to the ram-air inlet duct on a sports car: increased airflow produces higher pressure. Higher internal pressure in a paraglider means improved performance through increased structural stability and collapse resistance.
Flat profile nose. Anyone who tries to fold a piece of paper around a ball will notice that there are always creases. The nose profile of a paraglider is the same – the sail cloth has to adjust to both the profile and ballooning effect (cells are round, not straight). Double 3D Shaping uses additional seams to reduce creasing and therefore increases the performance of the wing.
MENTOR 6 Light paraglider
Optimised cell widths. Smart Cells counteract the variable force distribution within the wing that are caused by the line attachments. In NOVA paragliders constructed using SmartCells, the cell widths have been adapted to the load – basically, intelligent cells. Wings with SmartCells fly more calmly, are more compact and glide better.
Comfort on the ground. All NOVA paragliders are made to be easy to use. For packing you can use a concertina bag, but it is not essential. Our extensive experience with rods has taught us that the packing method has little influence on the durability of the wing. Bent rods quickly spring back into their original shape.
Less is more. Our idea of a three-liner with a reduced amount of line length allows us to construct wings with very good performance and a high degree of passive safety. The way we have conceptualised the lines has made it possible to manufacture wings which are collapse resistant; but when they do collapse, the collapsed area is generally less extensive. This significantly improves the wing’s extreme flight behaviour.
