ULTIMATE non X-Braced Swooping Machine
Rated by: verticalflier (more about me) on 2007-06-23 20:48:40 (user reviews) Review ID:1830

Pros: Great Swoops
Cons: I am still looking for one

I have two Mambas 96 loading them about 1.85 :1. All I can say that for the longest time I wanted to buy a Crossfire 2. Last summer I have demoed Crossfire 2 and put several jumps on it. Then without doing a demo I ordered Mamba 96. It was a gamble but after couple of jumps I knew I had my container full of fun. I have put about 150 jumps on my Mamba since April. This is an ultimate swooping machine in the non-cross braced fully elliptical class. I will take it over Crossfire 2 any day for a simple reason of performance. All inputs are awesome and it is very responsive to harness turns. Front riser pressure is very, very light giving you ability to stay in a dive longer. If you are already using rears be prepared for long swoops. It lands awesome using toggles as well as just rear risers. Demo one if you have a chance!

Mamba 150 @1.6
Rated by: amir1967 (more about me) on 2007-01-25 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1737

Pros: fun canopy ,Sensative
Cons: you like this canopy or hate it nothing in between

tried one in Eloy with DZ holiday boogie after one jump I gave it back telling Carl I like it alot but it was above my level. this canopy is sensatie for harness, I open at 4500 or so lift my arm for the steering line and the canopy is allready turning, I though I was ready jumping Vengeane for about 200 jump but the Mamba is a different monster lots of fun it was a bit too much for me. stay safe if you jump one

Yahoo!!! Mamba 132
Rated by: chopchop (more about me) on 2006-06-21 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1572

Pros: responsive to all control inputs, flare
Cons: addictive - you spend all your freefall time thinking about pulling..

I've got about 30 jumps on my mamba 132s now.. loaded at a little under 2:1. This is one responsive canopy. Toggle response is sharp and immediate and the flare is huge. It is just as easy to fly this canopy around using harness input as it is to use toggles or risers. The front riser pressure is very manageable and the rears feel nice and solid giving you excellent control. The canopy has a fairly steep angle of attack but will float pretty well in brakes and I have used the rears to get back from some long spots already. The openings are decent if you are attentive. I am having so much fun with these canopies that I find myself leaving my funjumps early so I can open high!
