Gin Gliders has officially unveiled the Genie Race 6, the new generation of its competition cocoon harness, aimed at pilots on the PWCA circuit and CCC-class events. According to the brand, the design goal was to \u201cchallenge the compromises competition harnesses have always demanded\u201d, combining World Cup-level performance with better accessibility and protection.<\/p>\n\n\n

The most visible novelty is the dual cockpit<\/strong>: you can fly with the shell exposed for immediate access to the instruments, or close it off with a removable cover with side zippers and magnetic closures to achieve a fully faired profile. With the cover in place, a dedicated air intake pressurises it and keeps its aerodynamic shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For protection, Gin highlights that the new multi-layer protector reaches a certified peak impact value of 35.41 G without increasing the harness\u2019s cross-section, extending across the whole back and seat area. The reserve handles have been moved forward for \u201cmore intuitive\u201d access when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n

In-flight stability has been developed with the collaboration of designer Denis Cortella: the seat plate is connected to the back via a link that, according to Gin, reduces torsional rotation and yaw of the harness, supported by a redesigned rear keel. Practical details include an anti-forget system that connects the ballast to the harness, an asymmetric three-step speed bar, an outlet for a hydration system and several compartments (a 30 L rear pocket, side pockets prepared for Gin\u2019s future \u201cG-Chute\u201d anti-G system, and chest pockets with cable passage for an external battery).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Genie Race 6 is manufactured in sizes XS to XL, EN\/LTF\/CE certified, with a weight ranging from 7.96 kg (S) to 8.54 kg (L).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparison: Niviuk Rocket R<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Within the same niche \u2014 CCC and XC competition cocoon harnesses launched in 2026 \u2014 the most direct rival is the Niviuk Rocket R<\/a>, which Ojovolador already covered in this article<\/a>. The Rocket R goes for an internal Nitinol structure that automatically adjusts the distance between the footrest and the tip of the shell, with a weight of around 7.5 kg in size M and a certified peak impact value of 41.59 G, slightly above the Genie Race 6. We also previously published the spec sheet of the Genie Race 5<\/a>, the direct predecessor of this model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
