-Planchemag Freeride test 07 : The Loft O2 Freeride:

The Loft O2 earned “Hearthrob“ in the Planchemag 07 Freeide test. 
“The O2 is the one that best consumes blasts of wind…. it is the top on manoeuvres: it is light and it has a good power/finesse ratio…. it is the one that you can bring the far in the wind. You can accelerate easily without forcing. For Paulin (PM tester), the O2 is the reference in this group.”
