Three reasons for APCO Swift Zero.
- FUN
The “baby brother” of the Swift Race
Same geometry, same comfort — “offering more bang for your buck”.
- LIGHT
Packs lighter
Fixed streamlined tail instead of the long inflatable fairing; under-seat reserve compartment.
- EASY
Flexible cockpit
Removable flight deck instead of integral — handy when switching harnesses.

Frequently asked questions about the APCO Swift Zero.
What is the Swift Zero?
The entry into the Swift range. APCO describes it as the little brother of the Swift Race: same geometry, same comfort, leaner spec. So you get the seating position of the range without the expense and price of the competition version.
Is it enough for XC flights?
Yes. The geometry is the same as the Race, and that determines seating position and handling on long flights. What is missing is the Race's final aerodynamic refinement — it counts for competition results, not for a long weekend XC flight.
What EN class does this harness have?
None — and that is not a defect but a common mix-up. EN classes A to D describe the flight behaviour of paraglider canopies under EN 926-2. Harnesses are tested to their own standard (EN 1651), which covers the attachment, strength and the protector. If someone offers you a harness as "EN-A", it is mislabelled. The actual test documents for this model are available as downloads.
Does the harness fit my wing?
In principle yes — harnesses and wings are not brand-bound. Two things matter: carabiner spacing and hang-point height. Both influence how directly the wing responds to weight shift; an XC wing wants a different geometry than a beginner wing. Tell us your wing and your body measurements and we will check the combination before you order.
Is a reserve parachute included?
No. Harness and reserve are ordered separately, and that makes sense: the reserve must match the suspended weight, the container the packing volume of the reserve. Tell us which rescue system you want to install — we will check in advance whether container and canopy fit together.
