THE HEART OF THE B-CLASS
In terms of performance and safety, the GRAVIS2 is the most balanced paraglider in the ICARO range. Handling and its performance are similar to paragliders of a higher category. In accelerated flight the glider is extremely manageable and has exceptional glide for this class.
WHO IS IT FOR
The new GRAVIS² was designed for a wide range of pilots. Especially pilots who like to walk to launch will have fun with the GRAVIS². The new high-performance material and the optimized interior structure reduce the weight to "walk and fly" dimensions without having to give up flight enjoyment. Also thermal and pleasure pilots as well as beginners in cross-country flying who want to collect their first kilometers and XC professionals who do not want to do without the passive safety of a B-wing will very much appreciate this wing.

THE CHARACTERISTICS
The GRAVIS² is a symbiosis between safety, performance and dynamics which make the glider ideal for stress-free flying. A slightly higher cell count, shark nose, changed cell structure and sail tension ensure a constant internal pressure over the entire range of angles of attack. As a result, the GRAVIS² is even more stable in the air than its predecessor, even in turbulent conditions. Brake line inputs are implemented directly and precisely, making it easier than ever to center the glider in thermals.
