HIGH FUN, LOW STRESS

The Atlas 2 is an easy intermediate wing for beginning and leisure pilots who want a confidence-inspiring wing that still offers great XC possibilities.

The Atlas 2 aims to offer comfort in a wide range of conditions but with enough performance in climb and glide to keep a smile on your face.

  • easy inflation and smooth take-off
  • well-damped pitch control in strong conditions
  • comfortable and reassuring handling with a well co-ordinated turn
  • long and progressive brake travel for a wide safety margin
  • useful ”thermal sniffing” ability
  • improved real world performance in weak and strong conditions
  • extended weight range (S and M sizes) for flying at higher wing loadings

DETAILS

  • Optimized airfoil with 2nd generation Equalized Pressure Technology (EPT) for stability and performance
  • Low line consumption: 3 risers / 2 main lines spanwise
  • Internal construction with well chosen crossports maintains even sail tension
  • Nylon rods in top sail trailing edge help maintain the shape of the profile in turbulence, which means better performance
  • Low friction rings on the brake lines provide smooth operation and prevent twisting and are easily replaceable
  • Split ‘A’ risers for easy big ears
  • Mini-ribs on the trailing edge improve handling and performance
  • Efficient speed system with Ronstan pulleys
  • Gathering (reefing) system on the trailing edge for smooth and well-defined handling
  • Nylon rods are soft, shape-retaining and durable, but can be easily replaced if necessary
