Description
THE BEAT GOES ON!
Here the light version of our bestseller:
The BEAT light sold even more than the BEAT.
Pilots like the low weight and the even easier handling of the light version in every matter.
The BEAT 2 lite strikes the perfect balance of outstanding safety and simplicity on the one hand and performance that will satisfy even an advanced pilot at any time on the other.
The BEAT 2 light symbolizes the legendary “Golden Ratio” and represents the meaning of our brand PHI like no other of our wings.
BEAT 2 LIGHT TECHNICAL FEATURES
There are a lot of differences between the BEAT light and the BEAT 2 light.
-just the ground shape / outline is the same.
The “X-ray view” against the light shows the new internal construction: line suspension points moved, diagonal fingers are optimized, there are different straps with markant V shaped anchor connections.
The intake is different, the sail cut, the rods (now as well on bottom sail). The stabilo is completely different.
It is never easy for a designer to make a new generation of a best seller. Too often you want “too much” and destroy the key features that made the original so successful.
We wanted to be sure that the BEAT 2 stays a BEAT, but we wanted to carefully make it even better.
Please give it a try!
You will experience the clearly better, more forgiving take off behaviour.
You may immediately feel the better handling, higher agility, even more “defined” feedback.
The playful ease with which you dance your way to the top of the thermalling pulk is unique!
At the request of many pilots, the BEAT 2 light has only robust, sheathed lines on the brakes and stabilo, which stand out clearly from the ground in their orange.
With this decision we follow our conviction that paragliding has to become easier again!
