Ozone announce new Speedster 2 paramotor wing

Friday 1 July, 2016

Ozone Speedster 2

It’s been a while coming, but Ozone have announced the release of their all-new Speedster 2 paramotor wing for intermediate PPG pilots.

Replacing the iconic Speedster was never going to be an easy task. After years of testing, we are pleased to announce that the Speedster 2 is now ready.

Much has changed in paraglider design since the first Speedster was released, and we are happy to offer such a dramatic upgrade in this speedy series of wings.

The DGAC and EN-C certified wing features Ozone’ OZRP sharknose profile, a lower aspect ratio, more cells, lower line drag and a new 2D steering system, and all of this translates into an agile, faster, more efficient wing with better handling and stability, Ozone say.

The reduced line drag and optimised profile have made this new wing an incredible tool in accelerated flight. In addition to the increased speed, the Speedster is more efficient, requiring less fuel and less power to maintain top speed.

The OZRP shark-nose profile, along with the modified aspect ratio and optimised internal structure, has sharpened the handling, increased the inherent stability, and improved the sail cohesion – all of which means that the wing is easier and more forgiving to fly, especially in turbulent air. The fact that the aspect ratio has been reduced alongside an increase in overall performance means that the S2 is a huge step forward from the original Speedster.

The Speedster 2’s handling is great fun; it is precise, intuitive, and extremely resistant to spin when being flown in deep brakes. On the ground, the inflation characteristics have been improved – the Speedster 2 comes up quickly and evenly especially in nil or light winds.

The Speedster 2 comes with a completely new riser system, which includes the innovative 2D TST device for improved precision in accelerated flight, multiple brake pulley positions, and extended trimmer range.

Certified EN C and DGAC, the Speedster 2 is available in four sizes: 22, 24, 26 and 28 covering a wide range of pilot weight and power unit combinations. Four standard colour schemes are available, in addition to, of course, any custom colours you can dream up using our colour generator.
