SYMPHONIA 2 light

The Revolution gets ultralight!

Long awaited and longed for by many: now it’s here: the super light version of the SYMPHONIA 2!
-and it is actually very light!

Around 4.5 years ago we introduced a funny striped A class wing that cost as much as a High B glider. We then also communicated that this wing offers high B performance!
-many competitors laughed at us at the beginning, but now they begin to understand:

Not only have we created a new class with the SYMPHONIA and finally established the A class as the “standard class”. “Super High A” is now in fashion! Thanks to this unique wing and its children, we have also established ourselves on the market in a very short time.
-and no one is surprised any more that there are more and more funny striped wings around!
Thank you, SYMPHONIA!

Now it’s time to top it up!
-and it will be even more colourful!
-and now also available in an ultralight version!

Please welcome the SYMPHONIA 2 light!

SYMPHONIA 2 light Technical Features

The SYMPHONIA 2 combines the unique properties of the SYMPHONIA with some new know how.
The leading edge is more stable, a new intake makes launching much easier.
The mini ribs and new rods in the nose improve performance.
The sail cut has been revised.
Line material and line geometry are new.
The weight has been noticeably reduced: specially the SYMPHONIA 2 light is an extremely light glider.

Summing all up, the SYMPHONIA 2 performs even better than its predecessor and is easier to use.
The center wing is more stable, which improves handling and safety!
Precision and efficiency of the handling is reaching a new level.
Glide on speed is even more outstanding.

The SYMPHONIA 2 light adds our leading ultralight technology to the SYMPHONIA 2.
It shows the same performance and flying characteristics as the normal version.
It might be even more agile and even better in extreme manoeuvres.

SYMPHONIA 2 light Designer’s Note

The light version of the SYMPHONIA was awaited by many. Many pilots were asking for it. Finally we followed the wishes and did it. Now we are very satisfied with the result (and the even more colorful color layout).

SYMPHONIA 2 Q&A

Can the SYMPHONIA 2 be used for basic schooling?

As the SYMPHONIA 2 is an A wing, it could be used for basic schooling, but it needs more time and attention from the teacher. The student has to learn to manage the performance and the high agility. We recommend to use the FANTASIA, SOLA, SONATA for the training hill. The SYMPHONIA 2 would in that relation be the 4th step. Only very talented students should be on a SYMPHONIA 2 for their first flights. Better to strep up to the SYMPHONIA 2 after some more experience.
The A class is just now establishing as the NEW STANDARD CLASS. So not only be used for schooling. It is recommended for a major group of pilots to stay in the A class for the rest of their flying career, as the SYMPHONIA 2 sets no limits.

How should the SYMPHONIA 2 be packed?

The rods of the SYMPHONIA 2 are quite short and not sensitive against bending. You can pack the SYMPHONIA 2 without big attention.

What is the service interval of the SYMPHONIA 2? Is a trim tuning needed?

The service interval is as usual 2 years from the first flight. Please fill in your first flight in the type table. On the base of our experience with the lines material mix, there is no trim tuning necessary: the trim does normally not change significantly.

Can the SYMPHONIA 2 be equipped with the C steering R07 riser?

Yes: you can order the SYMPHONIA 2 with the C handle R07 riser. As for all PHI wings you can chose the riser at ordering. The R07 riser is rising the demand, as it is not as easy to be sorted as a normal riser (because of the free ball bearing roll as the B riser). We are recommending the R07 only for more experienced pilots.

THERE’S NO STOPPING REVOLUTION

The SYMPHONIA is a super-high A paraglider, with a technical complexity unparalleled in this class: 50 cells, miniribs sewn on the inside, double 3D-shaping, brake raffing system over the entire trailing edge, 32g Porcher cloth, diagonal finger-bands, a minimalist line lay-out with unsheathed lines and wrinkle-reducing reinforcements.

The Symphonia has re-defined the performance limits of the A class, through the combination of complex technical methods and the resulting clean finish.
Never before, has this kind of speed and performance been combined with such high-safety and comfort. Never before, has this kind of performance been made safely flyable for such a large group of Pilots.
