The Revolution goes on!

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!

Please welcome the SYMPHONIA 2!

SYMPHONIA 2 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.

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.

SYMPHONIA 2 Designer’s Note

The SYMPHONIA project has always been a very special engagement for me. It was and still is the establishing of a new standard: the A class as the standard class. Everything above is unnecessary luxury. The SYMPHONIA is a high performance wing with A class safety. You hardly need more. The SYMPHONIA 2 rises the margin to an even higher performance / safety level.
This is paragliding as it was meant to be: a high level of performance and a very high safety: being able to be used, controlled and enjoyed by everyone.

SYMPHONIA 2 Testing

Mike Küng tests the SYMPHONIA 2-23.
Although Mike tested very hard as usual, the wing was new and still very stiff and the temperatures were low (neither ideal), the result was extremely good.
The SYMPHONIA 2 sets new standards in terms of safety / performance!

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 step 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.

SYMPHONIA 1

2017
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.
