The ZENO is ready to order

The all new Zeno, in ML size, is now available to order.

The Zeno represents the cutting edge of OZONE paraglider R&D. This highly advanced design bridges the gap between the Enzo and Mantra series, providing an option for expert pilots who are ready to move up from the Mantra M6 and other wings in its class to a true 2-liner. The Zeno gains from the pedigree of both classic wings, resulting in a glider that sits well in both worlds.

We are very excited to release the Zeno and look forward to hearing your experiences. Cheers from all the team!
