I was a big fan of the Artik 3. In fact I liked it so much that I bought an Icepeak 6. That might sound like an insult but it’s not; I felt the Artik 3 was the glider where everything came together for Niviuk. Smooth responsive handling; great for coring; good glide at speed; […] …read more

THE OFFICIAL ROADSTER 2 VIDEO IS RELEASED
We have just released the official video about the Roadster 2 with incredible footage of the Ozone Team pilots flying in Moab, Utah.
The Roadster 2 is a fully reflexed paramotor glider. First and foremost it is a fun, safe wing that is forgiving to fly. It is a dependable platform that is ideal for everyday flying and a broad range of pilots, from experienced to beginners. With lower airtime pilots in mind, special attention has been made to the launching characteristics and general ease of use, however due to the high levels of efficiency, high top speed and Ozone’s trademark handling, it is also ideal for intermediate, even experienced pilots who enjoy low level buzzing and long XC adventures. The Roadster 2 is for any pilot who wants to progress safely and push their boundaries with the reassurance of an EN B certified wing.
