The Ultimate School Wing, the Atom 3 replaces the Element series of intro school gliders. This incredibly safe and solid wing is designed for all levels of student training from first flights to soaring, top landing, thermalling and qualification. This new design is based on what we have learned during fifteen years of basic and student wing R&D, and although it may be one of the safest and simplest-to-use wings that we have ever flown, it is complex in its simplicity.
The Atom 3 is now available for order in the S, M, and L sizes, with other sizes to follow shortly. Cheers from all the team!

The Mojo 5 is now available to order in the M size, with other sizes to follow shortly.
The all new Mojo 5 is lighter, easier to launch and fly, and more comfortable in the air than the Mojo 4. The Mojo 5 may be the 5th in the series, but this iteration is completely new, and was designed from the ground up to redefine this specific class of wing. The mission was to offer the highest level of performance in the beginner category without compromise in the safety and ease of use. Passive safety is even further improved over the Mojo 4, and at the same time we have refined the launch behaviour and upped the glide performance. From new school graduates to relaxed paragliding veterans, the Mojo 5 provides the most relaxing platform in the Ozone range for all-around fun flying, and basic XC missions.
We hope you enjoy this wing as much as we have enjoyed developing it. Cheers from all the team!
