Loading... Please wait...You've been flying paramotors for some time now. You know and appreciate performance & safety qualities of reflex profile wings. Even if you just fly as an amateur, you are willing to try something more than para-parking in the vicinity of the landing field. Long, lonely routes are as attractive as your wish to compare yourself against world's best pilots in international competition or trying to establish some new record. You are not afraid of flying in strong thermals, and agility tasks close to the ground are fun too.
What you need is a top-drawer paraglider; a canopy that will be safe and stable both at top and low speeds, with efficient trimmers and speed systems (each of them increasing your speed over 10 km/h), sensitive controls capable of rapid 180's even when you are storming over 50 km/h with 30 m2 of cloth over your head. On top of that it has to be robust, so that high loads connected with aggressive PPG flying will not deform your wing after the first 150 hours.
Looks like a pipe dream?
Don't worry, the anti-drug team won't be sniffing around you - The Nucleon is real
The Nucleon is an Action/ReAction class paraglider, yet designed around a different idea (proven in Synthesis and Plasma). The new concept assumes linear characteristics of acceleration (equally shared between trims and speed system) and limited reflexivity at slow trim settings. It is accompanied by a number of new features, intensively tested since 2007 and introduced to mass production for the first time.
As a result we have a 100% reflex PPG paraglider with great performance and outstanding safety (comparable to the already legendary ReAction), presenting handling similar to classic paragliders (at low speeds).
The Nucleon takes off perfectly, rising fast and clean after an easy inflation. In favourable conditions inflation is possible with body movement only, without the need to hold the risers in your hands.
