With the PANDION 2 we have succeeded in creating a worthy successor to our PANDION. 
The  completely  redesigned  wing  flies  even  easier,  has  significantly  more  power  and  yet 
even more passive safety characteristics than its predecessor. Even in rougher conditions 
the  PANDION  2  gives  a  lot  of  smoothness,  no  matter  if  with  open  brake  or  fully 
accelerated.  Our  new  PANDION  2  is  a  symbiosis  between  safety,  performance,  and 
dynamics, making it ideal for stress-free flying. 

Target group and flight requirements 

For ambitious beginner pilots who attach particular importance to the highest possible 
passive  equipment  safety  paired  with  appealing  performance  in  this  glider  category, 
the PANDION 2 is already excellently suited as safe initial paragliding equipment due 
to  its  simple  launch  behavior.  Back-riders  from  higher  classes  and  less  experienced 
pilots will also appreciate the performance of the glider.  

With  the PANDION  2,  we  have  placed  special  emphasis on  the manageability  of  the 
descent aids. No pilot must compromise when it comes to a quick descent. The ears 
simply fold back with one pull on the split A-risers, the sink rate increases significantly, 
and spirals are particularly easy to enter and exit.
