THE BEAT GOES ON!

Here is the long-awaited successor of our bestseller:

• The BEAT 2 follows the legendary BEAT as the perfect middle of the wing’s bandwidth.
• The BEAT strikes the perfect balance of outstanding safety and simplicity on the one hand and performance that will satisfy even an advanced pilot at any time on the other.
• The BEAT 2 symbolizes the legendary “Golden Ratio” and represents the meaning of our brand PHI like no other of our wings.

FEEDBACK

I Flew the Phi Beat 2 Light for a 3rd time today, and OMG, what an absolutely beautiful wing it is! Top landed at a super technical site that requires confidence, and wow, this wing is difficult to stall (in a good way). I feel so much more in tune and a part of this wing that I swear my flying, launching, and landing have instantly improved! The speed bar is so magically light, and the wing felt surprisingly fast on full bar (I didn't expect much being a mid-B, so I was pleasantly surprised). I am completely in love with it.

PHI BEAT 2 Technical Features

There are a lot of differences between the BEAT and the BEAT 2. The ground shape/outline is the same. The “X-ray view” against the light shows the new internal construction:

• Line suspension points moved.
• Diagonal fingers are optimized.
• There are different straps with V-shaped anchor connections.

The intake is different, as are the sail cut and the rods (now as well on the bottom sail). The stabilo is entirely different. It is always challenging for a designer to make a new generation of a best seller. Too often, you want “too much” and destroy the key features that made the original so successful. We wanted to be sure that the BEAT 2 stays a BEAT, but we wanted to make it even better carefully. Please give it a try! You will experience better, more forgiving take-off behaviour. You may immediately feel better handling, higher agility, and more “defined” feedback. The playful ease with which you dance to the top of the thermalling pulk is unique! At the request of many pilots, the BEAT 2 has only robust, sheathed lines on the brakes and stabilo, which stand out clearly from the ground in their orange. With this decision, we believe that paragliding has to become easier again!

PHI BEAT 2 Designer’s Note

I was flying the BEAT a lot and enjoyed its very high comfort level. Not without a reason, the BEAT light was our best seller. Finding some “weak points” to be improved was not easy. Finally, we improved take-off, reduced the weight, improved the reaction to extreme manoeuvres, and tuned the handling much better. Because of the cleaner surface and changed sail tension, the performance improves feelable. So we are sure the BEAT 2 will be even more successful than its predecessor.
