PHI Beat 2 Light (EN B Light)
PHI Beat 2 Light (EN B 3-Liner)
3-liner | Cells: 56 | Aspect Ratio: 5.31 | EN B
The PHI Beat 2 Light delivers an exceptional balance of reassuring passive safety, thermal climbing agility, and cross-country glide performance for dedicated hike-and-fly paragliding pilots. Available in Australia from Fly2Base, this lightweight wing combines proven double-coated Porcher Skytex 27 fabric with traditional nylon rod shaping for pilots seeking dependable alpine XC capability.
Why is the PHI Beat 2 Light the benchmark for lightweight EN-B XC wings?
Designed by Hannes Papesh, the wing features an optimised 56-cell architecture with 8 closed cells per stabilo to maintain clean aerodynamic cohesion and high internal canopy pressure in turbulent air. Additional mini-ribs along the leading edge keep the profile nose stable during accelerated glides, resulting in a flat polar curve and confidence-inspiring penetration into headwind transitions.
How does the PHI Beat 2 Light handle in active thermals?
The glider offers progressive, intuitive brake travel with crisp control feedback. Small, measured brake inputs allow pilots to carve flat, efficient 360-degree turns and climb effortlessly to the top of crowded thermal gaggles without uncoordinated yaw or roll oscillation.
