Design and purpose

With great care our experiences with reflex profile have been utilized too. The airfoil of the Colt has some reflex traits, cautiously applied in regard to paraglider’s class, typical use and flight characteristics.

Inner reinforcements, structural cores and mini-ribs perfectly shape and stabilize the high-lift aerofoil. Well thought-out three-row rigging markedly decreases drag, thus enhancing overall performance. Mini-ribs on the trailing edge keep it slim and decrease ballooning, radically improving the airflow. All these combined solutions result in glide ratio realistic until now only for high aspect-ratio competition wings, accompanied by high speed and stability on speedbar. Colt is obedient and easy to turn – a very important feature, since coupled with low sink rate it will help you survive in weak and broken lift.
Overall characteristic, agility and nimbleness reminded us of a young, playful horse, so choosing the name was easy 🙂

As in other our paragliders, the risers of the Colt constitute a complete, comfortable and carefully thought out ‘control panel’, based on narrow (aramid) risers of 12 mm. Soft steering handles featuring neodymium magnets, coupled with ball-bearing SmartPulleys in speed system, will be appreciated on long cross-country flights, for which the Colt was created.

Colt is manufactured with new technology, employing precision of the laser cutter. All stages of production are completed in Poland under strict supervision of the designer himself, thus ensuring highest European quality.
