KEA 2

Sometimes we Hike and Fly off the beaten track, sometimes we need to fit our gear into airline-size hand luggage, often - when flying Vol Bivouac - we need the glider to get us over a seemingly endless stretch of a forested area with no option to land. Which is why we designed - KEA 2; a light-weight, durable, safe, high-performance wing which is efficient in thermals, safe in rough air and a real pleasure to fly.

Why do pilots like KEA 2?

• It is a highly versatile, light-weight wing, perfect for travelling, Hike and Fly, Vol Bivouac and Vol et Ski.
• KEA 2 is a full-size glider (24.9 m2 in size M). It performs way better than its predecessor KEA, thanks to many design improvements. 
• Its lightness is achieved by using light materials and by smart designing techniques in the canopy´s inner structure.
• It has excellent take-off characteristics which will give you peace of mind if you encounter a tricky take off in even trickier conditions.
• KEA 2 is a glider with a special touch, direct handling and excellent dynamics. It is a real fun-to-fly paraglider that is very efficient in thermals.
• KEA´s 2 dedicated inner bag helps to pack the canopy really small and makes it a perfect companion for travelling by plane (5.8 kg for Kea 2 M + CRUX with X-Airbag + Sky Lite L).

The main distinctive features are:

• EN/LTF A certified glider with lots of passive safety;
• Smart line plan makes for easy pre-flight checking;
• Only 2.95 kg in M size;
• Five sizes to cover take-off weights from 55 to 125 kg.
• The leading edge is reinforced by a combination of Hypalon rods and mini Nylon reinforcements for smooth take-offs and high durability.

"KEA 2 is one of my favourite gliders in the EN A and low EN B categories. Unlike many other wings in these categories, you can immediately feel KEA 2 is dynamic and flies where you need. In my opinion, it is one of the best machines to improve the pilot‘s skills and ideal for all those who wish to fly in the air rather than to float with the air."
