ANTEA 2 is a new-born in the category of performance gliders. A new and improved high speed profile combined with ever-reliable SKY handling for an impressive gliding performance.
ANTEA 2 is a performance wing designed for advanced pilots and XC or competition flights.
Typical SKY handling will help pilots to «feel the air». ANTEA 2 also provides a high climbing rate when thermalling.
ANTEA 2 provides new technological solutions (e.g. ADIPRENE reinforcements, competition lines, new high speed profile), and it still keeps its forgiving behaviour and light weight.

Canopy
The canopy is made out of the material DOKDO produced by South Korean textile factory Dominico Textiles. To reach the high quality and increase the durability of the canopy, we combine several material and coatings.
The upper panel are made of DOKDO-N20 DMF (WR), 36 grams per square meter.
Profiles are made of DOKDO-N30 DFM and the panels for the leading edge are made of DOKDO-N20 DMF (WR), 38 grams per square meter.

The material is made of Nylon 6.6 fibres (PA fibres) produced by Du Pont. The weaving pattern is the so called RipStop structure.
Line scheme
The lines on the ANTEA 2 are of the highest quality and are supplied by the German firm EDELRID and LIROS. These lines have high resistance from mechanical abrasion as well as a high degree of length stability.
For the upper cascade we used ELDERID 7000–080 lines. These lines are 0.75 millimetre in diameter. The lower lines are manufactured out of PPSL 200, 160 a 120 (Liros) and main brake line are from EDELRID 7850–200.
Risers
The risers are made from 13 mm wide webbing, it is manufactured by our supplier MOUKA TIŠNOV. The suspension lines are connected to the risers by means of quick links (maillons) from the French supplier Maillon Rapide.
