Product description
Apollo 2 light is redesigned Apollo 2 with lightweight support and a modified internal structure. Our aim was to increase the performance while reducing the weight and drag of the glider. How did we do it? By employing a proven mix of lightweight materials and designing thinner lines in the top and middle galleries.
Apollo 2 light is a performance paraglider from our light line series, ideal for XC and hike&fly adventures.
It is a very compact and safe wing weighing only 3.55 kg in medium size. With Apollo 2 light, you can fully enjoy your air adventures: it features a very easy take-off, highly efficient thermalling, and its light canopy enhances comfort and performance. During long-distance flights, you can reach higher speeds and minimum sink.
Together with Skylighter 4 harness, they make a perfect team for long flights.The main distinctive features are:
- even higher comfort, safety, efficiency and performance of the glider
- high passive safety level
- upgraded lightweight materials for good weight to durability ratio
- very easy take-off
- LEO (Leading Edge Optimization) design makes the composite nose highly structured and formed, but still light, and allows pilots easy take-offs
- the Triple 3D cut ensures a clean and highly efficient profile with excellent internal pressure values throughout the speed range that remains simple to launch, highly durable and yet easy to pack
- three riser helps pilots sort out the lines and makes the pre-flight check faster and easier
- Hypalon & Nylon rod nose construction minimizes tendencies to collapses

R&D comments
At Sky, we believe that constant progress and development make our products what they are. Your needs help us to move forward and keep improving. And that‘s how Apollo 2 light was designed – we combined all the good features from Apollo 2, we modified its internal structure, used lighter materials and thinned the lines in the top and middle galleries.
And here it is: Apollo 2 light is a glider with lower weight, lower drag, and higher performance. Designed to be flown fast, but still highly safe and comfortable. -
