You are an experienced paramotor tandem pilot, averaging several hundred flight hours a year. You can master a fast and agile canopy. You love playing low with slalom, wing overs, foot-dragging etc. Maybe you take part in high-level competitions or plan to beat some world record. If so, you are looking for a really fast and agile paraglider with perfect handling and little power requirements. It has to be turbulence-proof, so the reflex aerofoil is a must… Then the Hadron Duo is the answer!
Hadron Duo is obviously based on proved and renowned Hadron design. Canopy shape and planform are similar, yet to make sure all parameters will stay stable under increased loads, cell reinforcements and rigging was modified. Risers are designed for tandem speed-system application.
The paraglider is dedicated for the frequent and experienced flyers, who have perfectly mastered the reflex gliders specifics.
Hadron Duo’s “reflexivity” is modified with trimmers. At 5,9 aspect ratio its 59 cells allow for easy inflation and perfect internal pressure distribution. Synthetic rods on its leading edge bring considerably better launch characteristics and stability at high speeds.
Compared to Nucleon WRC Cabrio 42, the Hadron Duo has smaller power requirements, clearly visible by smaller sink when gliding with power off. Hadron demands more care especially in turbulence, yet still remains stable and safe. Landing is typical with no special traits but short steering range.
Hadron Duo as all our paragliders is produced entirely in Europe, at our Polish plant. Thus close monitoring of the entire complicated production process is possible. Hadron is cut exclusively with a recently purchased state-of-the-art laser cutter.
