A Passport to new frontiers
The Calypso 2 is your passport to a world of adventure, ready to discover new places and routes — both on the ground and in the air.
This glider is a true lightweight design, aimed to perfectly match the needs of leisure and progressing pilots who like to travel, hike and even do some XC.
Stress-free starts...
As a result of the overall design, weight saving construction and leading edge enhancements, the Calypso 2 has one of the easiest take-offs in our range. If terrain or conditions start to get challenging, the Calypso 2 has your back!
...stress-free flights
The Calypso 2 offers precise and progressive brake pressure and transmits coherent yet controlled feedback through the brakes and risers. You can better understand the air and maximise your fun. The wing offers exceptional passive safety but also responds well to more active inputs as your flying progresses and you start to relax in the sky.
Low weight, low packed volume
Thanks to the Nitinol rods on the leading edge, optimised internal structure and line layout, weight is reduced without compromising flying characteristics. The Nitinol rods enable a very compact folding and packing. The Calypso 2 can be packed with one of our light reversible harnesses or a conventional harness and X-Lite rucksack giving a total pack weight of well under 10kg.
Extended weight range
The Calypso 2 is certified with an extended weight range for a greater flexibility of use. Flown around the middle of the normal weight range, low-airtime pilots will discover an easy, well-behaved wing with great climbing ability. Flown at a higher wing loading in the extended weight range, pilots can retain peace of mind when carrying extra gear or load up to enjoy some dynamic soaring.
The Rigifoil, evolved
A new feature on the Calypso 2 is a small half rib with a Nitinol rod and a short tensioning string between top and bottom cells in the leading edge. Like the original patented Rigifoil system, this helps maintain the precise shape of the leading edge, which has wide ranging benefits in terms of flying characteristics. Inflation, stability, handling and performance are all significantly improved.
Optional Dyneema riser
For pilots who want to go even lighter and more compact, an optional Dyneema riser is available. This saves around 200g compared to the standard riser.
