UP Rimo 2

3-LINER | CELLS: 42 | ASPECT RATIO: 4.9 | WEIGHT: 4.3 KG (SIZE XS) | CERTIFICATION: EN/LTF A

Safe, simple and yet excellently maneuverable - with the RIMO 2 you get a real all-rounder for training and a relaxed start to your paragliding adventure. High passive safety combined with a new level of development characterize the RIMO 2 as the latest generation mid-A wing. Roll stability and top speed have been further improved compared to the previous model. A newly developed mix of materials ensures robustness combined with moderate weight and a handy pack size. This makes getting into flying fun!

• New high-strength fabric for the upper sail: Dominico D 30 combined with Porcher Skytex 38 HF for the cells
• NGA (New Generation Airfoils) for maximum stability combined with best performance
• BTS (Brake Tension System) for the best possible thermal properties
• Double 3D panel shaping for optimum leading edge profile fidelity
• AIP (Air Intake Pockets) for a clean air intake on the underside of the sail to improve glide and accelerated flight behavior
• FSS (Front Section Support) on the upper sail for high performance and stability in turbulence
• OLS (Optimized Line Scheme) for low line drag and high stability with low hang-up tendency

What's new?

The material mix has been adapted for even better durability - i.e. Dominico D30 is used for the entire upper sail and parts of the lower sail. This cloth is known for its excellent durability, which is particularly advantageous for a paraglider that has relatively high ground contact during training or intensive ground handling. The ribs are made of Porcher Skytex 38HF for the best airfoil rigidity ensuring wing safety and performance.

How is the RIMO 2 designed?

The 42-cell concept of the RIMO 2 has some clever features. There are four on the sail itself: NGA (New Generation Airfoil) makes the glider stable with the best possible performance. AIP (Air Intake Pockets) ensure a clean air intake, which supports gliding and accelerated flying. FSS (Front Section Support) reduces the effect of turbulence. BTS (Brake Reefing System) ensures an aerodynamically optimized trailing edge, which also benefits the thermal characteristics. Something has also been done with the lines: OLS (Optimized Line Scheme) for lower line resistance and less risk of snagging. The risers contribute to the overall concept of the RIMO 2 with practical markings (e.g. for “putting on ears”).

Who is the RIMO 2 suitable for?

The RIMO 2 is the perfect wing for practicing until the beginner becomes a master. Accordingly, this wing is suitable for student pilots, returning pilots, occasional pilots and particularly safety-conscious pilots who feel at home in the A class. Thanks to its maneuverability, this wing invites you to fly thermals - and rewards you for your commitment when cranking with plenty of airtime without lacking roll and pitch damping.

How does it fly?

The color-coded line levels are noticeable as soon as the glider is laid out - this is very practical when preparing for take-off, but also later in the air. In this context, the risers also provide orientation: the lines for putting on the ears and B-stall are each marked with a corresponding label. When the glider is pulled up, the canopy rises evenly and reliably, without getting caught or overshooting. Once in the air, the deliberately long brake travel of the RIMO 2 is noticeable. The progressively increasing control pressure can be used intuitively and makes it difficult to accidentally “tear off” the canopy. Nevertheless, the RIMO 2 turns willingly and invites you to crank up the thermals. Flying at speed is also fun. Landing is also easy, including an elegant flare.
