:: THRUST 2009 ::
 
The Thrust - our purpose built paramotor wing now seriously improved for the coming season. Last year's best seller is now an even greater wing. Renamed THRUST 2009 (or for short THRUST 09)
Thrust has claimed worldwide fame as one of the most desirable paramotor wings. After serving for a number of years it is  time to launch a new, updated version of this great wing
It is based on the philosophy of Thrust, but we have incorporated all the latest, cutting edge materials and innovations to make it a better performing, longer lasting, easier handling, much lighter wing
Thrust 09 is now made from the new lightweight Gelvenor siliconised cloth with optional 5 Year/500 hour warranty, shedding 500gr. of its weight. 
 
New, sophisticated FLEXON® batten system incorporated (see below) - replacing mylar reinforcement on L/E - another 300gr. gone from weight of the glider.
 
Thrust 2009 is lighter by almost one kilo - thanks to the new cloth and sophisticated FLEXON® system - a dramatic change with far reaching consequences for launch and safety.
New FLEXON® batten system is virtually indestructable and will guarantee evenly excellent launch and performance over the lifespan of the glider
Thrust 09 now the no.1 easiest launching, lightest paramotor wing around, without sacrificing any of its legendary durability
 
  • Further evolution of APCO exclusive HIT® valve system - insures excellent stability at all speeds
  • Trim tab - new non-slip, easy lock
  • Brake handle with swivel and neodynium magnets, inline with our latest technology
  • Newly, revised color design making it more appealing, stands out in the crowd (see colors in right column)
 
Thrust 2009 available in 4 sizes from S to XL size (certified for free flight and paramotor use)
( AFNOR/CEN certification carried over from Thrust)
