Faster Performance Design

The shape of the airfoil provides most accessible high performance in all settings of trim positions. In practice, this means lower fuel consumption and a higher rate of climb. The advantage is longer endurance in the air and longer distances flown. In the design of the Colorado 2, top technologies from the higher range of our successful gliders are used. The Colorado’s trimmer range offers a wide range of speed settings, from slow to all out fast.

Exceptional agility

The Colorado is not just a ‘speed machine’. With agile and intuitive handling, it is also incredibly delightful to fly. For those pilots who like to carve turns and play in the air it will definitely put a smile on your face! The Colorado is very maneuverable, with pleasantly moderate brake pressure. The Colorado 2 is equipped with 2D steering as standard. Wingtip steering toggles for faster trim settings (accelerated flight), are offering yet another reason why you will be more comfortable on longer flights.

Easy and user friendly

The weight of the canopy is low thanks to the use of lighter materials. The way of inflating the canopy is smooth with a steady rising. The canopy stays over pilots head, with no tendency to pitch forward or fall back. It is just as easy to “kite” the Colorado 2 even with the trims fully open. When accelerating the buoyancy level is pleasant to read in the harness and can be easily controlled by the steering lines. The Colorado 2 excels in stability in all axes throughout the weight and speed range. Roll movements of the canopy are very well damped and when roll initiated the canopy stabilizes itself after few swings. Landings with the Colorado 2 are easy. The landing flare is pleasantly definable. While losing speed, soft landings are easy to perform as the canopy creates ample buoyancy when making the final pull.
