Prymus 3 | Ellus 3 | Synergy 4 | Torck | Koala

 

From humble beginnings, SOL has grown to be a world leader in paraglider technology and manufacturing. SOL is focused on keeping its factory updated with the best machines and equipment on the market. This leads to more accurate production and quality control processes and guarantees a quality product that carries the SOL logo in over 120 countries.

SOL is one the few paraglider companies to actually own its factory. Besides testing each glider manufactured before shipping to the customer, in-house manufacturing allows an unprecedented guarantee and the necessary trustworthiness for great flying performance.

In 2004 SOL Paragliders was certified by the DHV - the most respected paraglider organization in the industry. The certification verifies the factory has the ability to faithfully produce the equipment to the levels of DHV testing. Few factories in the world have this certification for paraglider production and SOL was one of the first to get it.

If you are interested in one of the other SOL paragliders not listed here such as the Super Sonic, Tracer or Kangaroo 3, please let us know.
 

  SOL Prymus 3 Paraglider  $2849                                                                                                                     Return to top
 

The SOL Prymus continues to develop into a new version. The Prymus 3 was created to be used in schools, by beginners and regular pilots that like safety.

The goal was to design a paraglider that allows the pilot to feel the magic of flying while enjoying endless hours in the air. And with time to start making cross country flights and even potentially explore the world of acrobatics flying.

Another product from SOL that incorporates the 16 years experience of their developing team along with the most important competition results and world records gained with SOL equipment.

All the desired characteristics for this class are found in the SOL Prymus 3. The exceptional performance and handling allow the pilot to evolve without the need to change equipment. The SOL Prymus 3 offers much more than many gliders in its class.

• Easy inflation and takeoff.
• Long and tolerant brake length.
• Excellent and precise handling.
• High internal pressure.
• Stability even in high speed.
• Light reaction during extreme maneuvers.
• Good passive safety.
• Great behavior in thermals.

The Prymus 3 is the result of the excellent union between easy use and safety.

  SOL Ellus 3 Paraglider  $2999                                                                                                                                                           Return to top
  The Ellus 3 is the latest incarnation of the "best selling" Ellus series. Applying 18 years of experience combined with 14 months of development, SOL went all out to create a glider without compromise. To succeed the Ellus 2, SOL developed a paraglider that has more performance, comfort and is easier to handle.

Many hours were spent in developing and testing so that you, as a pilot, would be able to fly even more. Multiple prototypes. Multiple test flights. Multiple hours pouring over research data.

The SOL Ellus 3 is innovative amongst other paragliders in its class for presenting a bigger aspect ratio. This combination between real and projected measurements results in a stable paraglider, easy to handle and with an excellent performance. Both weak and strong conditions can be enjoyed with more comfort.

The Ellus 3 incorporates new technologies developed by SOL which are used in the aerobatic canopies and in competitions.

• Long and tolerating brake length.
• Excellent and precise handling.
• High internal pressure.
• Stability in full speed.
• Light reactions in extreme conditions.
• Good passive safety.
• Excellent take off characteristics, even in nil wind.
• Comfortable piloting.
• Good behavior in thermals.

  SOL Synergy 4 Paraglider  $3199                                                                                                                                  Return to top
 

The Synergy 4 offers a huge level of comfort and performance in its class. A combination of a major flat A/R and compatible projected A/R frames a well-balanced arc that climbs easily in thermals and an excellent stability whether accelerated or not.

The Synergy 4 make use of the technology implemented in the SOL competition, world record and acro wings where the materials and the projects are exposed to the most complex, extreme conditions. The Synergy 4 offers performance and agility for the pilot who looks for long cross country flights or 'free-style' flying in a DHV 2 glider.

Pilots that usually fly more basic gliders should easily adapt to the Synergy 4. They will notice a huge improvement on performance and should initially fly the wing in smooth conditions to get used to the added speed and agility. Intermediate pilots should immediately feel at ease with the increased performance. More advanced pilots used to flying higher aspect wings will have more safety without feeling any loss of performance.

The SOL Synergy 4 was created with the intention to guarantee the pilots' safety with a good performance glider. Such a mixture generated a trustworthy canopy with an excellent gliding performance aimed at both cross country and intermediate pilots.

• High internal pressure.
• Great stability at full speed.
• Light reactions in extreme conditions and good passive safety.
• Easy inflation and excellent takeoff even in no wind.
• Comfortable handling
• Very good performance in thermals.
• Excellent feed back using brakes as well weight shift to fly.

  SOL Torck Paraglider  $3399                                                                                                    Return to top
 

The Torck combines the multiple technologies inspired by the SOL competition paragliders which very often break world records, win important events all around the world and are on the most important podiums in aerobatics events.

The Torck is a paraglider for experienced pilots. Yet, its safety in this class makes it accessible for the pilot that is changing to a LTF 2-3 level. It combines new profiles, a new line layout and solutions to diminish drag that results in a low deformation at maximum speeds with an inherent stability.

With an immediate response to commands , the Torck allows maximum enjoyment during all flight conditions. A slightly reduced canopy area delivers excellent stability without sacrificing climbing ability in weak or light thermals.

More advanced calculation were made during the design process and as result of this a flatter canopy was achieved. Diagonal lines on all cells reduce the amount of lines and help the accuracy of the whole glider.

  • 64 cells with 10 of them are closed.

  • Diagonals bands (A, B, C and D) in all cells.

  • Internal sewing.

  • Trailing edge reinforced with Kevlar.

  • New line layout with a 15% reduction in total consumption

  • Mylar/Carbon reinforcements.

  • Direct connection system for brake lines.

  SOL Koala Tandem Paraglider  $3550                                                                                                                          Return to top
 

The SOL Koala is a completely new project with an innovative design, which can satisfy the tandem professional pilots and the occasional pilots that fly with their friends and family.

It’s a versatile paraglider that inspires confidence and allows the pilot and passenger to enjoy the sky with a pure pleasure of flying.

Koala is a new project, completely developed and simulated in computer. The end result is a paraglider that excels at stability and performance tests. Its construction is very detailed with 48 cells.

The Koala layout is new, longer, improving the performance and accuracy of the commands. The width diminishes from the middle towards the stabilizer. The room among the cell blocks remains the same due to a vector strap along the line attachment points. Three levels of lines were optimized to reduce drag and make it easy to handle.

• Great inflation and easy to handle in all conditions.
• Comfortable and accurate flying.
• Great performance in thermals.
• Soft and progressive brake travel.
• Excellent landing characteristics.
• Easy emergency B-Stall.
• High resistance to closing.
• Small reactions in extreme conditions.
• Excellent passive security.
