FUN AND
SAFETY
On-site, thermal, mountain/seaside flying. With enhanced durability and greater precision than the LEAF, flying our LEAF 2 glider will quickly become second nature.
Category: EN-B
Sizes: XS / S / M / M-L / L

FOLLOWING THE FIRST LEAF’S FOOTSTEPS, THE LEAF2 IS A “REAL” EN-B.
PERMISSIVE AND GIVING PREDICTABLE FEEDBACK, YOU WILL TRUST THIS GLIDER FROM THE GET-GO!
LEAF 2
For our R&D team, high quality finishes, ergonomic design and user-friendliness were keywords throughout the development process.
Thanks to feedbacks from resellers, pilots and instructors, we had great insights that helped us develop a glider with more easy-going take-off characteristics compared to the first generation LEAF. The inflation is gradual with great steadiness and stability. Handling is firm & progressive while passive safety has been optimised.
The LEAF 2 is fairly easy to handle, from the slight pitch when entering a thermal to the optimal roll angle when turning, you will master your LEAF 2 in no less than a day ! Ceiling, thermals, speed range, you comprehended and grasped every part and are now ready for the next flight : even higher and further.
