SONIC is an exclusive project totally destined to the "Acro" and "Freestyle" concept and destined to an experienced aerobatic group of pilots who are oriented to this new kind of paragliding.

SONIC is the evolution of the work developed by André Rottet and the pilots of the SOL aerobatic team. Many experienced pilots such as Renato "Curreca" Gonçalves, Renato Lopez, Hernan Pittoco and Horacio Llorens have tested and flew SONIC.

The results during the development have already shown the potential of SONIC:

PILOTS

ImageSONIC as other aerobatic paragliders is destined to experienced pilots who are used to "Freestyle" and Aerobatics – its use is specific and the abilities are specific as well.





DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

ImageThe layout is modern. It’s a 56 cells detailed construction, projected aspect ratio compatible with modern canopies and its small canopy area allow a total profile performance utilization which resulted in a much faster and agile wing - it has a prompt and sensitive response to the commands.

The calculation techniques and construction along with the materials used in our products result in a paraglider with no wrinkles nor depression. It could not be different with SONIC: a clean and smooth canopy.


CONSTRUCTION CHARACTERISTICS

Image• Diagonal Ribs to reduce lines and weight;
• Carbon/Mylar Reinforcements;
• State of art canopy cutting;
• Clean Layout.

All construction materials have been carefully selected to ensure high durability and high level of security. All SOL gliders are made in the company's own DHV. certified factory.


FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

Image• High inner pressure;
• Strong Reactions in extreme maneuvers;
• Direct and sensitive handling.

SONIC has a short and precise brake which allows a little use of the brake during the flight.



THE SONIC IS DELIVERED WITH Image

• Backpack;
• Internal protection bag;
• Compression strap;
• Risers' protection sack;
• Wind sock;
• Manual;
• Basic repair kit;
• Measuring Tape to check the distance between carabiners;
• Speed bar.


WARRANTY

Due to the situation of extreme use, the Sonic is not covered by the 3 years or 300 hours SOL warranty. All SOL paragliders used or destined to aerobatics have a 01 year warranty related to manufacturing defects.
