The Colorado 2 GT redefines the experience of powered flying. It is an evolution of the Colorado 2, featuring advanced technologies such as sophisticated risers with a PK system and winglets. The Colorado 2 GT offers enhanced flight comfort, stability, and ease of use, making it a must-have for every pilot.
Compared to the original Colorado, the Colorado 2 GT introduces two major innovations that amplify the joy and ease of flying with MAC PARA gliders.
The new risers simplify the already effortless take-off, improve the glider's performance across various trim settings, and enable faster acceleration when using the speed system.
What does this mean? In simple terms, you can effortlessly shift to higher speeds. This is invaluable not only for long cross-country flights, but also for quick reactions to changing weather conditions or for sheer fun. The optimized canopy geometry ensures quicker responsiveness to your inputs, delivering more adrenaline in every moment of flight.
Inspired by the Verve glider, the Colorado 2 GT integrates winglets on the canopy. These small but ingenious elements play a critical role in lateral stabilization. By automatically damping oscillations, they help the glider stabilize quickly into a straight flight path. In challenging conditions, you’ll enjoy smoother, more stable flights, without being disturbed by turbulence or air movements. This makes the Colorado 2 GT the ideal choice for pilots seeking calm flights paired with exceptional performance.
At MAC PARA TECHNOLOGY, we continuously strive to improve glider technology and performance to ensure each model is user-friendly and delivers the best flying experience.
The Colorado 2 GT exemplifies this approach, combining higher speeds during acceleration with aerodynamic improvements that make control effortless and flight more secure. Its innovative design minimizes air resistance, contributing to greater fuel efficiency and smoother, more stable flights.
The sophisticated risers enable higher-performance flying and the ability to swiftly transition to a higher speed tier, ensuring that you have complete control over every detail of your flight during your aerial adventures.
The Colorado 2 GT isn’t just an upgraded version—it’s the future standard for high-performance paramotor gliders. Try it and discover a new world where speed, stability, and ease of control merge into one breathtaking experience.
The Colorado 2 GT is your key to unlocking the full potential of motorized flying, providing confidence and control even in the most demanding situations.
