EPSILON 9 – The Joy of Flying It is nothing special to introduce a flying-mad earthling to paragliding. What is special is to deliver the positive experiences and high feel-good factors of the sport that keep him there for years – long after the licence. That’s exactly what our EPSILON series does ... The EPSILON 8 became well known for its balanced character, and quickly developed the sales figures and customer satisfaction that puts it among the most successful EPSILONs yet: not an easy task for our development team to top. But we are happy that they have done it with the EPSILON 9. Their...

Feeling good from the pull up Nothing upsets the EPSILON 9: with pitch and directional stability it forges on through turbulent air. Steering demands are answered precisely, without delay. These features combined are responsible for its defining fun and feel-good factor in the air, and as life-long partners of passive safety they share the credit for a long-lasting and uninterrupted enjoyment of flight. Latest techniques for good performance Whether we consider the internalised Miniribs, latest Hybrid lining layout or Low Drag Stabilos, the marked EPSILON 9 performance boost results from...

Technology Upgrade Miniribs The EPSILON 9 enjoys a comprehensive technology upgrade: Miniribs make a smooth trailing edge, Low Drag Stabilos reduce energy-sapping vortices. The design team took a lot of time over the miniribs: these are not only weight optimised, but their seams are sewn inside! Upper and lower training edge surface threads are no longer the victims of sticks, stones and thorns. ADVANCE EPSILON 9 – The Joy of Flying

Airscoop Technology Like its predecessor the EPSILON 9 Sliced Diagonals keep the canopy shape correct for years, double 3D-Shaping creates a smooth leading edge profile. Airscoop Technology combined with the typical ADVANCE semi-circular air intakes also results in a significantly lower flow stagnation point, contributing to a later stall point with unmistakable and progressive brake load increase as a warning.

Hybrid Line array Simple and easy-to-see sorting plus maximum performance: the EPSILON 9 has an intelligent line mix of covered Liros Dyneema base lines, with robust, uncovered Edelrid Aramid gallery lines. ADVANCE EPSILON 9 – The Joy of Flying

Automatic Dust Remover As a first for ADVANCE paraglider models the EPSILON 9 has a continuous all-cell channel along the trailing edge as an exit route for dust and debris. By opening the wingtip exits now and again dust and other debris can be brushed along and released to the outside world while in flight. Open the Velcros before takeoff and pull out the fabric ducting. The EPSILON 9 will do the rest. ADVANCE EPSILON 9 – The Joy of Flying

Riser Features EPSILON 9 risers have all the features that make life easy for the pilot: plastic covered brake handle magnets for perfect hold, brake Brake Pulley handle sizes that match the particular wing area, swivels to relieve brake line twists, brake pulleys for easy-running brakes and, of course, the Speed Performance Indicator. During flight this shows a broad brush indication of the chosen accelerated speed related to the wing’s polar curve. This mainly simplifies the choice of best speed to fly relative to current headwind and sinking air, and initially helps the pilot to set up...

Tried and tested by the EPSILON 8 Like the EPSILON 8 the EPSILON 9 also has our EASY CONNECT System to help the pilot correc- QUICK SNAP tly connect the paraglider risers to the harness. Separate, easy-to-reach outer A-risers make big ears very straightforward. Our useful QUICK SNAP magnets connect this A-riser to it’s A neighbour for easy ground handling. They separate automatically under flying loads during takeoff, and take up their normal flying position. ADVANCE EPSILON 9 – The Joy of Flying

5 sizes with Seamless Weight Ranges 60 kg 22 Certified takeoff weight Ideal weight range Should I choose the smaller or larger size? This question does not occur with the EPSILON 9. The new Seamless Weight Ranges provide a continuous transition of flying weight through the five wing sizes without overlap. Within these ideal all-up weight ranges the EPSILON 9 will provide an optimal balance of climb performance and flying speed for all typical flying conditions. 12 ADVANCE EPSILON 9 – The Joy of Flying

Paramotor Certification The EPSILON 9 is eminently suited to paramotor flying due to its exceptionally good takeoff behaviour, and high pitch and directional stability in flight. DGAC paramotor certification work for 24, 26, 28 and 30 sizes is currently underway. Paramotor risers with trims are available for the EPSILON 9 as an option. For free flying (no motor) the trimmer loops can simply be fixed in the main support carabiners. 13 ADVANCE EPSILON 9 – The Joy of Flying Trimmers stowed
