The Ozone Alpina 2 is based on the Ozone Delta 2, but weighs 800g less! The Alpina 2 retains the comfort, safety and ease of use of the Delta 2 but increases the overall performance, fun and handling in a lightweight package. Suitable for Sport Class pilots who are looking for a light weight wing with uncompromised performance. The Ozone Alpina 2 is for serious adventures and XC missions in real conditions anywhere on earth. Ozone's mission was to provide serious Vol-Biv pilots with the same legendary performance and comfort of the Delta 2, in a package that is light and low-volume enough to carry into the biggest mountains on earth.
This paragliding wing has directly benefitted from the technological gains made in the Ozone Performance Project and more than ten years of lightweight paraglider R&D. Ozone’s research in light wing construction began with the Peak in 2001, continued during the first ever X-Alps race in 2003 and in every subsequent race since. Features that appear in the design of the Ozone Alpina 2 helped paraglider pilots to sweep the top five places in the 2013 Red Bull X-Alps race.

The Ozone Alpina 2’s Shark nose profile is solid at accelerated speeds and extremely resistant to spins and stalls. It provides a more constant internal pressure in turbulent air, increasing passive stability and creating an even more comfortable and stable feel in accelerated flight. The new profile has also improved the launch behaviour by reducing shooting in higher wind conditions.
True Performance is Ozone's mission, and with the Alpina 2 this means a speed range that is fully usable in real conditions. Ultra-smooth Ronstan pulleys make engaging the speed bar, and maintaining pitch control via the bar a pleasure in active air. The Ozone Alpina 2 features R12/Enzo-style mini ribs at the trailing edge, and its new internal structure supports an advanced line plan. These design improvements have resulted in a huge reduction in parasitic drag. Further line optimisation has reduced the overall total line drag by 26% compared to the original Alpina. Overall, this has yielded a significantly higher level of efficiency, and the ultra-clean shark profile has allowed for a significant wing area reduction.
Compared to the Ozone Delta 2, the Alpina 2’s performance is slightly better overall. Thanks to its lightweight construction, it has better comportment during launch, an extra-agile feel in thermals, and less overall sail inertia. These free performance benefits all contribute to a global performance upgrade compared to the Delta 2, with no sacrifice in passive safety.
