Improvements over traditional XC pod harness:

• ABS geometry integrated with a new NEO concept: the paragliding bucket seat. The result: comfort, stability, handling, and precision.
• Safety innovations: The NEO-Koroyd 1.0 back protector.
• Practical details and technical accessories, designed by pilots for XC flights.
• Craftsmanship and quality from our wholly-owned, on-sight production facility, using 100% European materials.

New geometry, new concept: The Bucket Seat
The focus of our design work was on the geometry and the seat area of the harness, creating a stable and ergonomic foundation with a very precise turn. To achieve this, we integrated a new EVA sandwich back protector into the harness. The result is that the Suspender is a new hybrid concept combining a bucket seat and a mix of seat-board and hammock characteristics, with a more streamlined and supportive protector that spans the full length of the harness.

The geometry design and trimming is centered around:

• Harness CG.
• Carefully tuned ABS (Anti-Balance-System), to control the roll axis.
• Pitch attitude balance, to control yaw axis.
• Additional upper ABS structure for additional stability in active air.
• Adjustable center webbing (42-47cm) for precision and roll axis stability.
• Optimal balance between stability, glider feedback, and handling.

In flight, you can feel:

• Structured thigh support which maintains turn energy and creates a feeling similar to skiing: the carve effect.
• Precise handling
• The seat rigidity maintains heading when you push the speed bar. The Suspender offers comfort and precision similar to a competition harness, for a much smaller weight.

Comfort:

• The bucket seat is the most comfortable harness we have flown.
• Balanced support in the seat and the pod, allowing the pilot to relax both the torso and legs.
• There is no need to tighten the shoulder straps: the seatback is very rigid, eliminating back pain during long flights.
• The sponge seat densities are optimal for long flights.
• Precise, simple trimming: side straps, seat depth/lumbar straps, front belt, shoulders straps, and chest strap.

Active safety:
During more than 300 hours of flight testing, the active safety features of the Suspender have been proven.

• You can fly the Suspender in a seated position, with stability immediately after launch and while settling into the pod. There is no “swing set” sensation.
• The rescue handle is easy to find, located on the main carabiner axis.
• The under-seat rescue container easily deploys the rescue via a large opening.
• Easy pod entry and exit.
