Icaro’s advanced single surface glider Relax for novice pilots is a replacement for their popular Mars. First built in 2002.
Sublime handling and excellent build. Not good for going fast – unless you want to get down.
Relax 14 Pilot weight: 100-165 lb / 45-75 kg
Relax 16 Wing area: 15.8 m² Wing span: 9.8 m Aspect ratio: 6.1 Hang glider weight: 23 kg Minimum pilot weight: 50 kg Maximum pilot weight: 90 kg / 200 lb Packed length: 5.1 m Packed length short: 3.7 m Number of battens: 14 Nose angle: 127°
The 2002 Laminar Eazy EZ was for intermediate pilots. The EZ is the performance model with the same geometry as the ST and a few less battens and lighter.

The 2000 Laminar Mr700 (Mrx) was for advanced pilots.
Laminar Mr700 (Mrx)
The 14m Laminar Mr700 (Mrx) version is very light in roll with vb off, vb on does stiffen up handling but does not yaw. Take off and landings are good, nice to thermal and good performance overall. Build quality is excellent with very nice precision made parts, rubber backed uprights, and easy to rig/de-rig.
Developed from 1997, the Laminar 13 ST I of 1998 is a particularly sympatic wing for those who do not weigh heavy, and is easy in all its handling, landing without problem.
Laminar ST
The Laminar ST is a topless model hang glider circa 1998. The R version has a kingpost.
Once in the air the Laminar ST wing is very nice, a little brighter and faster than a standard Laminar. In transition overdrive stretched in slightly turbulent conditions the wing tends to go in yaw and in addition it is very hard to turn and to correct, it is quite painful and unpleasant in the long transitions, overdrive stretched and low speed.
The Laminar ST 2 of 1999 is for advanced pilots.

The Cyber 2 (DHV 1) is the second generation of Icaro’s school and beginner wing. Takes you through your beginning years with ease. Very easy to launch, and with good handling, it’s the perfect wing for those wanting a stable and relaxed trip to cloudbase. DULV rated for paramotors. Price 2009: US$3,000.00
The Incanto (DHV 1-2) was designed in 2006 by designer Michael Nesler and Icaro. The glide ratio (5.65) equals that of some DHV 2 gliders but due to a number of performance intake valves, it has the rating and security of a 1-2. Great communication from this wing, easy to launch and a joy to fly, the Incanto needs an active pilot in turbulence but is not demanding. DULV and EN-B (size M) rated. Price 2009: US$3,600.00
The 2007 design Instinct from designer Michael Nesler and Icaro is certified DHV 1-2. With an aspect ratio equal to higher end 1-2’s but with the security of a 1 due to cell design and performance intake air valves. Accelerated speed is over 50 km/h. Suitable for all types of flying with the performance of an intermediate and stability of a DHV 1. Freestyle, acro, or long distance. Price 2009: US$3,500.00
The DHV 2 Maverick is a simple to fly XC class 2 wing with convincing performance data. Professional race risers, four different sail cloths which are selectively used in the canopy according to tension and weight, a mix of five different line diameters in Dynema and Kevalar give the Maverick an edge on comparable class 2-3 wings. Price 2009: US$3,800.00
Released in 2006, the Nikita (Acro) was developed for extreme dynamic performance by qualified acro pilots. The wing curvature and special trimming reduce forces on the pilot from SAT and other maneuvers, risers tensioned to prevent twist and diagonal tape and line loops arranged for safe landings in case of line breakage. Factory approval is required before purchasing! For each paraglider model is offered special ICARO motor risers which have been developed for motored flight. ICARO motor risers have many functional details and are an optimal partner for free flight, backpack motor, trike or flyke. Weather installed at ICARO or bought as an optional accessory, ICARO motor risers are for paramotoring and at the same time can also be used for free-flight. The trimmer can be operated easily and provides optimal adaption to the airspeed. A small asymmetrical adjustment to both trimmers balances the torque of the engine. One-sided balancing of the brake is gone. Two attachment loops for main suspension as well as variable fastening points for the brake pulley provide maximum flexibility in all variants of motorised flight. Two pulleys attached at different heights allow the brake line to be adjusted to a suitable position. Price 2009: US$3,300.00
The tandem design for 2007, the Twice was certified DHV 1-2. Suitable for the professional tandem instructor or hobby pilots, the shorter line length and canopy curvature make the Twice light and efficient. For each paraglider model is offered special ICARO motor risers which have been developed for motored flight. ICARO motor risers have many functional details and are an optimal partner for free flight, backpack motor, trike or flyke. Wheather installed at ICARO or bought as an optional accssory, ICARO motor risers are for paramotoring and at the same time can also be used for free-flight. The Twice was designed so that the flight characteristics would remain the same no matter how heavy the load. Fitted with trimmers as a standard feature and comes the providing optimal adaption to the airspeed. A small asymmetrical adjustment to both trimmers balances the torqe of the engine. One-sided balancing of the brake is gone. Two attahment loops for the main suspension as well as variable fastening points for the brake pulley provide maximum flexibilty in all variats of mororized flight. Two pullys attached at diffeent heights allow the brake line to be adjusted to a sutable position. Price 2009: US$3,900.00
