GRAVITY – THE COMPANY
The brand has never just been about conventional wisdom. Our team of innovators, adventurist, and pilots know it is
about passion and expertise which creates and manufactures amazing products. Just as we ditched the rule book in
making Gravity Paramotors - we assumed nothing in the development of Gravity Paragliders. Founded in 2018, from
Gravity Paramotors HQ, we leveraged our dedication to excellence coupled with Ernst Strobl and his state of the art
AirLab team to create a new chapter in the paragliding industry. Over the next two years and countless prototypes,
we obsessed with building a collection of industry-leading paragliders. Through passion, fine-tuning, originality, blood,
sweat and tears, we are delighted to present the Gravity Paraglider brand and product range to the public.

THE XFUSION RESCUE SYSTEM
With the Xfusion series GRAVITY airsports & more GmbH presents an innovative line of reserve parachutes of the
newest generation. A full range of sizes for each pilot, style and type of flying to find their own perfect size. Our
smallest system weights just under 1kg for the 100 kg size, continuing with small steps ranging from 115 kg, to 130 kg,
150 kg up to a 220 kg system. We are truly proud about our Tandem model with an EN 220 certification which turns
out to be the lightes model EN on the current market.
The cross-canopy Xfusion is a safety and rescue parachute to be released by hand for paraglider pilots who are in an
emergency situation. Due to their design characteristics, it is not suitable for the free-fall at any given time or
circumstance! The parachute, the suspension lines and their connections are not designed for an abrupt opening,
because the necessary shock absorbers are missing. An unauthorized and improper use is prohibited! It is essential to
insure the correct installation of the Xfusion unit in the harness. In the direct connection, a compatibility test must be
carried out by a qualified, authorised person, professional or expert, to dismiss or eliminate possible errands such as
non-compatibility between the harness and rescue device. Only a correctly mounted rescue equipment can function
properly in case of an emergency and thus contribute to your safety. In case of the release of the rescue device above
water during a safety training session, for example, please pay careful attention to the fact that a harness foam
protector can react bouncy and can flip the pilot „head-down“ into the water rapidly. There is also a risk that the foam
protection absorbs water quickly during a longer stay in the water and then weighs the pilot down.
Through elaborate calculations of the cross-canopy surface and shape as well as the use of air outlets it results in a
flight behavior that is almost completely free of pendulum movements.

THE CONSTRUCTION
Every design comes with three unwavering focuses - Safety, Performance and Pleasure! Our network of world-class
test pilots and constructors work tirelessly to ensure every paraglider arrives at our customers meeting our strict
standards and regulations - often exceeding industry certification norms.
At GRAVITY Paragliders Europe our general desire and target is that every pilot falls in love on their first flight! Each
paraglider is delivered with crisp handling, class-leading performance and exceptional take-off/ landing
characteristics, followed by a level of reassurance in case we push the boundaries a little too far. GRAVITY’s design
pedigree will always focus on the complete package - delivering an environmentally friendly paraglider, developed
and manufactured using cutting-edge CAD/CFD technology tools built with exceptional, freshest materials to ensure
many years of fun-loving flight, reliability as well lasting enjoyment. Efficient air inlets - in combination with the pre-
tensioning at the base edge through Rapid Inflation System (RIS) – compensate for the surface area at filling behavior
and opening time. Therefore, the reserve concept was able to undercut the stringent norms of the EN and LTF
certification.
And also during the processing, cutting-edge manufacturing methods at highest safety standards are applied. That is
the result of the long-standing manufacturing-know-how from the traditional parachute production. As another
novelty the Xfusion series 100-115-130-150-220 is equipped with the Easy Connect System. An innovation allowing a
