Epsilon 6 | Paragliding & Paramotor Wing
Because of its good takeoff qualities, high stability and perfect steering behaviour the EPSILON 6 is ideally suitable for paramotoring. The DULV/EN/LTF certified Hybrid-Risers, which can also be used for flight without the motor, are recommended.
Hybrid-Risers
The Hybrid-Risers are fitted with two different hang points, so that the best match of harness and motor system can be achieved without having to change the brake line length.
With the trimmers the turning effect of the motor can be counteracted, and the airspeed be adjusted. For flight without a motor the trimmer loops can be hooked into the main carabiners, so as to keep the normal EN/LTF certification status.
The Hybrid-Risers have a speed system, which can be used when flying without the motor.

EPSILON 6 - Explore new Skies!
You want to climb – climb high! As a thermally-focussed leisure pilot you relish the thought of easy turning, precise centring and climbing all the way up in order to be able to fly away from your local area. Thanks to the special handling, compactness and balanced nature of the intermediate EPSILON 6 you will broaden your flying horizons, and get to fully enjoy the magnificent view from cloud base!
The EPSILON 6 Pilot
The EPSILON 6 is best suited to the typical intermediate leisure pilot who regularly flies in thermal conditions. He will already have a competent, active flying style, can recognise an approaching collapse, and knows how to prevent it without overreacting. From this starting point thermalling with the EPSILON 6 will mean perfect pleasure. Thanks to its large degree of safety the EPSILON 6 can also be flown by the talented, advanced student.
Outstanding Characteristics
The Epsilon 6 has many outstanding characteristics, including...
A compact and stable unit
For the EPSILON 6 the wing, lines and pilot form an especially compact unit. This primarily results from an ideal relationship between aspect ratio and line length. On the one hand this produces a marked degree of inherent stability, and on the other creates perfect tracking and pitch stability. As the pilot this gives you a good feeling under the glider all the time.
Sophisticated and smooth handling
Less load from the brakes and low steering demands enable the EPSILON 6 to circle at any desired radius, and let the pilot feel precise canopy feedback from the brakes. The EPSILON has an exceptionally smooth, distinctive ADVANCE handling because of the Ring Raff System, combined with a perfect combination of profile and curvature.
Harmonised and absolutely predictable
One of the greatest strengths of the EPSILON 6 is that it has no weaknesses. With this wing you have a harmonised and well-balanced glider, tuned exactly to your needs as a thermalling pilot. Its reassuring predictability and obvious passive safety will impress you from takeoff to landing.
ADVANCE Standards
For 20 years ADVANCE have, as their main priority, set themselves the highest standards in quality and design. The EPSILON 6 incorporates many of the technical innovations that ADVANCE have developed over all those years, many of which have become standard features for the entire paragliding world.
