Weight ranges
The take off weight on the scale includes pilot + equipment + wing. For normal thermal flying it is recommended to stay in the normal range. For high wind conditions, strong thermals to fly XC, the extended range offers more speed, energy and possibilities.

TENOR 2: the sportster!
The first TENOR found many friends due to its extremely dynamic handling and its great performance in high-speed flight. It is the “Sportscar” in PHI’s wide range of products.
Phi has now carefully developed this great concept into the TENOR 2.
Designer's notes
"Even the sisters SYMPHONIA 2 and TENOR 2 are still similar, the difference in the second generation is bigger. It was worth to invest some more time and effort: finally, we found the TENOR 2 to be an extremely well-balanced wing that is a lot of fun to fly and play around with."
— Hannes Papesh, Phi Designer
Features
The TENOR 2 is a technically very complex wing for its class (low to mid B).
Due to the further reduction of the suspensions compared to its little sister SYMPHONIA 2, it has a lot more diagonal fingers in the interior.
Building on the technology of the SYMPHONIA 2, the sail tension of the TENOR 2 has been further optimized.
The handling adjustment and characteristic also uses the extended possibilities of the B class: this makes the TENOR 2 more sporty.
Flybubble review (TENOR 2 Light)
TENOR 2 light is a lighter version of TENOR 2. Review of TENOR 2 light down below.
"I just had an incredibly enjoyable and excellent test flight with Nancy on the TENOR 2 Light, and I must say it was an absolute joy to fly. The handling of this glider is sublime—direct, responsive, and agile. In fact, I believe it might be the most responsive and agile low B wing I've tested so far. The brake pressure is light, and the travel is on the moderate to shorter side, providing a particularly direct and responsive feel. While it has a sporty touch, it feels less so than its predecessor, the TENOR 1, and boasts a flatter and more efficient turn.
The performance of the TENOR 2 Light is impressive for its class, holding its own against high-performance gliders like EN-C two-liners. In a direct comparison, the higher-end gliders may have a slight edge in performance, but the TENOR 2 Light excels on the speed bar. Its clean Leading Edge is notably sleek, showing no signs of flutter or twitching, making the glider exceptionally solid throughout.
Summarizing my overall experience, the TENOR 2 Light is a delight to fly, offering gorgeous handling, quick and responsive maneuvers, and light brake pressure. It stands out with top-notch performance in its class. Beyond the technical aspects, the glider is an absolute pleasure to launch and fly. In my opinion, it deserves a big thumbs up."

Risers
Standard: ‘Comfort ’ R01 (3 +1)
Optional: ‘Superlight’ RZ3 (3), ‘Semilight’ R04 (3+1) , ‘Superlight +’ R03 (3 +1)
You are free to customize and choose another riser free of charge but this will delay your order by 3-7 days. If saving every gram is your top priority, you may choose the "Superlight" RZ3 riser. This reduces the weight on the tech data list by around 250-285g but compromises usability and increases speed system pressure.

FAQ
How should the TENOR 2 be packed?
The rods of the TENOR 2 are quite short and not sensitive against bending. You can pack the TENOR 2 without big attention.
What is the service interval of the TENOR 2? Is a trim tuning needed?
The service interval is as usual 2 years from the first flight. Please fill in your first flight in the type table. On the base of our experience with the lines material mix, there is no trim tuning necessary: the trim does normally not change significantly.
Can the TENOR 2 be equipped with the C steering R07 riser?
Yes: you can order the TENOR 2 with the C handle R07 riser. As for all PHI wings you can chose the riser at ordering. The R07 riser is rising the demand, as it is not as easy to be sorted as a normal riser (because of the free ball bearing roll as the B riser). We are recommending the R07 only for more experienced pilots.
What is the extended weight range?
As the TENOR 2 light has a very wide safety margin, we decided to offer an extended weight range. This is offering the possibility to fly the TENOR 2 light with more wing loading, still being in the certification range. A pilot may use this option on days with strong thermals with extra ballast, for strong wind soaring or when he generally loves to fly a high loaded wing for more speed, more dynamic energy and more fun.
For normal thermal flying it is recommended to stay inside the standard weight range.
Difference between SYMPHONIA 2 and TENOR 2?
Phi: "The difference between TENOR 2 and SYMPHONIA 2 is more than with the first versions: the TENOR 2 has less lines, more diagonals, different trim settings, etc."
