Product Description

One word…
ev·o·lu·tion (eh vE lu shEn)
n. A gradual process in which something transforms into a different and better form.

A new breed.

Not just a modified Sabre, the Sabre2 is the latest, totally new design to emerge from 15 years of ongoing research and development.

This canopy is destined to become one of the most popular designs we have ever conceived.

Openings of the Sabre2 are typically soft, consistent, and generally on-heading with proper technique. Pilots of the original Sabre will immediately notice the Sabre2’s more crisp and positive response to toggle input, along with its lighter toggle and riser pressure. When it comes to landings, everyone will be amazed with the incredible amount of lift available on landing. This lift gives the Sabre2 pilot a tremendous ability to slow down when you wish to.

The Sabre2 will feel aggressive at higher wing loadings while maintaining its incredible ease of landing and forgiveness at lower wing loadings. The Sabre2’s performance envelope is huge.

If you are looking for a canopy that represents the evolution of modern, carefree performance, the Sabre2 is it.

The Performance Designs Sabre2…the evolution of performance!
