Paragliding Paramotor Comparison DHV 1-2 Obsession vs DHV 2 Maverick Powered Paraglider Side By Side

http://u-turnusa.com Paragliding comparison by paramotor. Powered Paragliding makes it very easy to compare paragliders. Both pilots are the same weight and are both flying Flat Top 200s. The small U-Turn Obsession DHV 1-2 vs the small Icaro Maverick DHV 2. The results are shocking. Once again the U-Turn Obsession blows away the competition. Watch as the ultra high performance DHV 2 sinks away from the Obsession. The incredible glide of the DHV 1-2 Obsession is hard to believe. Watch right here on video the same test done twice in a row. Both times the U-Turn Obsession out glides the Icaro Maverick. Wow! A DHV 1-2 that handles like an acro glider and glides like a competition XC wing. The U-Turn Obsession is quite possibly the best all around paraglider ever made. This comparison was done by the US importer for both Icaro and U-Turn.

@patxict What are you talking about? Even if you dropped 40 lbs from the Maverick the Obsession would still out fly it. Even the K2 beginner glider will out fly it. The Maverick is a nice wing but it just doesn't have the performance of these other high end gliders.

Dell How does the Cima compare to the Obsession? The obsession Looks way kewler too!!! Love the U-Turn graphics. Cimas a bit well Dull but looks impressive in it's handling and safety. Would be nice to know the differences Between U-turn same rating as Cima?

@Galvoflysoz The Obsession was the ultimate for several years. Then the K2 came along and matched its glide performance but with better handling, waaay better safety, waaaaay easier to launch, waterproof, auto stable... not even close, the K2 takes it all the way. The Obsession is really slick, I like the colors better too but the K2 is the way to go right now.

Dell which one were you flying?

[imasuper0308]

I was on the Obsession as I actually weigh just a little more than he does so I wanted to ensure the advantage was to the Maverick. It still lost.

Totally awesome!

We've done that in all previous tests and it made zero difference in the result. We didn't have time to do it this time but I'm 100% positive the results would have been the same. Straight line side by side at trim speed is pretty much what you see is what you get no matter how you look at it.

Im not accusing you of faking the test, I just mentioned the possiblity of the difference being the pilot. Pilots should switch thier equipment and do the same test.
