Stability and Safety Meet Agile Control

Precision Handling for All Skill Levels

Not every beginner glider has to feel like a training wing. With the SYMPHONIA 2, you enjoy stable, predictable flight while also accessing nuanced control authority. Consequently, you’ll sharpen your coordination and timing without being overwhelmed.

Moreover, even in thermally active air, the glider maintains its composure. It delivers clear feedback without excessive movement, allowing you to feel connected but never unsettled.

Designed for Progression

From your first solo flights to long XC days, this glider grows with you. Thanks to its broad certification range, you can shift wing loading to customize your experience. Fly it light for maximum safety, or add ballast for more speed and energy.

As a result, your wing never holds you back. Instead, it continually supports your evolution as a pilot.

Seamless Launch and Ground Handling

Takeoffs Made Effortless

Whether launching in light wind or brisk conditions, the PHI SYMPHONIA 2 rises smoothly and symmetrically. With minimal effort, the canopy inflates quickly and centers above your head, ready for lift-off. Even when facing technical terrain or tight takeoff spots, you’ll appreciate how easily it responds.

The refined line plan reduces clutter while color-coded risers ensure you can set up with confidence, even under pressure.

Ground Control, Simplified

Preparing for flight is more intuitive than ever. Line sorting is faster due to reduced line count and smart sheathing. Instructors will love how this wing supports consistent inflation patterns and clean launches, empowering students to develop better habits.

Glide Efficiency with EN-A Security

Soar Farther With Less Effort

With a glide ratio that rivals many EN-B wings, the SYMPHONIA 2 opens up real XC potential. You’ll bridge thermals with ease, conserve altitude, and cover more ground with every decision. Additionally, its climb rate ensures that you get the most out of every bubble of lift.

Hence, whether you’re chasing personal bests or simply enjoying the sky, your experience stays efficient, exhilarating, and safe.

PHI SYMPHONIA 2 Confident Flying in Active Conditions

When turbulence hits, the wing stays composed. Reinforced internal structures and modern profile design ensure collapse resistance, while brake travel allows precise control inputs for quick corrections. You fly with peace of mind—knowing your glider has your back.

Compact and Travel-Ready

Built for Real-World Use

Although it’s designed to perform, the SYMPHONIA 2 remains practical. It folds down compactly and fits easily into standard harness containers. Whether you’re on foot, in a vehicle, or flying commercial, it’s always travel-friendly.

Construction materials balance lightweight agility with long-term robustness, so your wing stays reliable flight after flight.

PHI SYMPHONIA 2 Sizes and Inclusivity

SYMPHONIA 2: the revolution continues!

Around 4.5 years ago Phi introduced a funny striped A class wing that cost as much as a High B glider. Then they also communicated that this wing offers high B performance!

Many competitors laughed at them at the beginning, but now they begin to understand:

Not only have they created a new class with the SYMPHONIA and finally established the A class as the “standard class”. “Super High A” is now in fashion!

Thanks to this unique wing and its children, Phi have also established themselves on the market in a very short time.

And no one is surprised anymore that there are more and more funny striped wings around!

Thank you, SYMPHONIA!

Now it’s time to top it up! And it will be even more colourful!

Please welcome the SYMPHONIA 2!

Features

The SYMPHONIA 2 combines the unique properties of the PHI SYMPHONIA 2 with new know-how.

• The leading edge is more stable, a new intake makes launching much easier.
• The mini ribs and new rods in the nose improve performance.
• The sail cut has been revised.
• Line material and line geometry are new.
• The weight has been noticeably reduced.

Summing all up, the PHI SYMPHONIA 2 performs even better than its predecessor and is easier to use.

• The center wing is more stable, which improves handling and safety!
• The precision and efficiency of the handling is reaching a new level.
• Glide on speed is even more outstanding.

PHI SYMPHONIA 2 testing

Although Phi test pilots tested very hard as usual, the result was extremely good even when the wing was new and still very stiff and the temperatures were low (neither ideal).

The SYMPHONIA 2 sets new standards in terms of safety versus performance!

Risers

This wing is delivered with the “Comfort” R01 riser as standard (recommended).

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.PHI SYMPHONIA 2
