Some pilots feel most at home with a relaxed and reclined flying style, with a packed lunch and thermos on their way to a destination far, far away. Others enjoy flying full speed upside down or more active close to the terrain. Our signature model, the Starseed X2, happens to support both flying styles, thus being two paramotors in one.
To reach our goal of a light, compact and balanced paramotor, the X2 is only available for Vittorazi Atom 80, Corsair N80, and Corsair Black Bee 125. As on all Starseed models, the fuel tank is raised to become the back panel, thus providing a free flow of air around the pilot and getting more thrust out of every engine on the market. As a direct result, even heavier pilots will find the X2 delivering almost just as much thrust as on larger engines.
Starseed X2 is a result of true engineering and the vision that only the best is good enough, free from technical limitations.
Starseed X2 is a study in sophisticated simplicity, offering the best possible balance of flight characteristics, feel, aerodynamics, safety, design, and flexibility. The heart is the star hub, which acts as an anchor point throughout the design, eliminating twisting and stiffening the whole paramotor.
New features on Starseed X2 compared to Starseed X:
Many pilots believe all airframes have the same flight characteristics and feel but they couldn’t be more wrong! The airframe is the most important part of the flying experience. Starseed X2 delivers the most integrated, relaxed, and dynamic flying experience ever.
Starseed X2 is the state of being total and complete; it literally feels and acts like an integrated extension of your body. It is a part of you, both on the ground and in the air, and behaves totally differently to most, if not all, paramotor airframes on the market.
Starseed X2 gives you an all-new level of direct control, with incredible efficiency. Based on years of extensive testing, we have landed what we believe is the perfect balance between the thrust line, the arm attachment points, the raiser attachments, and the flying position. Two different hang point settings let you choose whether you want to fly and land a bit more reclined, or if you want a fully up-right landing position.
Starseed X2 is delivered with our new 10 liters fuel tank purpose designed for both a more classic upright flying position for race, acro and agile fun flying, but is also just at great for a relaxed flying position similar to paragliding. As all Starseed fuel tanks this new fuel tank is raised to become the back panel, thus providing free flow of air around the pilot and getting more thrust out of every engine on the market. An all-new vented fuel cap system prevents any fuel leakage and eliminates fuel smell when not in use.
Starseed Fusion gives you an all-new level of direct control, with incredible efficiency. Based on years of extensive testing, we have landed what we believe is the perfect balance between the thrust line, the arm attachment points, the raiser attachments, and the reclined flying position.
Our all-new optional digital fuel sensor is accurate and reliable, without any moving parts and fully integrated into the fuel tank. The clear and super compact PPG Meter allows you to see the remaining fuel level at any time.
According to polls, 80% of all pilots fly less than one hour per flight. But for those very long XC flights, an optional custom designed flexible fuel tank placed inside our front fuel container allows you carry up to 9.5L of extra fuel and pump fuel directly into the main fuel tank on your back.
Starseed X2 is delivered with a 140 cm hoop and is the ultimate travellers and explorers’ machine, being lightweight and very compact.
The S-shaped top strut provides a good separation from the hoop allowing an unobstructed view of your wing. You can easily tilt your head backwards, looking straight up even with your helmet on. No more take-offs without first thoroughly checking your wing!
The new MKII SuperLight paramotor harness is the most advanced and feature-packed paramotor harness available. It is also the only fully certified paramotor harness on the market, having passed both EN and LTF standards. A side-mounted reserve pocket is standard. Paired with Starseed X2 and the single strap hang point option you get completely out of the harness for the safest possible landing.
The Apco Paramotor leg cover Pod for the Apco SLT MKII harness can be opened both from top and bottom. During take-off and landing, it is stowed against the chest with a magnetic attachment. Once in the air, the pilot can easily step into the pod from the opening underneath.
Our Magnetic KickStand™ system ensures the paramotor sits firmly on the ground when not in use. When preparing for take-off, the Magnetic KickStand™ quickly slides away from your feet and reattaches to the rest of the frame in a locked position with two Neodymium magnets.
The sophisticated Snap-on™ net is made out of Dyneema and our very own rubber formula, is super easy to assemble and ensures easy mounting in even -15 degrees Celsius. Two minutes, and you are the first in line for take-off. The netting is tensioned using ratcheting buckles while also providing permanent tension.
Our dual anti-torque system is based on two distinct features. First, offsetting the arms relative to the frame ensures the vertical forces are in line with the arms, creating a rigid assembly with no twisting that could result in bent swing arms. Second, offset anti-torque blocks are mounted on the tip of the arms and help to further reduce any twisting on the back by offsetting the centre of mass enough to counteract the torque turning moment to a minimum. Perfect for larger high-torque engines.
We've worked hard to ensure ease of assembly and compact size when disassembled. The bottom sections and the leg can be divided from the star hub in a couple of minutes. With Starseed X2 you are ready for take-off in just a few minutes.
Starseed X2 is made from the highest quality titanium and welded inside a vacuum chamber for optimal performance. Titanium is 40% lighter than steel and is corrosion-resistant with anti-fatigue properties: no rust, no cracks, no peeling paint, so it'll always look great.
The Starseed X2 is optimised for the lighter engines as Vittorazi Atom 80, Corsair N80 and Corsair Black Bee 125 and such being the most integrated, compact and balanced setup available.
Starseed X and Starseed XF are made in Norway with true love for sophisticated simplicity. Our little titanium starships bridge the gap between paragliding and paramotoring and providing the best possible mix of handling and weight shift capabilities without compromising stability. In short, a Starseed paramotor feels and acts like an extension of your own body, propels you right into the air with an incredible efficiency, and deliver the best flying experience to date, with the most futuristic design and a footprint light as air.
The Starseed X2 air frame is made of an optimal mix of Titanium Grade 2 and Grade 5.
The harness is delivered standard with reserve container, pocket and speed bar pulley setup. Read more here.
Unlike free flying pod harnesses the Paramotor Pod has an opening both from the top and the bottom. It is stowed against the chest with a magnetic attachment during take-off and landing. Once in the air the pilot can pull it out and step into the pod from the bottom opening which is easy and intuitive. Read more here.
Starseed X2 is purpose designed for Vittorazi Atom 80, Corsair N80 and Corsair Black Bee 125.
Our optional digital fuel sensor, custom made by Fly Henry for Starseed Ltd. to perfectly fit our fuel tank, is accurate and reliable, without any moving parts, and fully integrated into the fuel tank. The PPG Meter, a clear and compact flight computer from Fly Henry with a wide variety of features, can be mounted onto the swing arms and allows you to see the remaining fuel level and more at any time.
9.5 liters soft bladder placed into our Starseed front container with manual pump and check valve to secure a fast transfer of fuel into the main fuel tank.
Our high quality padded frame bag is made out of Cordura 1000D and YKK zippers. The bag has four padded rooms; one for the struts and hoop sections, two rooms for a propeller up to 130 cm (2 part), and one room for tools. All walls are padded using a protective and unbreakable EPP foam material.
Normal price is EUR 3290. After discount the price is EUR 1645 ex. VAT and shipping. The reason for the discounted prices are lack of titanium raw material which also results in a limited availability of spare parts. We are working on a new strategy to fix these issues within Q1/23.
Please note: The campaign price is only available with engine adapter plates for Vittorazi Atom 80 and Corsair N80/Black Bee 125/Black Devil Pro.
