Design features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 2D steering system | According to BGD, the brake and tip-steering lines connect to the same handle: pulling outwards acts on the centre of the trailing edge, pulling inwards on the tips, and pulling down on both. The line lengths can be adjusted to the paramotor set-up. |
| Chord Cut Billow (CCB) | According to BGD, two chordwise seams on the top-surface panels of the leading edge take up the ballooning of the panels and reduce wrinkles in the top surface. |
| Sliding mini A-riser | According to BGD, the mini A-riser is split higher than usual so that the wing rises evenly even when the pilot holds all the A-risers at launch. |
| Reflex profile | According to BGD, a solid reflex profile keeps the wing stable at full speed. |
| Shorter lines | According to BGD, the Icon has shorter lines than other wings in its class, which makes its control more direct and launching easier. |
| Roller-cam trimmers | According to BGD, the trimmers have roller-cams that do not slip, are easy to operate and reduce wear on the webbing. |
| Sticky handles | According to BGD, the paramotor brake handles have a two-finger rubber loop to reduce the risk of losing the handle. |
