The Paradelta Bora is an Italian single-place paraglider, designed and produced by Paradelta Parma of Parma. It remained in production in 2016 as the Bora 2.[1][2]
The Bora was designed as an intermediate glider. The models are each named for their approximate wing area in square metres.[1]
The improved Bora 2 was introduced in 2003 and remained in production in 2016.[1][2]
Reviewer Noel Bertrand noted the Bora 2's introduction in 2003, writing, "this elegant wing, like all high performance wings, has triple cells with diagonal cell bracing and thin section lines".[1]
