History
Established in 1989, Pegas 2000 launched its own paraglider flight training program by 1990 and released its initial elliptical wing model, the Pegas Fazole, that same year. By 1994, the company had developed proprietary paraglider design software enabling the incorporation of diagonal ribs and other complex features achievable only through computer-aided design.
In 1993, Pegas 2000 began crafting parafoil kites intended for use in kite surfing and kite snowboarding. Subsequently, in 2002, it founded a kiteboarding school to support this activity.
The year 1999 saw the introduction of the Pegas Pony, a paraglider that quickly became recognized as a standard within the market.
Entering the mid-2000s, Pegas 2000’s product range included beginner models such as the Pegas Arcus, intermediate gliders like the Avis and Bain, cross-country wings exemplified by the Bellus, and competition-level gliders including the Certus. Their lineup also featured a tandem paraglider, the Discus.
