DESCRIPTION:  The all new BlackHawk Kestrel ELITE PRO is Here! After decades of innovation and engineering, BlackHawk brings you the finest Paramotor frame the sport has seen. The all-new BlackHawk Kestrel Elite Pro is an astounding 5 lbs lighter than our original Kestrel V3. In a sport where every pound counts, this new frame & cage will change the game. After several months of testing prototypes and feedback from our Team Pilots, we’ve managed to create the lightest, most rigid single-hoop Paramotor Frame we’ve ever produced (with the exception of the V3). The Kestrel Elite Pro features a carbon fiber seat board and rods. This lightweight next-generation Kestrel is extremely durable, loaded with new features, and we’re confident that it will be an instant “classic” in our expansive product lineup. BlackHawk’s revolutionary Kestrel line of products have been quoted as “the closest feeling to free-flight paragliding you can experience with a motor!”

FEATURES:

SAFETY FIRST: Safety has always been paramount to BlackHawk. Like the Kestrel V3, the prop only sticks out 3 1/2 inches from the back of the hoop. This is HALF the distance compared to our competitor’s products and equates to less glider line exposure & enhanced Pilot safety. We’ve adjusted the thrust line of the motor placement in relation to where the glider hooks in – achieving “the most balanced thrust line of any Paramotor Manufacturer today.” This is especially great for beginners or Instructors looking for the best passive safety and also enhances the Paramotor’s weight-shift capability. The balance we’ve achieved with this new configuration is simply perfect. The New Kestrel Elite Pro also incorporates a dual-cord net tightening system instead of the classic single-cord system. This increases the rigidity and overall strength of the entire cage diaphragm. The tough net string itself features 1 ¾” openings – knotted on all 4 corners to increase overall Pilot safety. We have a great “Tips and Tricks” video that showcases how to properly tighten and install the dual-cord net system. CLICK HERE to watch the video.

COMPATIBLE WITH: Vittorazi Atom 80  –  Vittorazi Moster 185  –  CorsAir Black Devil  –  CorsAir Black Bee 125

ALL NEW HOOP: BlackHawk’s Kestrel series all feature our new “teardrop shape” outer hoop instead of the classic circular design. Aside from the WOW factor, this further increases the strength of the cage while also increasing its aerodynamic potential. All connection points have been carefully Tig Welded and the Cage features a two-tone metallic powder-coated finish for a long-lasting beautiful look. The connection joint where the main hoop assembles has been relocated to the side instead of the very top. For Pilots who are concerned about “cage-flex” on those power-forward launches, this ensures extra strength where Pilots need it the most. Even beginner Pilots will now have a frame in the “ultralight” range that is strong enough and forgiving enough to easily handle the demands of those new to the sport.

DESCRIPTION:  We’ve set a new industry standard with the Kestrel line of ultra-lightweight frames. BlackHawk Paramotors USA, the “Leader in Paramotor Innovation,” is very excited to announce the ALL-NEW 2019 Kestrel V3 Frame & Cage! After several months of testing prototypes and feedback from our Team Pilots, we’ve managed to create the most rigid single-hoop Paramotor Frame we’ve ever produced. This lightweight next-generation Kestrel is extremely durable, loaded with new features, and we’re confident that it will be an instant “classic” in our expansive product lineup. BlackHawk’s revolutionary Kestrel line of products have been quoted as “the closest feeling to free-flight paragliding you can experience with a motor!”

FEATURES:

SAFETY FIRST: Safety has always been paramount to BlackHawk. We’ve adjusted the thrust line of the motor placement in relation to where the glider hooks in. Pilots can now get into their seat even easier and faster after takeoff. With this change, in-flight pitch control is even more balanced. This is especially great for beginners or Instructors looking for the best passive safety and also enhances the Paramotor’s weight-shift capability. The balance we’ve achieved with this new configuration is simply perfect. The New Kestrel V3 also incorporates a dual-cord net tightening system instead of the classic single-cord system. This increases the rigidity and overall strength of the entire cage diaphragm. The tough net string itself features 1 ¾” openings – knotted on all 4 corners to increase overall Pilot safety. We have a great “Tips and Tricks” video that showcases how to properly tighten and install the dual-cord net system. CLICK HERE to watch the video.

ALL NEW HOOP: You probably noticed the new “teardrop shape” of the outer hoop instead of the classic circular design. Aside from the WOW factor, this further increases the strength of the cage while also increasing its aerodynamic potential. All connection points have been carefully Tig Welded and the Cage features a two-tone powder-coated finish for a long-lasting beautiful look. The connection seam where the main hoop assembles has been relocated to the side instead of the very top. For Pilots who are concerned about “cage-flex” on those power-forward launches, this ensures extra strength where they need it the most. Even beginner Pilots will now have a frame in the “ultralight” range that is strong enough and forgiving enough to easily handle the demands of those new to the sport.

IMPROVED “CG” AND COMPATIBILITY: BlackHawk has been working on a new engine mounting plate which will come standard with the 2019 Kestrel V3 Cage. This makes the same Kestrel main frame compatible with several different BlackHawk engines. This new design has allowed us to eliminate the previously used spacers and banana brackets! This saves weight while moving the motor even closer to the Pilot’s back – creating a lighter feel and more efficient center-of-gravity. The prop placement is also now 2 ½” set back from the cage hoop which greatly reduces the chances of ever having a prop strike the cage.

LOW-PROFILE “KICKSTAND”: In the past, BlackHawk used a semi-pronounced 3” “kickstand” (metal bar to help the motor remain upright while not in use). We’ve managed to shorten this metal bar to 1”, while still achieving sufficient stability when the motor is sitting upright on the ground. This eliminates more weight and prevents the bar from bending if it makes contact with the ground on takeoff / landing.

LET’S TALK WEIGHT: With all of these new features, BlackHawk has still managed to keep the 2019 Kestrel V3 the same weight as the original Kestrel design! Instead of eliminating certain safety features or compromising the incredible strength of this cage, we’ve found the perfect balance of both safety and strength.

WANT EVEN MORE? GO ELITE!: Of course we also have a NEW Team Series “Kestrel V3 Pro Elite” cage available for Pilots who want even more from their Paramotoring experience. This ultimate upgrade features a carbon fiber seat board, carbon fiber rods, and fully CNC’d “Acro Arms.” The V3 Pro Elite is also 2 lbs lighter than the standard Kestrel V3!

NOTE: These bars are for the original Kestrel V2 version and not available with the Kestrel V3. These colors are a FREE upgrade if you are purchasing a new Kestrel V2 Paramotor Frame. Just let us know the color you would like when ordering (color depends on stock availability). If you already have a Kestrel Paramotor Frame, or need a replacement set of bars, order them here.

DESCRIPTION: At the request of many customers, BlackHawk has added some newly available colors to the bars on the Kestrel Paramotor Frames. These high-quality bars are sand-blasted and powder-coated for a beautiful long-lasting, chip-resistant color. A final clear-coat ads remarkable gloss to these brilliant metallic colors. They will be available in metallic red, metallic green, and metallic silver. Of course the metallic black bars will always be available, however, if you want to add some additional distinguishing color to your BlackHawk Paramotor, you can now do so. Additionally, the main hoop of all Kestrel Paramotor Frames is now a beautiful metallic black instead of the previous flat black color. Mike Robinson of BlackHawk commented: “We want our customers to make their Paramotors their own. Many customers who order a specific color glider have asked about custom matching colors for their Paramotor frames. We sell a lot of red and green gliders, so we are starting out with these custom frame colors. If it goes well, we might consider expanding the variety of colors available.” These new colors are available to customers at no additional cost. Simply let us know which color you would like when ordering your BlackHawk Kestrel Frame. If you already have a BlackHawk Kestrel Frame and would like to add some color to your machine, you can order a set of these bars for $150. As always, customers ask for it, and we deliver!
