Icaro 2000 is lucky to be able to rely on a truly exceptional team. This team comprises three flex wing and rigid wing hang gliding world champions (Manfred, Alex and Christian). They are all committed to the ongoing development of our various hang glider models. All three take part in the most important hang gliding competitions, and this enables them to measure their own performance and that of our hang gliders with other pilots and other gliders, helping them to progressively increase the performance of our models. In addition, our pilots perform the first test flight of all the hang gliders built by our company, before they are delivered to our customers. In addition, we have a professional designer and photographer, who is also a pilot (Ignazio Bernardi). He adds that visual design touch which is a hallmark of Italian-made products and which is so widely appreciated worldwide. We have three girls who work in the office, dedicating meticulous attention to customers, company organization and the day-to-day running of corporate business. Likewise, in the production sector we can count on skilled staff who are whole-heartedly enthusiastic about their work.

For all of us at Icaro 2000, the name “4fight” has nothing to do with war. In fact, we believe in peace and in man’s wellbeing. That is why we started manufacturing helmets for the protection of those who take part in extreme sports. For us, “4fight” refers to the struggle with fear that we all go through at moments in which we accept a challenge. An internal fight towards self-improvement and the attainment of seemingly impossible goals.

Our company is committed to continuously improving the safety, comfort and design of our products. Therefore we reserve the right to modify the characteristics in any way, without any prior notice.
