Fresh Breeze
Respect
The Respect, introduced by German ultralight manufacturer Fresh Breeze in 2015, quickly became a hallmark of modern paramotor design. Conceived as a response to pilots’ demand for a lighter, more efficient platform, the Respect built on the company’s earlier Whisper line while incorporating advanced composite materials and a refined engine mounting system. Its 19‑inch three‑bladed propeller, paired with the 28‑hp Solo 210 engine, delivers a thrust‑to‑weight ratio unmatched among contemporary paramotors, allowing take‑off runs of less than 15 meters and climb rates exceeding 3 m/s. A patented vibration‑damping cage reduces fatigue and prolongs component life, while the integrated digital flight instrument suite provides real‑time fuel, temperature, and GPS data. Because of its minimal weight—just 8.5 kg with fuel—the Respect enables pilots to explore remote alpine valleys and coastal cliffs that were previously inaccessible to heavier rigs. Aviation schools have adopted it for advanced training, citing its predictable handling and rapid emergency descent capabilities. Overall, the Respect solidified Fresh Breeze’s reputation for innovation, influencing subsequent designs across the ultralight community and setting a new benchmark for performance‑oriented paramotors. Its straightforward maintenance routine, requiring only quarterly inspections, further contributed to its popularity among recreational flyers worldwide.
