The new Bailey Thor is the product of 11 years in the PPG manufacturing business, during which time our machines have won countless National Championships, two European Championships and in 2009 the FAI World Championship.

Our machines are also the mount of choice for many hardcore cross country pilots completing many epic un-supported long distance trips. Due to the Polini pedigree many PPG manufacturers are now offering the Thor engine in their chassis. We have worked hard on the design of our new Bailey-Thor chassis to incorporate many convenient features not offered by our competitors.

The Bailey Thor uses the fantastic new Polini 2 stroke engine, which we are mightily impressed with and will be our lightest and most inexpensive paramotor. The decision to re-introduce a 2 stroke machine was made based on the performance vs weight characteristics of the new engine

The Polini engine is in our view the best 2 stroke paramotor specific engine ever made, is very nicely engineered, produced by a highly reputable company, is lightweight and has a 20.5HP power output @ 8900RPM.

The engine features an aluminium cylinder with Gilnisil coating with a 12.5:1 compression ratio, Walbro Carburettor with moulded intake silencer (optional Dellorto carburettor), lightweight 3.43:1 reduction drive and a simple manual pull start re-coil system and centrifugal (oil bath) clutch assembly. The engine weighs 11.8Kg (minus exhaust), is incredibly compact and is fitted with a 2 blade 1.10mØ or 1.30mØ (composite) or 1.25mØ (wooden) Polini prop, giving approx. 64Kg of thrust (1.25m prop version). The complete Bailey Thor paramotor weighs only 27.3Kg (ready to run, minus fuel). We can offer an optional small 12V 4ah battery that is charged from the engine to run accessories (please enquire for details).

The Bailey Thor is available only with our alloy chassis in 1.10mØ or 1.30mØ size (the 1.25mØ wooden prop version uses the 1.30mØ chasis/cage) with either standard fit mid or low hang bars or extra cost Active Chassis. We have no immediate plans to produce the Thor with our titanium chassis. All Bailey Thor paramotors are equipped with our standard quick release propeller system as standard.

With the exception of the engine and propeller, the Thor uses the same quality components as our range of 4 stroke machines, lightweight double hoop safety cage, bespoke Sup'Air harness with carry pockets and attached speed bar pulleys, alloy 10 L fuel tank (15L tank optional on 1.25mØ/1.30mØ versions), choice of mid or low stainless steel hang bars, Sup'Air carabiners and World Championship winning build quality.

The Bailey Thor has some unique design features and was designed in collaboration with Mike & Alex at SaberAce Paramotors.
