Defiant ACS/DFS VS Base, Light Weight Options

[@adamtotherow3422]

As soon as I'm done at the VA with my chemo treatments, I want to go back to work to get one. I love the design.

[@rodnocker6172]

Instead of complaining about the weight do some exercises build strength up. Other words get off the couch. More up grades transfer to higher price. What I have viewed in all the videos out there very well constructed high quality product at a super price! Hope to get one before the experts in KZbin drive the price to level of competition! American made by vets super price more affordable to larger population! Thanks for your service brother vet also 🇺🇸

Thank you Gravity for these informative videos which builds in me as a recent Defiant owner increased understanding which lends to confidence and overall satisfaction with my purchase. Please keep them coming and I will keep providing feedback. Thank you. -Jim

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Jim, which dealer did you use?

[@jimcr120]

@@Chris-Fennimore Howdy Chris. I got it through CloudbasePPG in Zephyrhills, FL. He has a website but if you want more info just ask. i still have all the contact info. If you get one let me know in case you encounter the same issues as I and I might save you a bit of frustration and time.

[@gravityparamotors]

Jim, Thanks so much for the support. We will keep trying to keep everyone informed about what is going on and changing.

[@thecarsonsorg]

Great Video ! Keep them coming.

[@gravityparamotors]

Thanks, will do!

[@AyalaRamos]

I love the idea, concept and execution, but I have a question regarding the lateral movement of the swing arm. The question is if this will not add additional stress to the swing arm on it most critical point (close to the attachment point with the arms). My question is if the aluminum will not suffer great lateral forces that could lead to a catastrophic failure in the swing arm at the point it meets the adjustable arm.

[@gravityparamotors]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, this was a concern of ours and something we spent considerable time testing. We use 7075-T6 in our swing arms for this reason and have extra structural bracing machined in to handle these additional loads. If you view our other videos you will see that we have successfully completed in house stress testing significantly exceeding real world stresses. Let us know if you have any further questions.

[@gsp2west]

Great work on the weight savings. For me it's very important. This is my 21st year flying and I've gone through the heavy frames in years past. I currently have a Nitro 200 E with over 150 hrs and will be upgrading in the near future. The Gravity is on my radar and I look forward to seeing the final weight saving product.

[@gravityparamotors]

Right now our lightest you could have is 66lbs but stay tuned as we have our sights on -64 but it make take us a little while.

[@Chris-Fennimore]

Wow.. good tips and tricks. I like this series. Very cool 👍😎👍

[@gravityparamotors]

We will try to keep it up.

[@unabel987]

With that giant tank I wonder if when the EOS Quattro motor comes out if it will mount to the defiant. What a great combo that would make for cross country!!

[@gravityparamotors]

Currently the Defiant is only offered with a Vittorazi 185

[@scaryberrygroupie4390]

Nice presentation. I learned a lot.

[@gravityparamotors]

Glad to hear it! We will try to keep them flowing.

[@chrisbaranyk5380]

Very informative. Thank you!!

[@gravityparamotors]

We are trying to make head way. Thanks

[@sawekparalusz6515]

Great! Will they be available in Europe?

[@gravityparamotors]

We are working with potential dealers now. You can always reach out to any of the dealers listed here. gravityparamotors.com/dealers/

[@sawekparalusz6515]

@@gravityparamotors Thank you for your answer. Please tell me, can I mount the Tornado 280 motor in the Gravity housing? Is it possible to only buy Gravity?

[@gravityparamotors]

@@sawekparalusz6515 Currently they are only sold as complete units with the Vittorazi.

[@richardporter4873]

Any timeline on UK distribution and price point? Also re interchanging hoop sections weight v's robustness - on this idea will titanium be a possible future option?

[@rupman27isback]

So what's the new weight now with the aluminum hoops and with the 185 motor? I heard somewhere that the fuel tanks first mold had extra plastic and now it's lighter. Any truth to this?

[@32laurens]

Love the series, keep 'em coming! Also: I hope to become an Australian customer, any plans for distribution here (I know you have a dealer here, will they be selling Defiants?)

[@gravityparamotors]

Yes our current dealer in AU sells Defiant. Thanks so much.

[@cryalowicki]

How is the compatibility with a Pollini 202? Will you be offering different engine options?

[@gravityparamotors]

Currently it is only offered with the 185. The engine is TIGHT to your back. While we are looking at options of making new molds to fit more engines it is not today. You can reach out to one of our dealers and request the 202 on the Defy how ever.

[@32laurens]

@@gravityparamotors On that subject, any plans for the Atom 80?

[@Dreaklock]

It looks like the arm peg is beefy as all hell and can take a ton of abuse. However, the one thing I noticed that kind of concerns me is the actual arm itself seems like it's only secured on by that little puck and that little screw on the end. Can you please put my mind as ease that the puck and little screw wont sheer off in flight? What good is a beefy arm peg if the arm itself is only secured by a small shallow screw on puck?

[@freddiemoench2551]

Can you mount this to a trike? I'm disabled and WANT THIS SETUP.

[@gravityparamotors]

We do not currently offer a trike direct however it will go on to several. Talk with Chad at trike buggy www.trikebuggy.com He can get you set up with both a Defiant and a trike.

[@randymcleanwo5m373]

I am seriously considering getting the Gravity Defiant. I do have a question and it is unrelated to this video. Are there any trikes that compatible with the Defiant? I foot launch right now, but due to back problems I see myself transitioning to a trike later(hopefully a lot later). I like the price point and feature set of the defiant.

[@gravityparamotors]

There are several trikes that could be adapted yes but it would take some custom mounting solutions. 2021 it is in our planning to more widely support a trike option.

[@mkers4633]

Are you going to have the option of larger props it the future? ie. 140cm

[@gravityparamotors]

We don't currently have any plans to making our cage any larger.

[@Kevin-oz9fw]

How tall is the Gravity from its bottom to highest point on the net ring? Thanks

[@jimcr120]

Howdy Kevin. I’m not a rep but rather a recent Defiant owner. Mine stands 57 5/8” tall at the highest point.
