Back Bone designs and manufactures a whole range of products for the paramotor, the incomparable aircraft that provides a unique flight experience and the discovery of new horizons. Since 1993 Thierry Simonet, parachutist and paraglider since 1984, has been working on the concept of a simple, light, high-performance paramotor that can be transported in the car trunk, or the cargo hold.

In 1995, we released the first paramotor using a small engine, a 125cc with rotodynamic clutch, a “bundle” cage made of fiberglass, all in a bag the size of a suitcase. In 1996, while all the engines used come from the agricultural field with capacities from 200 to 430cc, used either live or reduced by belts, we work with Massimo Rossetti of Vittorazi on the base of mini-motorcycle engine to create the first specific motor for the paramotor: a 67cc with centrifugal clutch, mechanical reducer, and liquid cooling. In 2000, again in collaboration with Massimo Rossetti, we released the first engine designed entirely for the paramotor: the ROS 100. The range evolves and expands on four other powertrains, including the ROS 125 Light, which is often imitated and remains unmatched in terms of weight/power/reliability.
