hubnerfalkThe pictures clearly show a ParkerG2-compatible refill.

JohnRCooperNo, I mean Parker G2. They are both named G2. Yes, really. And the refill in the pictures on the overview page happens to be the Parker-style G2.
Any number of compatible refills can be found here: https://www.cultpens.com/c/q/explore/product-type/refills/parker-type-g2-refills (I have no affiliation with cultpens; I've simply shopped with them in the past)

keybersAh, thank you for the clarification.
It is very confusing (and disappointing) that Pilot uses the G2 designation for their rollerball pens/refills, but they are not conformant to this "Parker G2" standard. I really like the flow of Pilot's G2 cartridge, along with their Navy ink color.

JohnRCooperWhile _Pilot_ G2 is off-topic for this particular drop, if we are just sharing opinions already, I'm pretty meh about Pilot G2s. Best, smoothest rollerball I've ever tried was Schneider Topball 850, which can be put anywhere where a Pilot G2 can be put. Not the other way around, though, because Pilot G2, while mostly conformant to the Euro-refill format, has an ever so slightly thicker "nose" part (the one which ends with the taper directly to the ball), so Pilot G2s can_not_ be put in some rollerball pens that are out there. I've had some Pilot G2 refills go way too skippy on me (same for the Schmidt P8127 that everyone for some reason fawns over—the Retro51 and the Baron Fig Squire rollerball refill; I had to throw out the refill that came with my Retro51 Tiki-Kona because it was an _immense_ pain to use). I think people learn to love what they have, and if you have not seen anything beyond a Pilot G2, you'll love it. But not if you've had the opportunity to try other stuff. So, for Eurorefill-compatible rollerballs, I highly recommend Schneider Topball 850. The flip side of the immense smoothness is that on poor-quality paper, it'll start to bleed through sooner than a comparable width Pilot G2 as the quality of paper goes down; but oh is it a joy to write with!
Of course, to avoid confusion for anyone who'd read this thread, I'd like to underscore once more that the pen in this drop uses the _Parker_ G2 refills. Among those, I prefer either Stabilo (best) or Faber-Castell (second-best) refills; not Parker's very own. OHTO needlepoints are very smooth too, but they tend to blob which can get annoying.
