Diva
Striving for glory in the most prestigious cross-country competitions? The DIVA will take you to goal.
Pilot Profile:
Designed by a world champ for the next champ, the DIVA is for pilots who want the feel of 3-liner while benefitting from the performance of a 2-liner. This is a very high performance wing and is only for highly skilled competition-level pilots.The BGD Diva is an uncompromising high-performance competition paraglider certified in the CCC class. Developed by Bruce Goldsmith utilizing 25 years of competition experience, the Diva blends the accessible feel and progressive feedback of a 3-liner with the blistering raw performance of a 2-liner. Constructed from a hybrid mix of durable D30 and lightweight 27g Porcher fabrics, it features an ultra-aggressive shark nose for rock-solid stability at its top speed of 75 km/h. Key innovations include an integrated minimal-drag line layout, weight-optimized ribs, triple finger diagonals for structural integrity, and an ingenious Post C-band that prevents trailing edge buckling when braking. The design focuses on progressive stability, where a solid center is matched with softer tips, providing highly skilled pilots with intuitive feedback about the airmass rather than abrupt collapses. Designed specifically for the world's most prestigious cross-country competitions, the Diva is BGD's fastest and most advanced wing, built to take champions directly to the goal.
