Pilot Profile:
Accessible to low-airtime pilots but with handling and performance that experienced pilots will love... perfect for first cross-countries or a go-anywhere glider for weekend pilots.The BGD Epic 2 is an EN-B paraglider that combines exceptional safety with fun and playful handling. It is tailored for low-airtime pilots venturing into cross-country flying, but equally appealing to more experienced pilots seeking a versatile, forgiving wing for weekend adventures and first freestyle manoeuvres. It features advanced BGD technologies such as a B/C Speed Steering system, Chord Cut Billow (CCB), Multi-Plastics for optimising span-wise stability, and Single Shark Plastic in the leading edge for easier packing and a solid profile. With a 45-cell design and an aspect ratio of 5.2, it offers improved glide and climbing performance compared to its predecessor, along with slightly more speed (+1km/h trim, +3km/h top).
