Pilot Profile:
The PUNK's lighter twin, the RIOT is for fun-seeking rebels looking to lighten the load for the ultimate freedom of the skies. The straight-talking RIOT tells you about the air, so you’re in control, while BGD handling, mid-B safety and high-B performance are the tools you need to be yourself and do your own thing. Break free, explore the skies and carve your own path. Have a Riot!The BGD Riot is a lightweight, EN-B certified paraglider, serving as the lighter twin to the Punk. Designed for vol-bivouac, hike & fly, and travel, it features an aggressive Shark Nose, Chord Cut Billow (CCB), and a Post-C band for enhanced profile stability without excessive heavy plastic rods. Coming in at around 20% lighter than the Punk, it offers direct, agile handling and reassuring 'Eyes Wide-Open' safety (mid-B safety with high-B performance). Its complex internal structure allows for maximised unsupported cells, reducing line consumption and drag.
