Bantam 2
Built for para-alpinists
Pilot Profile:
The BANTAM 2 is aimed at pilots who like to fly small, manoeuvrable, ultralight paragliders. With regard to pilot experience, the well-known rule applies: the skill required increases with the wing loading. So if you fly the BANTAM 2 12 (EN D) at the upper end of the weight range, you must expect very dynamic flight behaviour. Accordingly, a high degree of wing control is needed. In contrast, the BANTAM 2 in size 14 (EN C) is quite a tame mountain glider when loaded in the lower third of the certified weight range.The BANTAM 2 is an ultralight miniwing (starting at 1.6 kg), perfect for hike & fly, climb & fly, and para-alpinism. It features improved glide performance, stability, and even simpler launch behavior thanks to extremely short lines compared to its predecessor.
