Alpha 
En-A
The new ALPHA takes the classic entry-level wing to the next level in terms of performance and passive safety. The more robust version of the ALPHA series is the ideal entry level wing and will continue to get you airborne safely and with great performance long after your finishing your license.

S&W Verdict
“Ideal as your first wing or for those who want the extra security of an En A rating.  All with the superb build quality of Advance.”

Alpha DLS
En-A
The ALPHA DLS is the lightweight version of the classic entry-level wing. Thanks to its lightweight construction and further design optimizations, it is up to 800g lighter and offers even greater glide performance than the Classic version. This makes it the perfect choice for Hike & Fly, travel, and even your first cross-country flights. First ALPHA DLS deliveries will take place from March.

Epsilon DLS
En-B
Progress, flight after flight: With the EPSILON DLS you can discover the whole spectrum of paragliding. Already in its 10th generation, the proven EPSILON is now available as a light glider in DLS quality. Just as perfect for starting cross-country flying as it is for hike-to-fly and travel.

Theta ULS
Mid-En-B
Brand New for 2024, the NEW Advance Theta ULS will slot in between the Epsilon DLS and the Iota DLS in terms of performance, but use the same super light construction of the awesome Omega ULS. Sounds like the perfect lightweight XC wing for travel!

S&W Verdict
“We’ll know more when we fly it, but this sound like the perfect wing for Vol Bir and travel as well as UK Hike and Fly and XC!”

IOTA DLS
High En-B
The IOTA 3 becomes the IOTA DLS. ADVANCE have been using the extra time to further develop the performance, handling and weight of our top-end B wing, achieving a new level of excellence in all three of these qualities. Welcome to the new IOTA DLS. The DLS stands for DURABLE LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE and signals the start of a new development philosophy combining structural innovation with a unique mix of materials.

S&W Verdict
“An amazing wing and a leader of its category! Climbs great in thermals and unbelievable performance… Demo one for yourself!”

Sigma DLS
En-C
Cross Country made fun! The new SIGMA DLS promises a performance boost and plenty of fun while thermalling thanks to its forgiving flight characteristics. The redesigned internal structure not only makes this cross-country sportster more powerful but also lighter. This is achieved with mini ribs featuring nitinol wires at the leading edge and a Durable Lightweight Structure that perfectly balances lightness and robustness. The SIGMA DLS weighs from just 3.70 kg.

S&W Verdict 
“The Sigma is such a longer running range of amazing gliders, we are really excited about the New two liner version!”

Omega ULS
En-D
Ultra-light and ultra competitive: that’s our new racing two-liner. It’s been developed for all those experienced pilots who want to achieve notable cross-country flights, competition rewards, and the mastery of new challenges. The OMEGA ULS is now available in 4 sizes, and impresses our X-Alps Team by its effortless handling, outstanding flight performance and very low weight starting from 3.05 kg.

S&W Verdict
“Amazing performance and stability in an ultralight package. Amazing to fly”

Pi3
En-B
For years the PI series has offered the best Hike & Fly package in terms of lightness in combination with a lot of performance and a definite fun factor. The “Light Versatility” motto will carry even higher significance in this third generation: there are two additional 21 and 25 sizes for the PI 3, and it is even lighter and more compact.

S&W Verdict
“The Pi 2 was a fantastic wing for Hike and Fly, or lightweight soaring on the local hill.  The Pi3 promised even more. Good performance for its weight, great sucurity, and nice handling. Give it a go!”

BIBETA 6
En-B
Flying should be fun. If you make ten flights a day as a professional tandem pilot – where efficiency, economy and passenger safety share priority – flying is often hard work. In the BIBETA 6 we have managed to achieve the difficult objective of packing the best of current tandems into one product – with no compromise: fun all round – all day.

PiBi
En-B
Light, fully-fledged and small when packed: many have been waiting for this tandem wing for Hike and Fly with friends and family. Now it’s here! The PIBI in one 37 m2 size weighs only 4.8 kg and has a takeoff weight range from 100 to 180 kg. This ADVANCE Light Tandem merges PI philosophy with the popular flying qualities of the BIBETA 6.
