PARAGLIDERS WITH PERSONALITY
Base 2
En-B
More distance, more fun, the Base 2 inspires the confidence to fly further and expand your limits. It’s a cross-country wing you’ll feel at home on right away – love at first flight!

Its colourful, Aztec-inspired attire reflects its fun-loving nature, and it will instantly put you at ease. But don’t underestimate its serious side. You won’t tame its sporty, competitive streak and it’s proud to be top of the class when it comes to speed and performance. The Base 2 will work with you to achieve your shared goals, and then set new ones, expanding your potential while keeping you safe.
S&W Verdict
“Ideal XC and all rounder wing”
Base 2 Lite
En-B
The Base 2 Lite has the same performance, fun factor and handling as its sibling but it is up to 22% lighter. It’s high on performance, easy and intuitive to fly and perfect for XC, vol-bivouac or soaring, with the safety of EN-B certification.
S&W Verdict
“great performance and 22% lighter than the standard Base 2, perfect for the Hike &Fly category”
EPIC
En-B
The Epic is ideal for new and intermediate pilots about to embark on their first cross countries for the first time and a fun and versatile all-rounder for seasoned pilots.. The easy aspect ratio of 5.0 is the perfect balance between safety and performance. With only 42 optimised cells the Epic is a simple, rugged, and very clean paraglider.
S&W Verdict
“fun all-rounder for seasoned pilots.”
Cure 2
En-B
It has a brand new structure and a profile that’s closer to the Diva. BGD have upped the cell count to 74, and kept the same projected aspect ratio but reduced the arc, which means the flat aspect ratio is lowered to 6.4. The CURE 2 has an impressive top speed of 60km/h, yet full-speed asymmetric collapses are incredibly calm. Designed to be flown fast, the CURE 2 has a new light and efficient B/C steering system too. BGD have kept weight down by using Skytex 27 and 32 cloth, with Skytex 38 on the top-surface leading edge for durability.
S&W Verdict
“Designed for the XC pilot with safety in mind”
SEED
GROUNDHANDLE ONLY
The SEED is an affordable premier training paraglider, made for ground-handling only. The SEED was developed from the EN-B EPIC, and acts and feels like a full-size paraglider. It is made from durable 50g cloth and has three risers. It’s a fun accessory for parawaiting at take-off, practicing kiting, or just goofing around like Spiderman.
S&W Verdict
“A great wing to use to improve those ground handling skills”
