The Gin Explorer 2 (Size S) is a lightweight, high-performance EN-B paraglider designed for cross-country (XC) and vol-bivouac flying, featuring a certified takeoff weight range of 75–95 kg.
Key Specifications & Sizing
- Takeoff Weight Range: 75–95 kg (all-up weight including pilot, wing, harness, and gear).
- Aspect Ratio: 6.0 (offers high XC performance while remaining manageable within the EN-B category).
- Classification: High EN-B (tailored for experienced, current intermediate pilots transitioning to serious cross-country flying).
- Reinforcements: Nitinol rods provide excellent compressibility, enabling a very compact packing volume.
Flight Characteristics & Handling
- Thermal Performance: Exceptional climbing ability and floating efficiency, especially when flown near the upper end of the weight range (around 92–93 kg).
- Brake Pressure & Feel: Light to progressive brake pressure with agile, highly responsive handling. The brake travel is slightly longer than aggressive sports wings, keeping it stable and forgiving.
- Pitch Stability: It behaves as a cohesive, comfortable unit that stays remarkably stable in active, turbulent thermal air.
- Upgraded Risers: Outfitted with a refined smart B-C riser control system utilizing Harken pulleys for smooth, efficient rear-riser steering during accelerated transitions.
- Speed Range: Accelerator travel is extended by 2 cm compared to the original version, providing an extra 13–14 km/h of speed over trim when fully accelerated.
