BGD Epic freestyle size S

The BGD Epic Freestyle (Size S) is a specialized, EN-B certified paraglider designed for pilots transitioning into freestyle and acro maneuvers while maintaining high passive safety.

Derived from the original Epic, this wing is celebrated by instructors for its forgiving nature, which allows students to master transitions like stalls, spins, and Helis without the aggressive reactions of a dedicated acro wing.

Weight Range: 60–80 kg

Projected Area: 19.60 m²

Glider Weight: 4.6 kg

Flat Aspect Ratio: 5.0

Key Features
Forgiving Performance: Designed to “save the day” if timing is slightly off during maneuvers, behaving like a standard EN-B wing to prevent overshooting.

Cord Cut Billow (CCB): Advanced leading-edge technology that reduces wrinkles and improves surface finish for better performance.

Internal Structure: Uses a three-branched diagonal C-rib system to ensure structural integrity and a stronger wing even when brakes are applied.
