Suitable for Beginners, low airtime pilots, maximum passive security, responsive handling. Less than 30 hours per year stay with DHV 1 confidence is everything.

Skywalk Mescal 2

The first glider with 5 stars!

Trend setting JET FLAP technology
of the 2nd generation, optimized thermalling properties, reassuring extreme flight behaviour.

HIGH-STABILITY CONCEPT
turbulence absorbing profile with adapted cloth tensions, a development in cooperation with our kite section, extremely high stability against collapses.

5 POINT START CHECK
integrated in the riser, a constant reminder to the essential check.

CROSSLINE,
an additional folding line, optimizes the size of the big ears and makes it easier to pull them, as well as making descent more reliable because of significant sink.

QUATTRO MATERIAL MIX
for an optimal canopy. On tactically chosen spots very light cloth is used, which directly improves starting behaviour, whereas at highly stressed areas, such as the top of the leading edge for example, material with extreme longevity, Porcher 9092E85A, is used.

What really sets the MESCAL 2 apart, though, is its extremely high fun factor!

Enjoying the paragliding sport, the direct handling and driving the very good thermal properties…

Ozone Mojo 3

DHV 1 - released 2009

*New for 2009

•Ideal for new pilots and anyone seeking EN A/B safety.
•Totally new design for 2009, with massive performance improvements.
•Total passive safety with top level performance in the category for XC flying.
logo

The Mojo is back, and better than ever. The Mojo 3’s central purpose is to provide the passive safety that pilots may rely on for their first stages of cross country flying, but the most significant improvement for this generation is in speed and glide performance.

The Mojo 3 is balanced and safe enough for a student’s first days on the hill, but has the agility and performance needed for 100km and longer XC flights.

With similar flight characteristics to its predecessors, the Mojo 3 has massive brake travel and a very comfortable feel. The wing inflates easily in no-wind conditions and has zero tendencies to overshoot in higher winds. Though precise, the brake travel is forgiving enough for a beginner to set up the slightly tighter landing patterns that XC flying introduces.

Major performance gains have been made through drag reduction and a more efficient trailing edge, due to a 10% reduction in total line length and more advanced internal construction at the trailing edge. These improvements have now put the Mojo 3 at the top of its category not only in terms of safety and handling, but in glide and speed performance as well.

The overall passive safety remains uncompromised and solid enough for any new pilot or for pilots for whom passive safety is paramount.

The new Mojo 3 is constructed from 45gm2 Porcher Sport Skytex cloth, which has proven to be a durable and reliable material with unparalleled longevity.

Gin Bolero 4

The Bolero 4 is ready!

DHV 1 - released 2010
The 4th generation of the Bolero emerges with high expectations and is ready to live up to its promise. From the first day on the training hill to regular cross country flights, the Bolero 4 will be your faithful partner and will bring the best out of you in any situation.
> 5 sizes: XS, S, M, L & XL
> Kick Down speed system
> Big ear system with split A risers
> An easier take-off with lighter inflation
> A flatter turn with a better sink rate
> More precision in turns and a more 'compact' feeling in the wing

> A ratio between performance and safety never before reached in this class
From the beginning to cross country flights
Gin's principle design consideration was to give pilots discovering paragliding a glider which is easy to fly, comfortable and extremely safe, which would also appeal to regular pilots wishing to fly totally relaxed. Gin has dedicated his days and nights to developing this amazing new wing. He flew hundreds of hours with prototypes until he was finally satisfied that the wing was just as he imagined.

Easy, progressive and fun

The latest materials and technologies have been used for the construction of the Bolero 4. Gin and his R&D team have spent a lot of time making the inflation perfect and homogeneous in all different kinds of conditions. The wing is thus easy to ground handleand very forgiving on take off. These improved characteristics are the result of a new leading edge that is reinforced with flexible plastic battens. This enables a reduction in weight over conventional mylar inserts, while maintaining the same aerodynamic characteristics. A big effort was made on reducing the weight of the glider—to improve the inflation, the performance and the general behaviour of the wing. The fabric for the top surface uses a water-based coating for better durability and resistance to porosity. In flight, the Bolero 4 is docile and damps air mass movements to keep the pilot serene at all times. A thorough trimming of the wing provides great stability on all axes, while still maintaining precise handling. The wing will obey any brake input immediately but without excess.
The sink rate has been improved to make it more efficient while thermalling and also to avoid beginners banking the glider excessively if they are too sudden on the brake. The brake travel is thus long and progressive. On landing, the Bolero 4 will only surprise you with its ease.

A new standard in its class

Gin Gliders is proud to release a wing with such good performance, especially in terms of handling. Among its competitors on the market, the Bolero 4 is the only high-level entry wing that is EN A and LTF A certified. This proves that the Bolero 4 is the right choice for students from their first steps in the air to their first long flights and much more. http://www.gingliders.com/products/boleropl_tec.phphttp://www.gingliders.com/paragliding/boleroIII.php

Gradient Bright III

DHV 1 - released 2006

New pilots, just like top professionals, need the best equipment. How fast and how quickly you progress in paragliding will depend, in part, on how safe and true your glider is. Bright III is designed to give you many hours and kilometres of enjoyable flying while maintaining the high safety standards of the DHV 1 class throughout the whole speed range and even when fully accelerated! Advanced features of Gradient's top models Avax, Aspen and Golden are to be found in the Bright III too! Closed cells at the tips, meshed parallel ports and zigzag main entry ports combine to give a glider that "reads the air truthfully", has super handling and delivers better performance than some DHV 1-2 paragliders!

The new shape of the cell openings allows excellent inflation over a wide range of attack angle so that launching and recovery is easy and efficient. The Bright III has a wide and useful speed range for a glider in the DHV 1 class.

Ozone Element

Solid, Stable, Safe- The student’s glider
Total safety and stability for student use
Easy to launch, land, and ground-handle
Highly durable, exceptional price

The Element has all of the crucial ingredients for what we think is a perfect glider to learn about the sport of paragliding. A low price, high durability, overall ease of use and uncompromised safety have combined to make this glider an ideal choice for schools. Created by three vastly experienced paragliding instructors, we think this is the best school glider we have ever seen.

We have designed the Element as the easiest, safest, most simple glider that Ozone has ever produced. Inflation and ground handling are exceedingly simple, and will vastly accelerate the students’ ground handling and launch learning process. The Element is very pitch stable, but at the same time features a long brake travel and excellent behavior at slow speeds with no deep stall tendency.

The Element’s top surface is constructed from Porcher’s new 45 Evolution fabric, which is coated for porosity and extremely stretch resistant. The Element is sure to last for hundreds of hours of training hill use and abuse.
