The Bright5 is a perfect glider for novice pilots beginning their flying experience. Our development team based the design of the Bright5 on the concept of flying pleasure. With easy inflation characteristics, beautiful handling, and fantastic passive safety the Bright5 is a great glider to learn to fly with. The Bright5 is part of the small group of gliders which exist that allow us to limit and eliminate pilot errors and imprecisions, with large brake travel, and excellent general balance on every axes. However the Bright5 stands out from other wings in the same class because of a confirmed superiority in what concerns pitch thus making it even more interesting in several areas of pilot progression.

The Golden 5 is the latest wing from the Gradient development team. The wing is the follow-up to the most successful Gradient model ever, the Golden series. The result is pure style, an aerodynamic design with an incomparable variety of uses and the potential to meet the demands of all kinds of pilots.
The agility, lift, performance and speed of the Golden5 are backed up by strong passive safety. Gradient’s typical sensitive handling and immediate feedback means pilots relax and quickly start to fly in harmony with the wing. It makes the Golden5 a truly reliable partner. Flying becomes intuitive, leaving your mind free to concentrate on making decisions about your flight. 
Our aim was to create a glider which would follow tumultuous development of paragliding technology of the last years and at the same time would use the latest know-how in the development of materials. A glider which would bring further improvement of performance and still keep pilot comfort, dynamics, handling and safety typical for Gradient´s gliders. 
The glider also behaves in a calm and predictable way in extreme situations, leaving you confident of your safety while you regain normal flight – no matter if it was you or turbulence that caused the trouble. Flying the Golden5 starts with the typical, easy take-off characteristics Gradient pilots all over the world appreciate. In the air, the Golden5 thermals flat, even when flying small circles. The wing reacts immediately to weight shifting and has precise brakes. Well-balanced wing dynamics and a defined stall point give this intermediate glider typical Gradient handling.

Montana3 is a light glider with high passive safety and can be used for any type of flying. It is designed not only for the passionate hike and fly pilot but also for the occasional pilot who wants a light and easily packable glider with a long life span.

To prolong the wing‘s life span, Montana3 has been designed and created from the best possible materials. Skytex by Porcher is used for the whole wing. For the section of glider which endures the most stress - the middle of the top layer - we chose Skytex 32g/m2 especially for its longevity. For the bottom layer and non-supporting ribs, we decided to use the lightest fabric, Skytex 27g/m2. The lines are made of Aramid and Dyneema from well-known manufacturers Liros and Edelrid. The risers are made from light 15mm wide webbing.

Montana3 is simple to launch, even in tricky conditions. Thanks to durable material on the top layer and covered main lines, it is possible to take off even from rocky ground with minimal risk of damage to the wing. During flight, Montana3 is stable even when flying at full speed. In turbulent air, the glider is solid and maintains its performance. Montana3 has easy and intuitive handling with excellent performance for its certification. Landings are easy and Montana3 flares nicely. Thanks to the glider‘s great performance potential and wide range of flight speed, it is possible to land even in tricky spots.

Light and durable materials, easy handling, the latest technologies, high quality of manufacturing processes and completely made in Europe… That‘s Montana3.

Xstyle - entry level acro/freestyle glider

When I started to fly acro, the right way to learn was to take a low en B and practice the first maneuvers safely with it until you mastered them. Nowadays people tend to try and go too fast to a freestyle or acro wing; doing so, they waste time and lack safety within their acro progression. For several years, I have been advising pilots around the world to learn acro with an "easier" glider. And that is how the idea of the Xstyle came in. An easy, safe and reliable glider with which it is very easy to learn all the easy maneuvers from wing over, stalls, deep stalls to some more technical ones like the helico, tumbling and so on. I have been giving advice on how to learn acro for quite some time now (through tutorials, magazines or on take-off sites) so when we started to work on the Xstyle with the Gradient R&D team I had a pretty clear idea on how the glider should be behaving and what its characteristics should be. The ideas behind the Xstyle was to have a very safe glider which every pilot could fly safely while still being able to give the energy needed for the acro tricks. I tried to put all my knowledge and experience into trimming this glider so it could give the opportunity to every pilot to learn and train acro safely. The Xstyle has a precise but still long brake range, a custom-designed brake setting in order to have easier and more stable helicos and a huge passive safety during all the shoots and collapses that young acro trainees may encounter. I am confident that the Xstyle will be able to put smiles on the face of every pilot and help them go further into their acro career.

We are pleased to introduce at Gradient our new high-performance EN C glider ASPEN6. By using the latest knowledge within the field of paragliding construction as well as the sophisticated and well proven Gradient technology (DDsystem, VOsystem, Everlast,…) we have obtained a brand new concept which has shown itself to be amazing starting immediatly from the first moment in the air. With its high performance parameters Aspen6 has a very predictable behavior as well as the sportive and direct handling so typical to Gradient gliders. Aspen6 has a brand new front shape of the canopy and a slightly higher aspect-ratio (compared to Aspen5) with a special wing tip twisting for the lowest possible induced drag. New line layout with uncovered lines for minimal drag together with an aerodynamically clean canopy of 66 cells ensure very high performances in a wide range of speeds. Aspen6 is a pure sport wing designed for pilots with the desire for limitless cross-country flights. Aspen6 has been developed since the begining as a semi light, sportive glider. The R&D team has reached this target perfectly. The weight of Aspen6 in size 26 is 4,65 kg only. This is an amazing result regarding the complexity of this advanced glider design and the materials combination that has been used.

For our development team, to design a new tandem glider is not only a great pleasure but also a great challenge, especially after the successful BiGolden3 model. After four years on the market, BiGolden3 is still the most successful tandem glider and also to be true inspiration for other designers.
 Generally, to design a new tandem wing means to utilise as many of the latest innovations and technical solutions as possible to create a single compact design which exceeds expectations. In the case of the BiGolden4, we have been working for eight months on development and flown lot of hours in all possible conditions using six different prototypes. The development of the new wing was quite straight forward and very effective, so now we can proudly introduce the successor of the legendary BiGolden3 – the new BiGolden4.

For more information on the BiGolden4, visit Gradient's website.

The BiGolden4 Light keeps all the great handling of the standard version of the BiGolden4 all the while being easier at takeoff, It has easier brake controls, all the while being a lighter version (-1kg for the 37m2 and – 700g for the 42m2).

HIKE AND FLY

Predictable and pleasant takeoff characteristics and an optimal weight make this a tandem perfectly adapted to hike-and-fly. The materials used allow us to retain a great lifespan for the glider thanks notably to our choice of double coated Skytex Everlast for the leading edge.
