BRIGHT3 - DHV 1

Bright3 è la 3a generazione delle vele intermedie basiche Gradient. Gradient has focused primarily on safety in the development the new Bright3 and important improvements in recovery behaviour have been achieved. Spiral recovery characteristics are a challenging feature of lower aspect ratio designs but the advanced testing and research at Gradient has resulted in a glider with an even greater degree of passive safety while maintaining good handling and performance for a paraglider in the DHV1 class.


The three riser system and line lay out of the Bright3 make for easy set up and easy launches and contribute to the glider's good overall performance and although Bright3 is aimed at new pilots Bright III offers cross country flying to those who know the sky.

GOLDEN2 - DHV 1/2

After three very succesfull „Golden" years Gradient is preparing a new intermediate glider; The Golden2 (DHV 1-2 category). The target group of pilots is the same as for the Golden2. (A typical DHV 1-2 glider). We have completely redesigned this new glider : number of cells is 50, new modified airfoils, new materials, new colour and colour combinations and the
Golden2 will be available in five certified sizes.

ASPEN2 - DHV 2

After three years of popular acclaim, excellent reviews and over 1200 Aspens sold world-wide, Gradient are replacing the Aspen with a new glider, The Aspen2, the next generation in the DHV 2 category.

Our target is clear.
To create an even better glider that will satisfy a similar pilot sector, keeping the comfortable but dynamic flying characteristics of the original Aspen but increasing the already high performance and safety margins. This is our way for the Aspen2. The Aspen2 has a new airfoil section and canopy curves; special focus has been given to the position, area and shaping of the air entry ports to ensure high stability over a very wide speed range (angle of attack). The forces in the wing are carefully calculated and balanced to give a flawless sail presentation and an intuitive feel to the flying. Gradient has paid attention to details too with new low drag micro attachment points on the wing tips and a new rucksack, inner bag and riser bag etc. Several new materials are used in the construction of the Aspen2, The suspension system is constructed of a new generation of Edelrid line, the 7443 series; and a new narrower webbing has been selected for the riser system. The sail is our proven combination of Porcher Marine Skytex S 9092 water repellent (45g/m2) for the upper sail and Porcher Marine Skytex S 9017 (40g/m2) for the lower surface. The ribs are of Porcher Marine Skytex.
The Aspen2 is presented in five attractive colour ways with a new design style and two new colours: orange and dark silver. Five standard sizes are available that together span a weight range of 65-130kg total weight, each size certified DHV2.

AVAX XC2

Avax XC2 is the second generation of Gradient´s high level XC glider.
Development started at the end of the 2006 season and the first hard proof that things looked really good came in De Aar where several challenging days with cloud base over 5000m MSL and thermals around 6-8 m/s gave average XC speeds over 55 km/h! We continued the development during spring and summer 2007 proving the new design and materials. Close to completion four prototypes where used in the extreme conditions of X-Alps 07 to give feedback for final refinements. Avax XC2 is optimized for excellent glide, handling and good behaviour while maintaining a high level of in-flight comfort for a glider in its "Open" category. The handling is precise and direct and the turn efficient. Gradient believes that the new Avax XC2 will find favour with experienced pilots looking for a high performance wing that is a pleasure to fly or new competition pilots who want to take a progressive approach in choosing a competition wing.

DELITE

Delite è la versione light del rinnovato modello Golden.
Delite non è solo un parapendio da montagna ma è anche la soluzione ideale per i piloti che apprezzano un'attrezzatura leggera e poco ingombrante adatta per viaggiare ma anche per la normale attività di volo. Il design della vela si basa su quello della Golden; ciò significa che la vela Delite ha un buon equilibrio tra stabilità e performance. Grazie all'utilizzo di una combinazione di diferenti materiali, Gradient ha ottenuto una buona durata, un contenuto peso della vela mantenendo ottime prestazioni.
