After 5 years of loyal service ( & 1 World Record and 4 UK (Local) Records), Gradient have officially announced the replacement of the Bi-Golden; with a new tandem glider, the Bi-Golden 2. The brake pressure of the Bi-Golden 2 is lower than its predecesor and the wing is lighter making launching even easier. It has a slightly wider weight range (additional 10kg on the 42) and both a higher trim and top speed (achieved by long (8cm) trimmers). According to Gradient director and test pilot Ondrej Dupal, the Bi-Golden 2 should hit the primarty target of professional tandem pilots who appreciate agile flight characteristics. The direct and easy handling should also suit those wanting to fly long cross country flights. The glider also features the ability to' lock' big ears in place.
Test reports are here for the 42 (140-220kg) and the 39 (115-180kg). The Para2000 report is here.
The wing is available in 3 standard colour combinations and custom colours with a white underside for those wanting to add logos.
