GIN GLIDERS Bandit 2

Gin Gliders Bandit 2 – Lightweight intermediate EN-B wing TAKE OFF INTO ADVENTURE Designed for pilots looking for genuine cross-country adventures and the freedom of flying from mountain to mountain with only their paraglider and bivouac gear, the GIN Gliders Bandit 2 combines a true ultra-lightweight concept with the performance cues of a higher-aspect wing. Whether you’re stepping into long-distance flying, chasing hike-and-fly adventures, or your next mountain flying trip, the Bandit 2 offers you the perfect partner. A NEW CATEGORY OF ITS OWN The GIN Glider Bandit 2 stands in a category of its own. It’s gentle and stable enough to inspire confidence in pilots venturing into thermal and cross-country flying, yet it retains the instinctive feel and pitch dynamics that experienced pilots appreciate. This unique balance between stability, thermal sensitivity and precise brake authority makes it a true all-rounder – a wing that adapts effortlessly to your progression, your flying style, and your ambitions. Ready to launch, everywhere, everytime. READY TO LAUNCH, EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME Thanks to its lightweight construction and refined internal architecture, the Bandit 2 offers a take-off behaviour comparable to a dedicated mountain wing. The canopy rises smoothly and progressively, even in little or no wind, requiring minimal input from the pilot. Its pitch-stable character and the tendency of the wing to sniff the lifting airmass, generates early lift and compact inflation in all wind conditions – from alpine hike & fly starts to everyday cross-country sites. LIGHT AND COMPACT The Bandit 2 was conceived as an ultralight wing from the very first sketch. Every parameter – from the internal architecture to the line geometry and cell construction – has been optimised from the ground up to achieve the lowest possible weight without compromising performance, handling or durability. This meticulous design approach delivers a wing that feels refined, smooth and perfectly balanced in the air. Its lightweight structure enhances pitch and roll damping, providing a coherent and intuitive feedback throughout all the flying conditions. Thanks to the use of Nitinol rods in the leading edge, the Bandit 2 also offers remarkably compact packing and a consistently clean upper surface, making it the perfect companion for hike & fly and cross-country adventures alike. REDEFINED RISERS Simplicity through design. Every detail of the Bandit 2 risers has been refined to the essentials. The new design is lighter, cleaner and more intuitive, offering a direct, user- friendly experience both on the ground and in the air. Standard risers: 12 mm Aramid & Polyester riser Additional option: For pilots who want to go even lighter and more compact, an optional Dyneema riser is available. This saves around 150 g compared to the standard riser.
