The EN C 2-liner race is in full swing! GIN was not the first to enter this race, having tested new technologies on the not quite "racy" Bonanza 3. So what is the GTO3, the first truly sporty GIN 2-liner with the EN C label?

Smart Nose, Smart Snake... The new DaVinci Mambo is fully charged, and the result is impressive!

Can a EN D 2-liner with an AR of about 7 be relaxed and comfortable? Swing has convincingly proved: it can!

Swing has released very different wings under the EN C label at different times. The legendary, very efficient but challenging Astral. The simple and comfortable Helios RS. The Libra RS is a search for a new balance. Did it work or not? Let's find out!

Axis is a firm with a complicated history of ups and downs. Since the early 2020s, it seemed that Axis' star had finally sunk. But no! Here is Axis' debut in the EN C twin-row class: the Axis Vega 6.

Three-liners are dead, long live two-liners! Certainly in the CCC and EN D classes. And in the EN C class, we're in for a big surprise. And its name is UP Trango X!

GIN's first two-liner with the EN C label: performance or comfort?

A.R. is almost 7, but the weight is less than 3 kg. EN D certification, but only because of the folding lines. All this is the new Klimber, now a two-liner!

An ambitious EN B glider from young and ambitious brand

Redefining the performance-to-comfort ratio in the EN D two-liner class

"Perfection is the only deadline" — this is 777's motto explaining the long R&D process for each Triple Seven glider. For Queen2 it has also been very long. But when you take this glider for test flight, the things become very, very fast!

The bright-tempered mid EN C having plenty of advantages and some weak points

All the best from UP, now in EN D 2-liner format!

Hi-tech 2-liner with PWC ambition but user-friendly mood!

A rare beast: a lightweight three-row with A.R. of about 7 for mountain flying.

It's not the first year that UP has confidently held the leadership in the top EN C wings segment. The Trango X-Race is another attempt to hold on to that leadership.

The cozy fireplace of a country villa, the 1958 Mouton-Rothschild glass, the Aston Martin in the garage... Sigmas by Advance occupy a well-deserved place in the same associative row, embodying the concept of values for wealthy gentlemen and their beautiful ladies.

Since 2010, Ozone has convincingly held the lead in the market for top wings. But until very recently, Ozone could not counteract the success of Niviuk, which created a market segment "just below the top". And now, finally, it has happened. Meet the Ozone Zeno! Formally EN D certified, but volatile and demanding CCC class. You can even rob a pigsty!

Looks like Markus Grundhammer's experiment with lightweight wings was quite successful! Meet the mountain EN C: Skyman Crossalps.

It would seem difficult to improve on a product as successful as the Cayenne 4. But the Skywalk Cayenne 5 is more than just a number change after the word Cayenne.

New times, new trends. The famous designer Michael Nessler, who has worked with many paraglider brands, is now also working with Icaro paragliders. So, Maverick3!

What happens if you take a good parafoil and turn it into a paraglider? And if it's the other way around? It's no secret that the famous paraglider manufacturer Skywalk and the equally famous kite manufacturer Flysurfer are practically one in two. Flysurfer kites are sincerely and deservedly loved by kiters all over the world. But I haven't held on to a Skywalker paraglider for a few years now. So, what has Skywalk managed to achieve in the fight against the dark side of paraglider perfection...?

Actually, the Polish company Dudek is best known for its motor machines. And they, in turn, are famous for their autostable profiles, which are commonly referred to by the cool and incomprehensible sounding word Reflex. But I haven't dealt with "dudeks" for non-motorized flight for several years now. And I dare say, that the modern Dudeks with no engine look a lot like Paramotor wings. More details are below.

After the very successful ParAAvis Joy "intermediate" it would be logical for Paraavis to launch a wing, which, being the "big brother" of the Joy and keeping all its advantages, would be positioned in the "performance" class. Dream fits perfectly into this concept, but it has its own features, its own strengths and weaknesses. What are they, read below!

Bright, ambiguous, appealing: that's how I see Bruce Goldsmith's new wing with the EN C label.
