BGD Breeze
Our lightweight sports-intermediate high-B, the BREEZE is a joy to fly. It’s the light version of the BASE 3, born from the BGD Performance Project, optimised for performance without increasing aspect ratio. It offers fun, dynamic handling with great feedback and super climb ability in thermals.
It is the perfect partner for vol-biv: light to carry with the performance to fly far, yet safe and easy to fly. The light sail rises easily to launch, and its super-safe stall behaviour makes it perfect for top-landing in the mountains.
It is very reassuring in turbulent air, thanks to its excellent pitch stability and low surge tendency. The all-important pilot feedback is there, and the BREEZE has BGD’s characteristic progressive stability: all our gliders have a very stable, solid centres with progressively softer tips; this means the tips warn about turbulence first, so the pilot can predict and avoid deflations and stay aware of the air.
The BREEZE will make you feel good in the air, and ready to tackle your most ambitious objectives. It’s a natural step up from a low-B like the ECHO 2 – you’ll notice the performance gains, but won’t be overwhelmed with extra workload. So what’s stopping you? Get planning some vol-biv adventures, pack a BREEZE and ride the wind!
