BGD Base 3

BGD Base 3: Top-of-the-Stack XC Performance

The BGD Base 3 is designed for the cross-country pilot who wants the competitive edge of a 2.5-liner while maintaining the comfort and security of the EN-B class. Sharing design DNA with the Diva 2, the Base 3 features a high arc and short lines for maximum glide efficiency and incredible pitch stability. It is a "feel-good" glider that talks to the pilot through "BGD Feedback," providing the information you need to stay in the core while remaining rock-solid on speed bar thanks to its reflex profile.

Advanced Sports-Class Features

• 2.5-Liner Technology: This hybrid layout significantly reduces line drag and provides the direct "two-liner feel" through the rear risers, allowing for effortless pitch control during accelerated flight.
• Reflex Profile & Pitch Stability: The reflex design generates natural pitch-up tendency, making the wing highly collapse-resistant at high speeds. It ensures the glider stays overhead without surging, even in strong mountain winds.
• Innovative Winglets: A first for BGD, these winglets act as a passive safety feature, helping the glider naturally exit from steep spiral dives without compromising handling or performance.
• High Arc & Short Lines: This geometry, optimized through BGD’s Performance Quest project, improves glide ratio and results in extremely gentle collapse behavior and a lively, fun roll response.
• Tapered Planform & Wide Speed Range: The sharp taper maximizes glide and reduces stall speed, making the Base 3 a "top-landing demon" and providing a huge margin for error during slow-speed flight.
• Premium Unsheathed Lines: Equipped with waterproof Edelrid 8001U aramid lines, the Base 3 is built to stay in trim and maintain its performance over years of intensive XC flying.
• C-Riser Steering Cradle: Ergonomic neoprene handles on the C-risers provide comfortable and effective pitch control without the risk of catching lines.
