BGD Dual Lite

BGD Dual Lite: Lightweight Tandem for Big Adventures

The BGD Dual Lite is designed for the adventurous duo. Whether you’re planning a sunrise hike-and-fly, a multi-day vol-bivouac expedition, or simply want a lighter tandem for travel, the Dual Lite delivers the same award-winning handling and security as the original Dual in a significantly lighter package. At just 6.4kg, it allows you to carry more essentials (or maybe just a bottle of wine) for your mountain summit celebrations.

Key Lightweight Performance Features

• Optimized Weight Savings: By using a strategic mix of 27g, 34g, and 40g Porcher Skytex cloth, BGD has saved over 1kg compared to the standard Dual, making it one of the most portable tandems in its class.
• Effortless Two-Step Launch: Professional and recreational pilots alike will appreciate the high-lift profile that ensures a smooth, eager inflation and quick lift-off—perfect for technical mountain take-offs.
• Signature "Power Steering": The Dual Lite retains the famous BGD light handling. It feels more like a solo wing than a tandem, giving the pilot incredible feedback and precision while thermalling.
• Chord Cut Billow (CCB): Two chord-wise seams on the leading edge eliminate surface ripples and improve profile stability, ensuring a cleaner wing and better glide performance.
• Durable for the Long Haul: Despite the weight savings, durability remains a priority. The wing features sheathed aramid lines and a replaceable trimmer system to ensure it withstands the rigors of frequent mountain use.
• Smooth Passenger Experience: Designed with "Progressive Stability," the wing remains calm in turbulent air, providing a smooth and relaxed feel that keeps passengers comfortable and happy.
• Elliptical Cell Openings: These specialized openings improve lower surface tension, leading to smoother inflations and more reliable re-inflations in the rare event of a collapse.
