BGD Echo 2

BGD Echo 2: Your Lightweight Multi-Purpose Superstar

The BGD Echo 2 is the lightweight version of the popular Epic 2, shaving off a full kilogram of weight without compromising on durability or performance. It is designed for pilots who value a small pack size and easy carrying but still want a "real" wing for cross-country flying and vol-bivouac. Whether you are a relatively new pilot or a veteran mountain explorer, the Echo 2 provides the perfect blend of passive safety, "BGD Feedback," and adventurous spirit.

Hike, Fly, and Explore Features

• Ultra-Lightweight Spirit: Starting at just 3.4kg (size XS), the Echo 2 uses premium Porcher 27g/m² cloth and weight-optimized internal ribs to reduce your pack weight for long mountain ascents.
• Hybrid Durability: While lightweight, the leading edge features sturdier 38g/m² cloth in the center to ensure the wing withstands the rigors of rocky launches and daily use.
• B/C Speed Steering: Pilot the wing efficiently with the rear risers while using the speed bar. This system allows for precise direction and pitch control during long glides without deforming the profile.
• Effortless Launching: The light sail rises smoothly in the slightest breeze and settles reliably overhead, with no tendency to overshoot—perfect for tight or technical mountain takeoffs.
• Small Pack Size: With short rods in the leading edge and none in the trailing edge, the Echo 2 folds down compactly, fitting easily into lightweight hike-and-fly rucksacks.
• User-Friendly Risers: Unlike many lightweight wings with "string" risers, the Echo 2 uses standard 12mm Kevlar/nylon risers and sheathed lower lines for easier handling and tangle-free preparation.
