BGD Lynx 2: High-Performance Lightweight EN-C
The BGD Lynx 2 is the ultimate choice for cross-country pilots who refuse to be weighed down. Built to excel in the most demanding mountain environments, this lightweight EN-C wing offers a rare combination of high-end performance and a massive comfort factor. Its 2.5-liner hybrid construction provides the aerodynamic efficiency and rear-riser precision of a racing wing, yet it remains incredibly easy to launch, pack, and top-land in tight mountain spaces.
Mountain Performance Features
- Hybrid 2.5-Liner Design: By using a three-line layout in the center and a two-line layout at the tips, the Lynx 2 achieves higher performance and reduced weight while maintaining a long, safe brake range for technical landings.
- Featherweight Construction: Weighing between 3.2kg and 4.3kg, the Lynx 2 is among the lightest in its class. It utilizes Porcher Skytex 27g/m² cloth, with reinforced 32g/m² sections on the leading edge for long-term durability.
- Compact & Easy Packing: The 2.5-liner layout allows for shorter plastic reinforcements in the leading edge only. This results in a tiny pack volume, making it perfect for hike-and-fly races and small rucksacks.
- "Leave No Trace" Handling: Known for its "BGD Feedback," the Lynx 2 talks to the pilot, making it easy to anticipate and avoid deflations. Its progressive stability ensures a solid center and softer tips for maximum safety in strong air.
- Effective B/C Steering: The new-design risers feature a light and effective rear-riser steering system, allowing you to stay on the speed bar and control the wing efficiently through turbulent air.
- Spiral Safety System: An innovative internal rib design ensures the wingtip cells lose pressure in a deep spiral, helping the glider automatically recover without pilot input.
- Easy-Handling Risers: Despite its lightweight nature, the Lynx 2 uses 12mm Kevlar-reinforced webbing risers instead of thin Dyneema strings, ensuring easier preparation and better durability.
