BGD Blizzard: The Perfect Storm of Speed & Safety
The BGD Blizzard is engineered for pilots who have mastered the basics and are hungry for more. This "Easy Reflex" progression wing offers a flurry of speed and a burst of performance to help you transition from school-level flying to cross-country adventures. It remains reassuringly stable in turbulent air while providing the agility and speed range needed to explore new horizons. If you're ready to graduate from your first wing, the Blizzard is your ticket to the next level.
Progression-Focused Performance Features
- Gentle Reflex Profile: The Blizzard’s new "Easy Reflex" profile provides enhanced stability at high speeds, making it comfortable for progressing pilots while still being forgiving enough for those early in their journey.
- Sliding A-Risers: Designed to prevent overshooting, the high-split sliding A-risers ensure a smooth, clean inflation even if the pilot’s launch pull is a bit too enthusiastic.
- Integrated Tip-Steering: Learn and perfect high-speed handling with dedicated tip-steering toggles. This allows for precise directional control during fast cruises without needing to engage the main brakes and disrupt the reflex profile.
- High-Efficiency Trimmer System: The Blizzard features 12cm of trimmer travel managed by smooth brass roller-cam buckles. Combined with 12cm of speed bar travel, you can reach top speeds of up to 54km/h with ease.
- BGD Parasim Optimized: Using advanced structural and aerodynamic simulations, BGD has fine-tuned the Blizzard to deliver a cohesive, "together" feel that translates to better performance and safety.
- Progressive Stability: The wing is designed with a rock-solid center and softer tips. This "tells" the pilot about the air conditions through harmless tip-tucks before a major event can occur.
- Versatile Hangpoint Ready: Whether you fly a high or low hangpoint paramotor, the Blizzard is ready. The risers include adjustable pulleys and snap locks for quick and easy setup.
- Durable Materials: Built with high-quality Porcher Skytex 38g/m² cloth on top and robust internal structures, this wing is made to endure the long hours of a pilot’s progression phase.
