BGD Epic Freestyle 2 – Master Your Moves with Maximum Safety
Whether you are learning your first stalls, spins, SATs, and helicopters, or linking complex transitions like Joker and reverse maneuvers, the BGD Epic Freestyle 2 (Epic FS 2) has your back. Retaining a sweet 5.0 flat aspect ratio, the Epic FS 2 delivers the ideal balance of safety, playful handling, and high-end freestyle capability.
The real beauty of the Epic FS 2—and why instructors love it—is its incredible forgiveness. If a trick goes wrong or timing is slightly off, the wing stops shooting gently and recovers predictably like a standard EN-B glider. It resists cravats exceptionally well, making it the ultimate tool for safe progression in acro and freestyle training.
Key Design & Performance Features
- BGD Acro Risers: New neoprene-covered risers improve comfort and prevent line snagging during dynamic maneuvers. The speed system is smartly routed on the inside of the A-risers to stay completely out of the way during twisted moves.
- BGD Acro Handles: Comfortable, slim brake handles featuring neoprene-covered T-bars mounted at a natural angle for precise finger control and direct feedback.
- Chord Cut Billow (CCB): Spanwise leading-edge shaping removes excess panel ballooning to eliminate wrinkles, lower form friction, and improve overall stability.
- Impeccable Spiral Behaviour: Extensively tested across inclinations and sink rates to ensure it never locks into a stable spiral—an essential safety feature for a freestyle and school wing.
