Experience the Storm: BGD Typhoon – The Ultimate Adventure Wing
Available now at Sky Riders, the BGD Typhoon is the latest evolution in lightweight reflex technology from Bruce Goldsmith Design. Engineered for pilots who crave a blend of "accessible performance" and "playful handling," the Typhoon is designed to turn every flight into a high-energy adventure.
Sky Riders Expert Insight: "The Typhoon sits perfectly between the Blizzard and more advanced wings. Its lightweight sail makes light-wind launches effortless, and the reflex profile keeps you rock-solid when the sea breeze picks up."
Key Features:
- Effortless Launching: Thanks to a lightweight sail (only 4.2kg for the size 20), the Typhoon rises cleanly and stabilizes overhead, making it ideal for tricky take-offs.
- Easy Reflex Profile: Experience incredible pitch stability at speed, allowing you to cruise cross-country with total confidence.
- Roller Cam Trimmers: New smooth-action brass roller-cams ensure slip-free, easy adjustments on the fly, reducing wear on your webbing.
- Tip-Steering Toggles (TST): Standard-fit toggles allow for precise directional control without touching the brakes—perfect for accelerated flight.
- Versatile Risers: Ready for both high and low hangpoint paramotors, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific frame.
