Gin Leopard

Gin Leopard: Pure Performance, Serial Class Accessibility

The Gin Leopard is a high-performance EN-D 2-liner paraglider engineered for ambitious cross-country pilots and competition racers. It bridges the gap between sports class wings and full competition machines, offering exceptional top-end speed and a cohesive, solid feel that significantly reduces pilot workload in turbulent air. If you are looking for a wing that "sniffs out" lift and maintains a rock-solid profile on full bar, the Leopard is your ideal partner.

High-Definition 86-Cell Construction

With an impressive 86 cells, the Leopard features an incredibly clean upper surface with minimal "ballooning" between the ribs. This high cell count, combined with internal transverse tension bands and trailing edge mini-ribs, creates a rigid, monolithic wing. The result is a profile that cuts through turbulence like a knife, preserving energy and maximizing glide efficiency in real-world mountain conditions.

Second Generation EPT Profile

At the heart of the Leopard is Gin’s 2nd Generation Equalized Pressure Technology (EPT). Through extensive CFD analysis, the wing's profile has been optimized to maintain consistently high internal pressure across the entire speed range. This provides the Leopard with its legendary pitch stability, allowing pilots to push hard on the speed bar through moving air without the wing "breathing" or losing performance.

Intuitive 2-Line Control & B-Steering

As a pure 2-liner, the Leopard features a refined riser system that allows for direct pitch management via the B-risers. This gives the pilot real-time feedback and the ability to catch surges or manage directional changes while fully accelerated without deforming the airfoil. Despite its high performance, the handling remains precise and coordinated, allowing for tight, efficient coring of even the most technical thermals.

Maximum Speed and Stability

The Leopard is designed to lead the gaggle. With top speeds exceeding 60km/h, it offers the penetration needed to push through strong valley winds. Its high spanwise tension makes it exceptionally collapse-resistant, while its natural tendency to pull forward into lift ensures you stay in the strongest lines during long-distance transitions.
