Gin Vantage 4: The Adventure Starts Here
The Gin Vantage 4 is the perfect choice for beginner and intermediate paramotor pilots seeking a wing that is easy to handle, fun to fly, and packed with versatile performance. Whether you are taking your first steps into powered flight, exploring cross-country routes, or packing for a vol-bivouac adventure, the Vantage 4 offers the stability and agility to help you progress with absolute confidence.
Upgraded Rigifoil & Nitinol Technology
Compared to its predecessor, the Vantage 4 features a new half-rib Rigifoil construction and Nitinol rods. These lightweight "memory metal" rods are not only more durable and resistant to kinking than traditional plastic, but they also ensure an incredibly clean leading edge. This results in a wing that is lighter to carry, more compact to pack, and remarkably stable at high speeds.
Outstanding Take-off & Handling
Launching is the most critical part of any flight, and the Vantage 4 makes it effortless. Thanks to the optimized internal pressure and refined leading edge, the wing inflates smoothly and evenly in all conditions with zero tendency to overshoot. In the air, the pilot is rewarded with direct and precise brake feedback, making it easy to coordinate efficient turns and feel the air without being overwhelmed.
Increased Roll Stability
A primary focus of the Vantage 4's design was the reduction of unwanted roll. An updated line configuration and refined arc ensure the wing stays rock-solid on the roll axis across a wider range of motor and harness setups. This "damped yet responsive" character is exactly what pilots need for relaxing cruises or technical low-level flying.
Dual-Purpose DNA: Free Flight Ready
Because the Vantage 4 is based on the Calypso 2 (Gin’s lightweight EN-B free-flight wing), it is an exceptional "dual-purpose" glider. It is perfect for paramotor pilots who also want to enjoy thermalling and XC flights without a motor. The wing's light weight (starting at 4.4kg) and compact pack volume make it a top choice for hike-and-fly or traveling pilots.
Professional Riser & Trim System
The re-designed risers feature a new 85mm trimmer range, offering a significant speed increase for navigating head-winds or covering distance. The risers have been shortened for easier handling on the ground and in flight, and include a replaceable trim webbing system to ensure long-term durability for professional use.
