The ULX offers an exciting combination of lightness and performance, making it the perfect choice for high-performance soaring and hike-and-fly adventures. Pilots intending to fly the smaller sizes must be experienced speed flyers and all sizes require skills in using the risers for pitch and roll control to maximize the glider’s performance and potential.

THE TECH

Ozone’s pioneering SharkNose technology is at the core of this next generation design, allowing for short take-offs in technical terrain, and overhead stability at increased speeds.

Dominico N10D canopy fabric makes this a featherweight addition to your pack, while a pulley-riser system and enhanced weight-shift characteristics grant ultimate piloting precision.

THE LITE LEGACY

Over the past 20 years of lightweight glider development at Ozone, our ultra-light wings have launched from the summit of Everest, competed in every edition of the X-Alps, and broken vol-biv distance records around the world. The ULX incorporates this history into a compact, high-performance mini-wing that merges Ozone’s “Speed” category with our highest performing broad scale glider technology.

A very intuitive, stable and safe wing, it has greater features and performance than the previous model. Ideal for progressing, as well as taking the leap to new and different modes of flying. With optimized handling to enhance the pilot´s flying experience.

Hike & fly

Take off anywhere without issues. Ascend to the top in comfort, with a glider that is compact, easy to carry and pack. Enjoy different adventures combining mountaineering and flying.

Optimal maneuverability

A wing to progress with – easy to fly and with simple and intuitive handling. Maintaining the excellent characteristics of the Hook 5 P, this sixth generation offers great handling due to an outstanding maneuverability.

Light and durable

The Hook 6 P features reinforced Kevlar risers which weigh less and are much stronger. The webbing has been reduced from 21 mm to 12 mm. Therefore, drag has been subtly reduced.

The canopy is made of light and durable materials reducing the weight of the glider without compromising its durability.

The upper surface is made of Dokdo 32 gr/m2 and the lower surface is made of Skytex 27 gr/m2 (the wing weighs only 3.4 kg in size 22).

Smooth and progressive

Completely solid throughout the speed range to give the pilot confidence. Ability to take off from any terrain, with easy and progressive inflation. The long brake travel offers full control, allowing for a smooth and much safer landing.

Maximum stability in flight

The roll movement has been optimized for stability and comfort in flight. Excellent thermal performance, the wing has a perfect turbulence absorption capacity.

DESIGNER’S NOTES
At BGD we believe in Progressive Stability. Our new simulation program enabled us to tune the span-wise tensions of the CURE 2 in order to achieve the perfect balance between structural rigidity and the wing’s ability to communicate to the pilot about what is happening in the air. This understanding of the air empowers pilots to fly appropriately for the conditions. Of course the CURE 2 has good inherent stability too. We opted to use full chord plastics in the central area of the wing to give it good structural stability, but towards the tips the plastic is in the leading-edge only. This reduces tip cravats, enhancing safety.

DESIGNER’S NOTES
With the ECHO 2 we wanted to make something nice and light, that is easy to fold and carry. At the same time, it had to be user-friendly, not too fragile and have really usable performance.

The ECHO 2 is made entirely from high quality and industry proven Porcher cloth, mostly in 27g/m2 weight for both surfaces. On the leading edge there is sturdy 38g/m2 cloth in the center where it is needed for additional strength and to ensure longevity.

There are small rods in the leading edge, but none are very long, and there are no rods in the back of the sail so it’s easily foldable and can be packed small.

We opted for the same risers as are on the EPIC 2, because they are much easier to handle than Dyneema ‘rope’ style risers, and this wing is designed to be accessible to lower-airtime pilots. We also kept to sheathed lower lines for the same reason, especially for rocky or awkward launches. They are easier to see, so you can spot if they are caught around anything before you try to launch, and it means they can be color coded so you can easily tell the lines apart.

We worked a LOT on perfecting the launch, and from the feedback we’re getting we reckon we got it right. The light sail comes up like a dream and settles over your head till you decide to go. No holding back or over-flying, and no hurtling forwards at high speed in strong winds. It’s easy and relaxing, just the way we like it!

While safety is always a priority with a low-B wing, the ECHO 2 included, we also wanted the ECHO 2 to have really usable performance. It is a bit faster than the original, and we’ve used a similar B/C steering system to that on the BASE 2, on the EPIC 2 and ECHO 2. You can safely explore the whole bar travel, and learn to correct your direction with the rear risers. There won’t be a lot of pitch-correction to manage with the ECHO 2, and rear-riser steering is a good method to get used to if you’re a newer pilot moving up through the glider levels. If you’d rather not use it yet, that’s fine. The way it’s designed it does not clutter the risers, and can be ignored until you’re ready.

Long brake travel helps avoid an accidental stall or spin, and the brakes are beautifully precise and direct. The handling is BGD through and through – playful and fun and the colors have crept onto the undersurface too for even more pzazz. (And as the pilot you get to see them too, bonus!)

Hike & fly competitions
A high performance machine, perfect for complicated launches and landings. The wing stays solid and efficient, even in turbulent air. It is our P Series racing model par excellence.

Vol-biv
Go big distances with a paraglider that has evolved in terms of glide and thermal performance. The use of Nitinol allows a more compact and practical packing for those multi-day adventures.

Ultralight and high performance
Based on the design of the Peak 6, the third generation of the Klimber is higher performing and faster. A new distribution of the Nitinol reinforcements makes it more stable. It is the perfect tool for all pilots who want to push their limits. Its super light and compact characteristics remain the same, while its internal structure has evolved to improve its performance.

Greater brake travel range
The brake travel range has been increased by 25% compared to the previous version, increasing the passive safety of the glider. This makes the wing much easier to fly at low speeds and easier to launch and land in difficult conditions. Maximum control and efficiency in all phases of flight, especially take-off and landing.

More stable
The Klimber 3 P design improvements have considerably reduced the pitch and roll movement. Thanks to Niviuk technologies and a new airfoil, the Klimber 3 P is much more stable above the pilot and more efficient in flight.

Maximum efficiency
With a higher glide ratio and increased top speed, the Klimber 3 P is a perfectly efficient machine. Its high performance in thermals and glide is complemented by its exceptional maneuverability.

New cut and stitching
The application of mini-ribs on the trailing edge reduces drag and improves the aerodynamic shape of the wing. The DRS technology has been optimised: The mini ribs are integrated directly into the cut of the outer panels with the result that the outer seams disappear.
