LittleCloud's Gracchio Mk2 is a multi-purpose wing for pilots who like to do everything from cross-country flying to Hike & Fly and soaring. The wing incorporates LittleCloud's signature concepts: low aspect ratio, ultra-damped pitch behavior, but above all, a wing that's great fun to fly.

The aim when designing the Gracchio Mk2 was to increase the user range of the original Gracchio. To achieve this, the impression of power was greatly reduced, which could be unsettling for some pilots.
The wing inherits the profile of the Urubu, an incredible profile not only for its performance capabilities, but also for its aerodynamic behavior. It offers cushioning even in extreme pitches and big collapses. What's more, it boasts enormous control travel. The Gracchio Mk2 offers a really high level of safety! Because its performance is so good, it was possible to use sheathed lines from top to bottom.
The wing's shape is completely new, with 49 cells and 5.3 aspect ratio. This blend offers equivalent or even superior performance in accelerated upwind phases to the previous Gracchio. The wing's communication is much smoother, but still informative, allowing the pilot to understand the air mass without being impressed. The wing is still built in semi-light, durable materials, but remains in very light weight ranges. Of course, this is still a very playful, extremely versatile LittleCloud paraglider.
The Gracchio Mk2 is a wing you feel at home with right away! It responds to your fingertips. Its accessibility is superior to that of its predecessor. With or without wind, its inflation is impeccable, and it doesn't rip at all! Its handling is extremely intuitive, direct and as fun as ever on the roll. Its turns are frighteningly precise. Flat or on edge, it can drown out the slightest bubble and make the inside of the other wings around it. Its glide in general, but especially upwind, is exceptional for such a low aspect ratio.
LittleCloud has attached great importance to passive safety. This means that performance is never at the expense of out-of-flight behaviour. Its extremely long control travel acts as a deterrent before stalling, limiting the risk of over-piloting. On all sizes it exceeds 65 cm (from 65 cm on the 21 to 80 cm on the 27). These parameters, combined with extreme pitch damping, make the Gracchio Mk2 one of the safest intermediate wings on the market.
The Gracchio Mk2 is not flight-approved to EN 926-2 for all sizes. However, they have passed the EN 926-1 test to verify their structural strength. LittleCloud's decision not to certify for flight is deliberate. In their view, this standard is no longer a guarantee of safety for the pilot. Paraglider certification does not protect pilots in the event of a flying incident. In fact, tests in calm air, with induced maneuvers, do not necessarily reveal behavior in real conditions of use. Modern parag liders are highly resistant to collapses, and their return to flight in collapsible air can be very different from what can be appreciated in EN tests.
