How much does a paraglider cost ? Criteria influencing price

HOW MUCH DOES A PARAGLIDER COST ? CRITERIA INFLUENCING PRICE

A paraglider is a highly technical piece of equipment. There are numerous models to suit all types of flying and paragliding. In addition to the price of materials, several other factors can influence the price of paragliders :

Design: This is the starting point for every paraglider. The manufacturer determines the glider's target audience and expected objectives. Next comes computer design, followed by prototypes and initial testing. Finally, a phase of fine-tuning... As you can see, it's a very long and meticulous process, leading to a finished paraglider that can be flown in complete safety.
.
The volume of material used: As with any material, the more material the higher the cost.
Certification: Please note that not all wings are certified, but for those that are, the cost is not insignificant. In fact, to be homologated, they must be tested in all their size variations.
Product technicality:An EN A wing will be less technical from a design and manufacturing point of view than an EN C, D or CCC wing. In fact, the higher the performance of a wing, the more work it will require, especially sewing. It therefore requires more manufacturing time, and consequently the wing's starting price.
The sales volume of the wing (often associated with the category): Most paraglider pilots stick to EN A or EN B rated wings. As a result, these are the categories of wing that are produced the most. Inevitably, their price is lower, as cost amortization is spread over larger volumes.

PRICE OF A PARAGLIDER BY BRAND

Most brands offer a wide range of paragliders, from EN A to CCC models, as well as special wings for speed riding or acrobatics. This wide range of products means that every pilot can choose the equipment that best suits his or her needs. As we saw earlier, it's important to bear in mind that "wide range of types" also means "wide range of prices".

In addition to the criteria mentioned in the introduction to this article, you should also consider the brand's market positioning. Is it a high-end brand, or is it more playful and affordable ?

To sum up, it's difficult to give a sailing price according to brand or category. To get a fairly broad scope of prices, we invite you to browse through the different categories of wings in our online store. This will help you find an average price according to your search criteria.

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN QUALITY AND PRICE ?

When buying a paraglider, it's important not to base your decision on price alone, as this is not necessarily the best choice. In fact, a low price does not mean that the wing is any less qualitative than another at a higher price.

So how do you go about it?

When it comes to choosing a brand, we recommend you base your choice on our Air et Aventure selection. These include brands such as Supair, Gin, Neo, Skywalk, Niviuk, Little Cloud and Sky Paragliders, all of which are heavyweights on the market with a wealth of experience. The quality of these brands is excellent, and the wings are generally easy to sell.

There are also other very good brands. Don't hesitate to do your research to find the wing that suits you best!

In conclusion, paraglider prices vary according to brand, technology, size and product range. The choice is not an easy one to make, so don't hesitate to contact us so that we can guide you in your search. In the last part of this article, you'll also find some examples of prices according to important criteria.
