Paraglider comparison: finding the best equipment

PARAGLIDER COMPARISON : FINDING THE BEST EQUIPMENT

Many factors are to be taken into account when seeking to know which is the best paragliding and free-flight wing The choice can be made in relation to: the surface of the wing, the PTV, whether the wing is light or not, the aspect ratio, the category of flight: cross, two-seater, or its weight. This question is highly subjective and depends on the type of paragliding and the pilot's skill level.

Below you'll find a guide to the best paraglider brands, selected especially for you by our team of Air et Aventure specialists.

WHAT'S THE BEST BRAND FOR PARAGLIDERS ?

As with cars, there are certain benchmark brands for paragliders :

For quality and performance, you can go for wings from Gin, Skywalk, Niviuk or Supair.

For recreational wings with a strong identity, you have Little Cloud, for example, a leading brand in slope flying. Tom Bourdeau, the brand's creator, has succeeded in imposing his style over the years.

For paramotor wings, there's no doubt that the ITV and Dudek brands are probably the best on the market. From beginner to performance wings, these two brands have succeeded in establishing themselves as market leaders. A special mention goes to ITV, which offers mixed paraglider and paramotor wings, much appreciated by paramotorists.

For speedriding wings, we recommend Swing and Neo. Represented by Valentin Delluc, the Swing paraglider brand has been making a name for itself for years, with the Spitfire and Mirage, whose reputations are well established!

Finally, for fans of Made In France, the Nervure brand will be there to satisfy you! The only small-scale manufacturer to make its sails in France!

COMPARISON OF PARAGLIDER MODELS

Our best mountain wing models :

Here you'll find a whole range of mountain wings that are truly fun to fly. Despite their small size, you'll have the comfort and safety of an EN A, but a much more playful and pleasant flying sensation. A real little bicycle when inflated, these wings are perfect for walking and flying, also known as "Hike & Fly".

Our best beginner wings :

EN A paragliders are specially designed for paragliding beginners. They represent the perfect compromise between comfort and safety for a safe start to paragliding. They accompany you from take-off to landing, helping you to take off with confidence. You'll also find a selection of paragliders at reduced prices thanks to our special offers !

The Bolero strikes the right balance between performance and stability. The Gin brand has succeeded in improving its wing with an efficient climb on the first steps during take-off, making it quicker and more comfortable to get into the air.

Skywalk's Mescal 6 is interesting for its versatility. Thanks to its Agility System, you can disengage the brakes on the wing's trailing edge to switch from comfort to sport mode.

If you're looking for comfort and a smooth ride, the Eona 3 is for you. Supair's experience has enabled us to provide balance and comfort for the pilot, without compromising feel at the controls. This allows pilots to understand the air mass and learn to fly efficiently.

Our best 2-line C performance wings :

A veritable revolution over the past 2 years, the EN C 2 lines offer access to a level of 2-line performance that was previously reserved for seasoned pilots! Here you'll find the latest generation of 2-line EN Cs we offer !

The Skywalk Mint is more closely modelled on the artik R. With the level of quality we've come to expect from Skywalk, the Mint is still very affordable for a 2-line C.

The Niviuk Artik R brings you performance and speed. With its taut profile, the Artik R easily penetrates the air mass, especially in windy conditions, enabling it to maintain good speed at all times.

The Bonanza, more oriented towards the pleasure of flight, is equally suited to pilots seeking performance, pleasure and safety. Of all the EN Cs we've tested, this is undoubtedly the one that offers the most comfort and flying pleasure.

Our best speed riding and speed flying wings :

These paragliders are designed for experienced, thrill-seeking pilots, and are among the best speed wings on the market !

Swing's Mirage is a model that needs no introduction. A fixture on the speed-flying scene for years, the Mirage boasts amazing glide performance despite its size.

For more committed speed-riding, aimed at more experienced riders, you'd be better off with the Spitfire, which has a more natural tendency to dive and stick to the terrain. These characteristics can also be found on Neo's X-Ride and S-Ride ranges.

Experienced riders will prefer the X-Ride range, while beginners or riders preferring softer reactions will prefer the S-Ride range with its larger sizes.
