GIN BOBCAT
Bobcat, the Speedflying wing.
The Bobcat is the speedflying wing designed to be launched on foot instead of skis.
The Bobcat opens new horizons and possibilities for careful, expert pilots with a lot of flying experience. The play of glide and speed against the relief opens new piloting potential, as yet unexplored using more traditional paragliders.
You will be able to fly down the mountain in wider aerological conditions with this simple and solid glider. You will have more fun with strong wind ground handling and soaring…
Speedflying, fields of use…
"Traditional" Speedflying - Unlike modern paragliders, the Bobcat will give you an adrenaline-powered ride down a mountain, following the slopes and ridges. This is due to a lower glide ratio and higher trim speed. You'll reach the bottom faster, but with a huge grin on your face.
Soaring in stronger winds - How many pilots confronted with "strong" winds of 30-45 km/h, have dreamt of the Bobcat? Here it is! On the sea coast, in the mountains, or on your favorite hill, when it is impossible to take out your paraglider from the bag, the Bobcat is ready to take over.
Ground training - How many paragliding schools have dreamt of the Bobcat? Here it is. To learn in safety on school slopes the basics of inflation and to become familiar with techniques for stronger winds, the Bobcat is a wonderful education tool.
Mountaineering - How many para-mountaineers faced with a dangerous descent from a summit, have dreamt of the Bobcat? Here it is! The Bobcat will allow you to take off and fly in a little stronger wind than would be possible with a paraglider. The Bobcat is compact, light and will easily fit in the bottom of a backpack. Its instantaneous inflation and its high stability in turbulence will allow you to experience mountains in a thrilling new way.
The Bobcat can be delivered wing only, but is usually delivered with a Bobcat harness with integrated back protection, GIN Automatic carabiners, Bobcat lightweight rucksack, Inner drawstring stuffsack with accessory carabiner
