BGD - Epic Freestyle 2

The perfect tool for your first steps into acro or SIV.

Capable of all the accessible acro tricks and connections, it reliably delivers fun with maximum safety.

Description

Master your stalls, spins, SATs and Heli then move onto the connections, like Heli to SAT, Misty to Heli and Mactwist to Heli.

The EPIC FS 2 can perform all the basic manoeuvres and the hardest connections including Joker and reverse manoeuvres. Its real beauty, and the reason instructors love it so much, is that it is forgiving. It won’t shoot too far if you get inputs or timing wrong, so you can learn new tricks and expand your limits with maximum safety.

We recommend you always fly within the weight range. For the fastest progression, fly in the low to middle part of the weight range to learn the manoeuvres, then fly more loaded as you progress.

Public

The original EPIC FREESTYLE has been a revolution in acro paragliding. It has helped open the door to freestyle and acro for pilots of all ages, from fearless teenagers to adventurous 70-year-olds. It quickly became known as the go-to wing for learning acro, earning the trust of pilots everywhere and becoming the top choice for schools teaching the sport.

Now comes the next chapter: EPIC FS 2.

Everything pilots loved about the original is still here. The proven profile and technical design remain unchanged, preserving the playful handling, confidence-inspiring behaviour and progression-friendly character that made the Epic Freestyle a legend.

And when you’re not throwing tricks? The EPIC FS 2 is just as happy carving coastal ridges, climbing thermals or heading off on an XC adventure. Whether you want to learn your first SAT, perfect your heli, or simply enjoy a great day of flying, this is a wing that’s ready for it all.

Notes du concepteur

The Epic FS2 is a safe and easy wing, with the 5.0 aspect ratio a sweet spot of safety and performance.

Our goal was to ensure pilots enjoy the same great experience, while feeling even more comfortable and connected to the world of acro paragliding.

It has brand new risers, which are neoprene-covered for protection. This reduces the chances of getting stuck or feeling discomfort during manoeuvres. The speed system is routed on the inside of the A-risers, keeping the speed-system lines out of the way for twisted manoeuvres.

The Epic FS 2 is delivered with BGD’s new acro handles. They have a slim design, offering good grip for control and comfort. Neoprene-covered T-bars are positioned at a slight angle for the most natural hand position.

The BGD Acro handles are tethered to the risers with an elastic bungee, so if you choose to remove the brake legs to fly with free brakes, you can release the handles without losing them. If you prefer to fly with brake legs you can remove the tether if you wish.

Standard brake handles can be fitted in place of the BGD Acro handles. Brake legs must be used with standard handles as they are not compatible with tethers.
