GIN BANDIT 2: A CLASS OF ITS OWN
The Bandit 2 truly defines its own category. Gentle and reassuring enough to build confidence for those stepping into thermals and cross-country flying, yet responsive and dynamic in a way seasoned pilots will instantly appreciate.
It strikes a rare balance — combining stability, thermal sensitivity, and precise brake control — to create a genuine all-rounder. The Bandit 2 evolves with you, adapting seamlessly to your progression, flying style, and ambitions. Always ready to launch — anywhere, anytime.
READY TO LAUNCH, EVERYWHERE, EVERY TIME
With its lightweight construction and refined internal design, the Bandit 2 inflates and lifts like a dedicated mountain wing. The canopy rises smoothly and progressively, even in light or no wind, requiring only minimal pilot input.
Its pitch stability and natural tendency to seek out lifting air generate early lift and compact, controlled inflation in all conditions — from alpine hike & fly launches to everyday cross-country take-offs.
LIGHT AND COMPACT
From the very first sketch, the Bandit 2 was designed as an ultralight wing. Every detail — from its internal structure to the line layout and cell construction — has been meticulously optimised to achieve the lowest possible weight without sacrificing performance, handling, or durability.
This meticulous design philosophy results in a wing that feels refined, smooth, and perfectly balanced in flight. Its lightweight structure enhances pitch and roll damping, delivering coherent, intuitive feedback across all flying conditions.
Thanks to Nitinol rods in the leading edge, the Bandit 2 also packs down exceptionally small while maintaining a clean, crisp upper surface — making it the ideal companion for both hike & fly missions and cross-country adventures.
REDEFINED RISERS
Simplicity, by design. Every element of the Bandit 2 risers has been distilled to its purest form. The result is a lighter, cleaner, and more intuitive setup — delivering a direct, user-friendly experience both on the ground and in the air.
