DescriptionThe BGD Base 2 Light: Limitless hike and fly adventures!
The Base 2 Lite offers the same performance, the same fun factor, and even livelier handling than its sibling, the Base 2, as it is 1.1 kg lighter in size M.
The slim, uncoated lines are not only lighter, but also significantly reduce air resistance. This is particularly noticeable during accelerated flight phases: the BASE 2 light glides effortlessly through the air with a minimal sink rate.
Thanks to its lightweight construction, the BASE 2 light is easy to launch and requires only a little momentum for the inflation process.
While flying, you can feel the moving air at the wing tips, giving you clear and precise feedback from the wing.
In addition, the BASE 2 light can be packed very small and compact. Thanks to its consistent lightweight design and carefully selected materials, it weighs 1.1 kg less than its counterpart, the BASE 2.
When the foot accelerator is activated, it can be precisely controlled via the risers.
Pilots say they immediately feel at home. It speaks your language with clear feedback and sensitive ears that tell you everything you need to know about the air around you. It is relaxed to fly and leaves you with enough peace of mind to think about where the next thermal will be or whether the beautiful alpine pasture next to you would be a suitable camping spot.
