BASE 2 LITE

From the first inflation, you’ll notice the effortless launch behavior. Because of its lightweight design, the BASE 2 LITE rises smoothly—even in low wind—and settles overhead with minimal input. Additionally, the reduced weight enhances climb efficiency, making thermalling more effective and enjoyable. As a result, pilots experience smoother ascents and quicker transitions.https://paraglidingexplorer.com/product/contour-harness-2/

Moreover, handling is where this glider truly shines. Thanks to BGD’s signature CCB (Cord Cut Billow) and Progressive Stability technologies, the BASE 2 LITE combines precision with forgiveness. Therefore, you can carve through thermals with confidence while still enjoying a forgiving reaction during turbulent conditions.

Transitioning into speed, this glider keeps its composure at full bar. It offers excellent pitch stability, so you maintain glide performance even in active air. Because of this, you’ll feel more confident pushing through transitions and making longer XC flights with less fatigue.

Additionally, its ultra-light materials don’t compromise durability. Reinforced leading edges, carefully selected fabrics, and optimized line configurations create a glider that’s both strong and travel-friendly. On top of that, the compact pack volume makes it perfect for hike-and-fly missions, bivy adventures, or any situation where weight matters.

BASE 2 LITE Paraglider excels

Furthermore, the BASE 2 LITE Paraglider excels in feedback. It communicates clearly, allowing you to make quick decisions in real-time. That connection between pilot and wing creates an intuitive flying experience—where you feel in control, yet free to explore your full potential.

In summary, the BASE 2 LITE Paraglider offers the perfect balance between agility, safety, and lightweight performance. Whether you’re chasing thermals, hopping ridges, or embarking on multi-day adventures, this wing empowers you to fly farther and higher with less effort. Choose the BASE 2 LITE and elevate your cross-country journey with a glider that’s as driven as you are.

TARGET

A lightweight sports-class EN-B, the Base 2 Lite is the perfect match for cross-country pilots who enjoy the hike to launch, for vol-bivouac adventurers looking for high-end safety, or anyone who wants a fun, performant lightweight wing. Pilots stepping up from low-B category will not find it too taxing to fly, yet its performance will impress XC distance seekers.

DESIGNER’S NOTES

The Base 2 Lite keeps all of the design features that make the Base 2 such a great wing. It has the new arc design, double leading edge, and the fine-tuned sail and line tension that make it so well balanced in the air. But we have optimised weight wherever we can without compromising functionality. It has been a labour of love!

It is made from Porcher Skytex 27 with 32 on the upper leading edge for durability, and unsheathed Edelrid lines throughout, which brings benefits in terms of both weight and performance.

We created new lightweight hybrid risers. We chose narrow webbing for its handling, and mixed Dyneema and Kevlar to play to the strengths of each material. Dyneema is very light but it can stretch, so we used it for the C-risers and C-steering which don’t take heavy loads. For the load-bearing A and B risers we opted for Kevlar, which holds its shape well. Soft links have come of age now, and for the first time we have fitted them as standard on the Base 2 Lite. (Maillons can be ordered as an option for pilots who prefer them). They are light and user friendly, and the riser feels nice and cohesive without the metal link in the middle.

speed-riser

The speed-riser C-steering is similar to that on the Base 2, but the handles are slightly smaller and we’ve reducing the padding to save weight. Even the brake handles are optimised: they are still padded and comfortable but we’ve reduced the stiffening. We kept the snaplock keepers but did away with the brake swivels.

Designing the Base 2 Lite has been a lot of work and effort focussed on many small details, and we are very happy with the result. We hope pilots will love it as much as the BGD team do.
