BGD LYNX 2 EN-C: Lightweight Speed Meets Cross-Country Freedom
The BGD LYNX 2 EN-C is purpose-built for adventurous pilots who crave performance, agility, and minimal weight. Designed with hike-and-fly, vol-biv, and long-distance XC missions in mind, this glider merges precision engineering with the freedom of ultralight gear. Whether you’re climbing rugged peaks or gliding across open skies, the LYNX 2 EN-C is your go-to wing for fast-paced exploration.https://paraglidingexplorer.com/product/gin-gingo-airlite-4/
From the first inflation, you’ll notice the difference. The lightweight profile rises quickly and symmetrically—even in light or crosswind conditions. As a result, takeoffs become smoother and more predictable, which helps conserve energy and focus. Furthermore, the wing’s agile launch behavior allows you to fly confidently in tighter or more technical locations.https://www.instagram.com/paragliding_explorer_wing_shop?igsh=bGg2dWxqNzQ1bzF4&utm_source=qr
BGD LYNX 2 EN-C
Once airborne, the BGD LYNX 2 EN-C reveals its true nature. Designed to deliver high performance without compromising on feedback, this wing connects you to the air in a responsive yet forgiving way. Turns are crisp, brake pressure is balanced, and the wing bites into thermals efficiently. Therefore, you can climb with ease and maneuver confidently through complex airflows.
Moreover, the LYNX 2 excels in glide performance. Thanks to its advanced line configuration and aerodynamic profile, this wing cuts through the sky effortlessly. Transitioning between thermals or pushing on bar feels smooth, with stability you can trust. Consequently, whether you’re chasing personal bests or covering serious ground, this glider keeps you efficient and comfortable.
Durability hasn’t been sacrificed either. The wing uses high-quality, lightweight materials that are engineered for strength and longevity. Reinforced attachment points, smart rib spacing, and weight-saving design features make it ideal for demanding terrain and long-haul flights. Additionally, it packs down exceptionally small, making it perfect for pilots who prioritize mobility.
Safety remains a priority throughout the LYNX 2’s design. It provides excellent pitch stability, intuitive energy retention, and progressive collapse resistance. Because of this, pilots enjoy a reassuring level of passive safety in a wing designed for high performance.
In summary, the BGD LYNX 2 EN-C is more than just a glider—it’s a tool for freedom, endurance, and exploration. Whether you’re crossing mountains or continents, this wing gives you the precision, speed, and confidence to go further.

The LYNX 2 is our lightweight EN-C wing. It has excellent cross-country performance with a high comfort factor for its class. It is made to inspire confidence in even the strongest flying conditions, and to keep you safe while you find your wild side in the mountains.
We chose a 2.5-liner hybrid design for this wing for several reasons: a fully fledged two-liner would need more supporting rods in the sail, leading to a larger pack volume. We wanted the LYNX 2 to be easy to pack down super small for hiking and racing.
The Lynx 2 is also much easier to ‘mush’ in for a safe top-landing in a wild place, as the three-liner layout in the glider centre gives a large brake range and forgiving stall characteristics. It’s also amazingly easy to launch.

TARGET
The Lynx 2 is the perfect partner for cross-country pilots who travel light and free, and for those who move swiftly through their habitat, leaving no trace. It’s perfect for hike-and-fly races in mountain environments, where its efficiency and performance come with excellent safety and relaxed handling, and ideal for the new serial-class competitions. It’s competitive, and also accessible to pilots stepping up from B-class.
DESIGNER’S NOTES BGD LYNX 2
At 3.2kg to 4.3kg across five sizes, the LYNX 2 is among the lightest wings in its category, but that does not mean durability has been sacrificed. We used 32g/m2 cloth in strategic places to reinforce the leading edge where it most needs it. We have also sacrificed a few grams in the risers, choosing easy-handling Kevlar-reinforced 12mm webbing rather than shoelace-style Dyneema.
The LYNX 2 is more accessible and easier to fly than the CURE 2, with a slightly lower aspect ratio and cell count.
Light, reactive and precise handling and its feeling of performance gives it a two-liner feel and similar performance, but it has the safety, light rear-riser steering, and handling characteristics of a three-liner. Tyr flew a pre-production LYNX 2 in Costa Rica, and said it’s really relaxing in strong, turbulent conditions. “You can do almost the whole flight on the rear-risers!”.
An impressive brake range and good slow-speed behaviour mean the LYNX 2 is easy to top-land or sneak into small spaces. It’s one of the reasons we went for a 2.5-line hybrid design rather than a two-liner.
The new-design risers have an updated speed system action and a light and effective rear-riser steering system. The LYNX 2 is impressively efficient on bar!
The LYNX 2 uses our innovative Spiral Safety System. A rib without cross port vents just inboard from the stabi means that the tip cells lose pressure when the glider is in a deep spiral dive. This helps the glider exit automatically from the deepest spirals on its own without any pilot input.
