Description
A King 2 rule them all…
The new King 2 is more than an update to an existing model – in fact, it has more in common with the Gambit than with the original King – but one thing remains constant; this is a top-performance paraglider with a very confidence-inspiring character, which will allow pilots with less than SkyGod status to excel in everything from ambitious XC flying to national-level competitions. It is very easy to fly, and surprisingly easy to fly well.
The King 2 is a no-nonsense EN D glider for ambitious XC pilots with a fetish for sexy, beautiful paraglider design. It sports the highest performance of any serial production 3-liner ever made while retaining the docile, forgiving character of its predecessor. This makes it the perfect wing for any pilot looking to get the edge over their contemporaries, sacrificing neither personal safety nor airborne comfort in the bargain. As such it could be seen as the ideal stepping stone towards the CCC class, but this isn’t really its greatest strength; we predict that a majority of King 2 pilots will not want to increase their workload in the air by moving to more demanding glider classes once they have seen just how well this baby goes.
