BGD Dual 2 tandem paraglider - effortless start, harmonious flying experience

Perfect for relaxed tandem flights with maximum comfort

The BGD Dual 2 revolutionises your tandem flights with its exceptionally easy start behaviour and relaxed flight characteristics. You benefit from a completely new design that combines years of development work and innovative technologies.

Your advantages at a glance

  • Effortless starting in just two steps: The unique, plastic-reinforced SharkNose technology gives you a perfect wing set-up at take-off. You only need to cover a minimal distance, which significantly increases safety for your passenger.
  • Harmonious flight feeling for pilot and passenger: you experience balanced, relaxed flight behaviour with low, even brake pressure. The direct handling and excellent thermal characteristics make every flight a pleasure.

Innovative technology for professional demands

Robust materials for durability: you get a wing made from hard-wearing Porcher Skytex fabric with extra strong Kevlar lines. The construction is specially designed for commercial use and frequent use.

Practical ease of maintenance: The heavily used trimmers are replaceable - replacement trimmers are already included in the scope of delivery. This minimises downtime and maintenance costs.

Reliable safety features: The new locking system for large ears offers you additional safety. The sturdy and effective large ears can be easily locked in place.

With effortless launching and a smooth, relaxed feel, the DUAL 2 performs in harmony with pilot and passenger

  • Three sizes 38m², 40m² and 42m²
  • Effortless Two-Step Launch
  • Essential big ears blocker
  • Replaceable trimmers
  • Smooth relaxed feel

The DUAL 2 is an entirely new design. It took us years of development and many prototypes to perfect, but we believe it is a significant leap forward from the original Dual, which itself was a benchmark EN-B tandem. It’s a pleasure to launch and to fly, with light, intuitive BGD handling and an outstanding sink rate, making it a 'top of the stack' performer. Big ears are effective and easy to use, and we’ve added a new big-ears locking system.

We know commercial pilots need tandems that last well so we’ve made the DUAL 2 robust and strong, with durable cloth throughout and all-sheathed Kevlar lines. The trimmers have easy-grab plastic balls and easy to replace webbing.

We recommend the 38m² - medium size to pilots who weigh less than 75kg, naked.

Target

Remember that feeling, the first time your feet leave the ground and you are soaring, feet in the clouds, viewing the world from a different perspective? If you could bottle that feeling and share it around … that’s what the DUAL 2 is for – sharing the joy of flight!

A clean take-off is absolutely critical to a safe and successful tandem flight. The DUAL 2 takes the load quickly and the short run required is a huge step forward for passenger safety. We’ve made the Dual 2 in three sizes: the 42m², 40m² and the 38m² covering all-up weights 100-220kg.

Designer's notes

With this project I wanted to make a tandem that is ridiculously easy to launch as not all passengers are willing runners, but I didn’t want to sacrifice that light and sensitive handling that was so highly praised in the original DUAL. To achieve this we designed a whole new single plastic shark nose just for this wing. In the air the handling is a delight and thermalling is outstanding. The whole team are very happy with the outcome. It’s a pleasure to fly, and a dream to launch: two steps and away!
