Gin Explorer 2

A Touch of magic

• The ingredients are classically simple, even unremarkable: 59 cells, A.R. 6, 3 main lines, well-proven profile. Yet the finished dish is unexpectedly exquisite.

To the top!

• Perhaps the most notable characteristic of the Explorer 2 is the way the refined yet compact handling translates into a superior climbing experience. The wing bites enthusiastically into thermals, yet settles quickly overhead. Brake pressures are light yet progressive, giving you just enough information to effortlessly maximise your climb.

Simplicity

• improved climbing ability in all conditions
• improved glide performance
• exemplary pitch stability for even better take-off characteristics and collapse resistance
• smart riser for improved C riser control
• increased maximum speed (2cm longer travel)
• greater compressibility thanks to nitinol reinforcements

(Still) in a class of its own

• Thanks to the slight increase in surface area and other gains in aerodynamic efficiency, the Explorer 2’s glide performance surpasses that of its predecessor.

Improved speed system

• The Explorer 2 features a new smart riser with a control toggle and a Harken pulley for extra smooth operation. Push half bar, take the riser and enjoy the view! The Explorer 2 also has an extra 2cm of speed bar travel for increased max speed.

An Unflappable character

• The Explorer 2 has innate pitch stability. Even on windier take-offs, the wing comes up progressively and waits obediently above your head. When conditions get rowdy, it’s more well behaved than ever.

Details

• Strategic mix of new formula plastic rods and Nitinol (Nickel titanium) wire for dimensional stability, performance and more compact packing
• 3 risers / 3 lines spanwise
• Unsheathed aramid lines with optimized diameters
• Speed system with C riser steering
• Gathering (reefing) system and mini ribs on the trailing edge
