New DHV1 Beginner/ Intermediate Paraglider 
New pilots and leisure pilots, just like top professionals, need the best equipment. How fast and how quickly you progress in paragliding will depend, in part, on how safe and true your glider is. The Bright III is designed to give you many hours and kilometres of enjoyable flying while maintaining the high safety standards of the DHV 1 class throughout the whole speed range and even when fully accelerated! Advanced features of Gradient's top models Avax, Aspen and Golden are to be found in the Bright III too! Closed cells at the tips, meshed parallel ports and zigzag main entry ports combine to give a glider that "reads the air truthfully", has super handling and delivers better performance than some DHV 1-2 paragliders!
The Bright III is the third generation of Gradient's basic intermediate glider. The new shape of the cell openings allows excellent inflation over a wide range of attack angle, so that launching and recovery is easy and efficient. It has a wide and useful speed range for a glider in the DHV 1 class. Gradient has focused primarily on safety in the development and important improvements in recovery behaviour have been achieved. Spiral recovery characteristics are a challenging feature of lower aspect ratio designs but the advanced testing and research at Gradient has resulted in a glider with an even greater degree of passive safety, while maintaining good handling and performance, for a paraglider in the DHV1 class.
  
Gradient Bright III Main Features:
• Advanced design with partial V-rib technology • Porcher Marine Skytex Cloth • New cell opening design • Very clear layout • Very easy and progressive inflation • Excellent take-off characteristics • Very good handling • Split A-risers for big-ears • Extremely good passive safety • Very simple to land • Upper sail made with water-repellent fabric • DHV 1 certification in all sizes

DHV2 High Performance Glider 
Gradient had a hard act to follow in the original Aspen; it must have been a difficult task to improve on a design that has been a world leader in the DHV2 class, but Gradient claim significant improvement in several parameters.
The development has resulted in an improved sink rate and glide angle at normal speeds, while retaining the agility and high top speed of the original. Feedback from the test team says the new Aspen 2 proves even easier to pilot, with a slightly more "direct" feel to the brakes and more resistant to turbulence. The market point is the same... recommended to all competent pilots who want a high performance glider on which to really enjoy their flying; whatever their style.
The Aspen II is the next generation in the DHV 2 category. It has a new airfoil section, and special focus has been given to the position, area and shaping of the air entry ports to ensure high stability over a very wide speed range (angle of attack). The forces in the wing are carefully calculated and balanced to give a flawless sail presentation and an intuitive feel to the flying. Gradient has paid special attention to details too, with new low drag micro attachment points on the wing tips and a new rucksack, inner bag and riser bag etc.
Several new materials are used in the construction of the Aspen II, the suspension system is constructed of a new generation of Edelrid line, the 7443 series; and a new narrower webbing has been selected for the riser system.
 
 
Five standard sizes are available, that together span a weight range of 65-130kg total weight, each size certified DHV2.

DHV1 Beginner/Intermediate Paraglider
The Mojo2 is the ideal canopy for pilots who want stress free flying. With its easy inflation and accessibility, it is very forgiving to fly and has the easy characteristics typical of a DHV 1 glider.
During its three-year career, the Mojo set an astonishingly high standard for DHV 1 wings. The Mojo was well rounded enough to be safe enough for a student’s first days on the hill with enough handling and performance for 100km XC flights. The Mojo 2 fits into the same category and has similar characteristics to the first Mojo, but with a few important differences. The primary improvement is the increased progressiveness of the brake travel and the roll reduction. These two factors have increased the precision of the handling and the comfort in flight, which are highly important factors for overall glider performance. The glide and speed has been improved through more advanced profiling, although the overall passive safety remains uncompromised and solid enough for any new pilot or for pilots for whom passive safety is paramount.
Ozone Mojo Main Features:
• Ideal for new pilots and anyone seeking DHV 1 / EN A safety • New design for 2007 • Refined handling and a more efficient profile • Enough handling and performance for XC flights and thermaling • Total passive safety • Porcher Sport Skytex cloth •

DHV 1 Beginner/Intermediate Paraglider
The Mescal 2 is an ideal wing for new pilots and leisure pilots. It combines safety and performance at the highest level and guarantees long and relaxing flights. What really sets the MESCAL 2 apart, though, is its extremely high fun factor!
Thanks to new developments in profile the wing remains stable and steerable, weak thermals can be transformed into height effectively because of the wings excellent low speed attributes. Practically only every second cell is suspended, it reduces drag and improves performance at the same time. Every cell contains diagonal and compression bands for an optimum load distribution. An intricate distribution of tension inside and along the canopy increases the stability and eliminates unwanted deformations. The outside of the wing is designed to carry less load in order to achieve an even and predictable feel in turns. Large cross-ports in the ribs create an effective inflation of all cells without reducing the profiles shape. Velcro bands are attached to the outer wings to make it easier to empty the sand from the glider.
Skywalk Mescal 2 Main Features:
• Trend setting 2nd generation JET FLAP technology: optimized thermalling properties, reassuring extreme flight behaviour • HIGH-STABILITY CONCEPT:
Turbulence-absorbing profile with adapted cloth tensions extremely high stability against collapses • 5 POINT START CHECK: Integrated in the riser, a constant reminder to the essential pre flight checks • CROSSLINE:
An additional folding line, optimizes the size of the big ears and makes it easier to pull them, as well as making descent more reliable because of significant sink • QUATTRO MATERIAL MIX:
For an optimal canopy. On tactically chosen spots very light cloth is used, which directly improves starting behaviour, whereas at highly stressed areas, such as the top of the leading edge for example, material with extreme longevity, Porcher 9092E85A, is used •
