A safe, fun and accessible wing for flying all ways.
If the EPIC 2 is for living the good life, the EPIC 2 MOTOR is for the crazy life, la vida loca. It’s fun on steroids! It’s a Hybrid wing, which means you can fly it with a motor or without. The only difference is the riser set.

EPIC 2 MOTOR: La Vida Loca
The MOTOR version is delivered with our paramotor risers which have an efficient trimmer system with a wide speed range for cruising comfortably under power. Close the trimmers and it’s EN B certified and can be taken free-flying. The EPIC 2 MOTOR is ready for all kinds of flying fun, whatever floats your boat and makes you shout, “EPIIIIIC!
Target
The EPIC 2 MOTOR is for flight addicts who like to mix things up, and play in the air all ways. Fire up the motor at sunrise for an early morning spin, then go thermalling when the day gets going. Its easy and safe, suitable for intermediate pilots, but the agile handling adds a big fun factor. The feel is all BGD, and it’s even up for waggas and freestyle if you are. Motor-heads, thermal-seekers and freestylers … this is for you!
Bruce’s notes
With its modest aspect ratio of 5, the EPIC 2 MOTOR strikes the perfect balance between safety and performance. It is made from high quality 38g/m2 and 40g/m2 Porcher cloths, and has easy-handling webbing risers and smooth-running trimmers. It all makes for a robust and easy-to-manage package. Stress-free, the way we like it!
We worked hard to get the launch characteristics of the EPIC 2 MOTOR just right, because no-one likes to struggle in a field with a motor on their back. We think you’ll find the EPIC 2 MOTOR reassuringly easy to launch.
In the air the brake controls are nice and direct, and good feedback encourages active flying so you’ll get the most out of your wing. Like all our wings, it has Progressive Stability: we’ve designed it so that the central section is very resistant to collapses, and it gets progressively less so towards the tips. If you’re surprised by turbulence, a harmless tip-tuck will alert you to conditions and you can react appropriately.
Features
ALULA Simulation Software
The future of glider design depends largely on simulations. Instead of designing and producing prototypes one by one, BGD unique in-house structural / aero simulation program, ALULA, enables BGD to accurately simulate hundreds of virtual prototypes. They test over 200 virtual prototypes for each paraglider, using 50 million iterations of the structural / aero calculations.
Progressive stability
Using ALULA, BGD gliders are designed to have a stable and solid center with progressively softer tips. This teaches pilots to predict and avoid deflations and stay aware of the air.
Chord cut billow (CCB)
Chord Cut Billow technology has been developed to improve the form friction, glider stability and overall performance of BGD paragliders. Two seams run chord-wise across the top panels of the leading edge. They accommodate the panel ballooning that happens when the wing is inflated. Without CCB, up to five centimeters of excess material is created on the sides of an inflated flat panel when it bends over a wing profile. This results in wrinkles. Chord Cut Billow technology removes this excess material and the 3D panel has fewer ripples and improved rib profile shape and stability.
Snap Locks
Snap Locks are lightweight, compact attachments that connect the brakes to the risers. A small focused magnet inside the catch and an internal locking system hold the handle in place, releasing only if the handles are pulled down towards the pilot. This unique design feature means the handles don’t fall off while kiting, packing, or performing manoeuvres. The Snap Lock system solves many of the problems associated with press studs and magnets
