Gin Yeti 6 – Paragliding

Compact in the air...

Thanks to its new planform and arc, the wing is agile in turns while remaining very stable in roll. It is compact and well-balanced in the air under all conditions. The line set is a carefully chosen mix of sheathed lower and intermediate lines and unsheathed upper lines.

...And on the ground

We spared no detail in reducing weight and pack volume. Titanium (Nitinol) rods are used instead of plastic ones, and the trailing and leading-edge reinforcements have been removed or replaced with lightweight 5mm hemmed Mylar tapes wherever possible. The internal structure has been optimized to reduce weight by precisely selecting the number of line attachment points. The result? A smaller, more compact, and lighter bag so you can travel without constraints.

First-class thermalling

Some mountain wings leave something to be desired when it comes to thermal performance. Not so with the Yeti 6. The planform, airfoil, arc, canopy tension, and swept-back wingtips work together to promote flat and efficient turning behavior. The Yeti 6 can be used for much more than just coming down the mountain!

Beginners are welcome

The handling of the Yeti 6 has been tuned and refined to suit everyone, including newcomers to the world of free flight. The goal was to achieve a more damped character than its predecessor, while remaining playful enough for more experienced mountain flight pilots. The brake travel is long and progressive, yet the feedback is direct, with no tendency to enter a parachutal stall or spin if the pilot inadvertently pulls too much brake. Flying the Yeti 6 is a pure pleasure, and pilots turning to hike & fly need look no further for their post-school wing.

High wing loading, no problem

The unique feature of the Yeti 6 is not only its ability to offer an incredibly wide range of flyable wing loadings, but above all its ability to maintain unrivalled stability across that entire range. EN A certification was achieved even at high wing loadings thanks to the wing's inherent stability across all axes.

Forgiving launch behavior

Thanks to its profile, the Yeti 6 quickly stabilizes overhead, settles into the harness, and even provides a gentle forward surge during light-wind launches. In stronger winds, the wing behaves equally well, without shooting or hanging back. Whatever your skill level and terrain, the Yeti 6 ensures a successful launch.
