A racing beast, thoroughbred, made to impress, the Diva 2 is a high-performance two-line for competition and cross-country.
However, we have been working on the development of the Diva 2 for several years. It is the result of the "BGD Performance Quest" project, which required countless digital simulations and the relentless exploration of new ideas by our young R&D team.
You could say the computers smoked!
Although this project and the quest for performance is never-ending, we are confident that the Diva 2 is ready to take on its competitors, and set a new standard in its category.
We have worked very hard to maximise the performance of the smaller sizes of the Diva 2. Through dedicated load testing and months of fine-tuning and calibration with our R&D team and over the course of numerous competitions, we have ensured that our test pilot Tyr Goldsmith, who weighs just 60kg, can fly a very competitive wing, reducing the differences between light and heavy pilots.
The Diva 2 features responsive and quick handling, high top speed, excellent glide and sink rate and exceptional stability throughout its speed range.
At the helm, the pressure at the rear is very light, a testament to its great stability. This is also what gives it its unique character. After a few hours, we know that you will not go back. We have achieved this result by maximizing the “reflex” side of the wing. You can be confident to fly accelerated in all situations.
Although the Diva 2 remains a relatively easy wing to fly, it is intended for experienced pilots who have the technical piloting skills suited to a fast, very high-performance wing.
AUDIENCE
Two lines of pure performance, the Diva 2 is a safe EN-D with the soul of a winner. Designed for competition pilots and long-distance hunters, it is fast and stable. Its glide is exceptional.
DESIGNER'S NOTES
The Diva 2 likes to stand out in a crowd, so it comes in bright, bold colors and a striking silhouette with a high arch and short taper. A shorter taper not only reduces drag, it also gives the pilot a feeling of closeness and connection to the wing.
With 20 cm of throttle travel, it is fast and racy. This incredible speed range has been made possible by unprecedented pitch stability resulting from our shorter cone and reflex wing.
You can count on the Diva 2 to remain calm in all situations. Its behavior when exiting the flight envelope is exemplary. After an asymmetrical collapse, even accelerated, it only turns moderately. Stalls are easily controlled and cravats extremely rare. We have tried the 360s a lot and the Diva 2 always exited without pilot intervention, even on the most committed spirals.
