Supair WILD 2 paraglider review
- by Carlo Borsattino
We’ve been flying the Supair Wild 2 over several test flights in a mix of conditions—from strong thermals to light soaring days—putting it through its paces to see how it compares to the best 2-liner EN-C wings currently available. Here’s our take on Supair’s latest XC weapon.
First Impressions
The Wild 2 doesn’t scream for attention. There’s no flashy marketing gimmick here—just a refined, well-thought-out wing that feels purpose-built for performance flying. When we unpacked it, we noticed the solid yet lightweight construction straight away. Supair have struck a good balance here: it’s not ultra-light, but certainly light enough for hike-and-fly, vol-biv, or general XC use without worry.
The new risers are a welcome upgrade—much simpler and easier to handle than the fiddly setup on the original Wild. Clean, functional, no fuss.
On the Ground
The Wild 2 inflates smoothly and consistently in both light and stronger winds. It has a reassuring, predictable behaviour on launch—easy to manage even when conditions get a bit snappy. For a 2-liner, it’s remarkably tame on the ground. The wing comes up progressively, without aggressive overshooting, which gives confidence for takeoff on tricky launches or alpine starts.
In the Air
Once airborne, the Wild 2 settles into a clean, solid glide. It gives that efficient, high-end 2-liner feeling—cutting through the air with minimal resistance. Pitch and roll are nicely damped, giving it a stable, calm character in active air. That said, it still feels alive and communicative—especially in climb.
In thermals, the handling is beautifully balanced. The Wild 2 has a smooth, coordinated turn with just enough bite on the brakes to help you dial into cores precisely. Brake pressure is light to moderate, and there’s a bit more range before stall compared to some other EN-C 2-liners we’ve flown, giving a nice margin for error.
Performance-wise, it holds its own. We flew it alongside wings like the **Ozone Photon**, **Niviuk Artik R**, and **Gin Bonanza 3**, and the Wild 2 didn’t disappoint. It might not be the absolute top in glide at full speed, but it’s close—and the difference is small enough that we’d trade it for the Wild’s easier feel and slightly more relaxed character.
Speed and B-Control
The speed system works efficiently, with good acceleration and a solid feel on bar. The wing stays coherent and compact at speed, without the squirminess some high-aspect 2-liners can develop. B-control is effective, and the new riser setup makes pitch control while on bar feel natural and efficient—no weird geometry or awkward toggles here.
Safety and Comfort
Where the Wild 2 really stands out is its overall comfort. For a 2-liner EN-C, it’s very forgiving—less twitchy than the Artik R, more settled than the Photon. Collapse behaviour (tested in controlled SIV conditions) is very manageable. Recovery is clean and fast, with no nasty surprises. It’s not a beginner’s wing, of course, but for experienced XC pilots stepping up from a high-B or 3-line C, this would make a very sensible and confidence-inspiring move.
Who It’s For
In our opinion, the Supair Wild 2 is best suited to pilots who want **a solid, dependable 2-liner** that delivers top-level XC performance **without feeling like a handful**. It doesn’t have the razor-sharp feedback of some sportier wings, but it more than makes up for that with ease-of-use, comfort, and stability over long flights.
For pilots coming from a wing like the **Advance Sigma 11**, **Nova Mentor 7**, or **Phi Maestro 2**, this would be a logical and rewarding upgrade. For existing 2-liner pilots looking for something less demanding than a CCC glider or hot D, the Wild 2 makes an excellent daily driver.
Final Thoughts
The Supair Wild 2 feels like the result of thoughtful refinement. Supair haven’t tried to reinvent the wheel—they’ve just made a really good one. It offers a great balance of performance, safety, and handling that we think will appeal to a wide range of XC pilots.
As always, matching the wing to the pilot is key—and we’re happy to help with that. But if you're in the market for a comfortable, capable, and confidence-inspiring EN-C 2-liner, **the Wild 2 deserves a serious look**.
