Gin Evora

So smooth

Internally stitched mini-ribs ensure that the trailing edge remains aerodynamically clean and there's no chance of external sewing snagging on rough take-offs. The ripstop re-enforcements have also been removed to prevent any potential issues.

Designer notes

Designer Torsten Siegel explains the development of the Evora:

“With the Evora, we spent a lot of time optimising the planform and line concept for more efficient climbs and better-balanced turns. We wanted a wing that would be undemanding for relatively inexperienced pilots, yet at the same time offer more than enough performance for the category — besides being lots of fun to fly!

It was not an easy wishlist, but we think we achieved it! This is a wing that really bridges the gap between school gliders and the highest performaing B wings like the Explorer series. The development took place across several continents with pilots of differing levels and the feedback was remarkably consistent: the Evora is a gentle, well=balanced wing with super-nice handling and very respectable allround performance.”

Flybubble review

"I tested the Gin Evora paraglider alongside the Gin Genie X-Lite, focusing on ground handling and flight performance. The Evora did pretty well inflating, though you gotta keep your hands busy when it's gusty out there. The Evora's launch was smooth sailing, showing off stability and easy handling even when the wind was all over the place. I gotta say, handling it on the ground felt just right for what pilots in this class would want. It's not the easiest, but certainly totally fine for the class.

Notably, the Evora exhibited pitch stability and moderate agility, contributing to its versatility across different flying scenarios. During flight, it instilled confidence with its predictable behavior and ease of handling, offering a reassuring experience to pilots. While its climb rate stood commendable, it may not match the exceptional levels seen in some competitors.

Despite not claiming the top spot in performance within its class, the Gin Evora shines as a well-rounded option. It strikes a balance between comfort, stability, and performance, making it an attractive choice for pilots seeking reliability and versatility. Whether soaring along ridges or navigating thermals, the Evora delivers a satisfying and enjoyable flying experience.

Furthermore, its adaptability extends to compatibility with different harnesses and pilot preferences, enhancing its appeal to a wide range of flying enthusiasts. Whether you're just dipping your toes into the paragliding world or you're a seasoned pro looking for your next ride, the Evora has you covered. It's all about that easy-breezy flying experience paired with reliable performance, making it the go-to choice for all kinds of flying enthusiasts.

In conclusion, while the Gin Evora may not boast top-tier performance, its well-rounded attributes and dependable flying characteristics position it as a strong contender in the mid-range segment. Pilots can confidently take to the skies knowing that the Evora delivers a reliable and enjoyable flying experience, making it a worthy addition to any pilot's repertoire."
