Climbing: the name of the game
The Evora is so gentle and well-balanced in the turn that climbing can easily become second nature. Thanks to the new, optimised planform, the turn is also relatively flat and efficient. It's much easier to follow moving thermal cores when your wing has a natural tendency to remain steady. Don't be surprised to find yourself top of the stack!
Forgiving but still fun
The Evora strikes a perfect balance between forgiving over-enthusiastic brake inputs and being responsive to subtler inputs, such as when you want to change the bank angle in a turn. The simple line concept and brake layout also helps the wing pull around smartly when required.
Stable at speed
The inherent pitch stability of the Evora is not only good for easy take-offs, efficient glides and entering or leaving thermals without brake. It is ideal for learning how to glide confidently with the speed bar. For pilots wishing to progress to C-riser control, an optional smart riser can be added when you are ready. The riser comes with a control toggle and a Harken pulley for extra smooth operation.
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."
