Introducing the Bolero 6
Ever since its �rst version in 1999, the Bolero has provided a solid foundation for thousands of
pilots to develop their skills—from the �rst steps on the training slopes to soaring eퟍ�ortlessly
amongst the clouds.
The Bolero 6 is intended as a �rst paraglider, suitable for school use but also for regular
pilots who want to �y relaxed. The glider gives just the right amount of feedback to enable
pilots to develop instinctive �ying skills in a safe, comfortable and progressive manner.
The Bolero 6 features the second iteration of EPT (Equalized Pressure Technology), our
numerical method of calculating the best possible airfoil parameters for any given pro�le.
Introduced in the Bolero 5, EPT brought many beginner-friendly improvements, such as a long
and progressive brake range and a low stall speed. The Bolero 6 features further
improvements such as improved take-oퟍ� behaviour, stability and handling.
The Bolero 6 has 3 risers and 3 main lines spanwise per side. The simple riser and reduction
in line consumption makes it easier to identify and sort out lines on the ground.
The handling of the Bolero 6 strikes the balance needed to optimally develop a pilot's �ying
instincts. The brakes are precise yet forgiving. The turn is responsive and playful, but always
co-ordinated and comfortable. The wing gives clean and intelligible feedback which makes it
easy to learn about the air, whilst the reduced mini-oscillations ensure that pilots make
comfortable progress towards �ying in more active air. All this means simply more fun!
Delivery
Make sure your dealer has checked and test-�own the glider. Your glider will be delivered to
you with the original trim settings which correspond to the tested con�guration. Do not make
any modi�cations, such as changing the risers or altering the line lengths. This would
invalidate the certi�cation and is potentially dangerous.
NOTE: Your glider may have been delivered with some lines looped on the maillons, this is
to allow the glider to be re-trimmed during a professional check at the recommended
service interval.
Manufacturing
All GIN gliders are produced in the company's own facilities using the most modern
techniques. Highly skilled staퟍ� take extreme care during the entire manufacturing process.
Stringent quality control is made after each step, and all materials that go into each wing can
be traced. These measures guarantee that pilots �y with the assurance that their wing meets
the most exacting safety standards.
