A sophisticated combination of materials significantly helps 

to reduce weight of the glider (to 7.3 kg). The BiGolden3 is the 

first Gradient tandem glider where we have used Everlast, 

 

a double-coated Porcher material. Everlast was developed 

by  Gradient  in  co-operation  with  Porcher  Sport,  and  this 

exclusive material provides gliders with long-term stability 

and durability.

The BiGolden3 is supplied with a well-tried four-riser speed  

system    with    split  A-risers  and  trimmers  with  a  working 

range of 8cm. 

The total length of the risers is only 35cm.
