Concept
The Freestyle2 is a completely new development by the Gradient Team and was
designed in cooperation with experienced acro pilots. The wing’s main characteristics
are the highly stable profile, easy stall characteristics and sensitive handling in deep
stall – fundamental basics for an up-to-date freestyle wing. Gradient’s ‘no compromise’
philosophy has been used to in the build – only materials of the highest standard
have been used, helping make this wing what it is. There are reinforcements at all
points of high stress, building security into your wing and giving you ultimate peace
of mind. Rated to 12G and a take-off weight of 135kg the Freestyle2 passed its official
shock and load tests without any problems. This opens the door to all international
FAI-accredited acro competitions. The wing’s colour scheme can be customized too
– just ask us for details and we’ll make your dream wing come true.

Maintenance
Paragliders are aircraft and as such demand a high level of maintenance and
inspection. That is why great importance is attached to after-sales service.
Gradient provides after-sales service at our headquarters in Prague or by Gradient-
authorised workshops. For more details contact your national importer or Gradient.
If you handle your glider with care and store it in a suitable place it can last you a
very long time. On the other hand, neglecting maintenance, bad storage and the use
of unsuitable cleaning products can reduce the lifetime of your glider significantly or
may even make it dangerous.
You should follow these rules:
• Choose a suitable area for your launches. Lines caught on roots or rocks lead to
unnecessary strains on the attachment tabs during inflation. Snagging lines may rip
the canopy tissue or damage lines.
• When landing, never let the canopy fall on its leading edge in front of the pilot!
The effect of these forceful collisions and the sudden pressure increase can severely
