Montana

Gradient's latest Lightweight Glider


Introducing the Montana - the light weight glider from GRADIENT, successor of the legendary Delite. Last During 2007, the first prototypes of the new glider were tested in South Africa and Australia. The Montana has 40 cells and, although it uses similar materials to the Delite it is 400 grams lighter. With thinner risers these new gliders are perfect for the exploration of the mountains and other 'off the beaten path' sites and for ideal for travellers looking to reduce weight yet not to compromise on performance.

The Montana is En B /LTF 1/2 rated and comes in 4 sizes (24 m ², 26m ² 28m ² and 30m²) with a weight range from 58 kg to 125 kg.
