The focus for The Gradient team was to create a wing for a wider range of beginners.

The aim to create a new glider which has the right characteristics to achieve an effective and fast learning progress among the pilots. With easy launch and stable flight fit for beginners this is a glider that will provide the developing pilot with a relaxed paragliding experience.
The Bright 4 comes complete with a new design image and in a brand new colour design: The classic Gradient under-surface has been replaced by the big G logo .which matches with the upper sails colour combinations.
