The all new Golden4 is the latest Gradient creation. The wing is a natural follow-up model to the most successful Gradient model series ever, the Golden series. The result is pure style, with an aerodynamic design and an incomparable variety of uses, the Golden4 has the ingredients and design innovation to meet the demands of all kinds of pilots.
The agility, lift, performance and speed of the Golden4 are backed up by strong passive safety characteristics. Combined with Gradient’s typical sensitive handling and immediate feedback, means pilots fly relaxed and quickly harmonise with the wing, enabling them to fly to their potential.
It makes the Golden4 a truly reliable partner. Flying becomes intuitive, leaving your mind free to concentrate on making good decisions about your flight.
Flying the Golden4 starts with the typical, easy take-off characteristics Gradient pilots all over the world appreciate. Continuing with the well proved DDsystem allows the development team to prepare a very safe and stable glider with very interesting performance potential.
The Golden4 thermals with a flat turn, even when flying small circles. The wing reacts immediately to weight shifting and has precise brakes for sporty handling. It's well-balanced wing dynamics and a defined stall point gives this intermediate glider freestyle qualities. The glider also behaves in a calm and predictable way in extreme situations, leaving you confident of your safety while you regain normal flight – no matter if it was you or turbulence that caused the trouble.
The Golden4 utilises the special double-coated skytex cloth EVERLAST which was developed in partnership with Porcher Sort and Gradient. The target was to develop a very durable paragliding cloth that keeps its shape and stability in all directions, including radial and diagonal strength. Gradient intensively tested EVERLAST on the Nevada and Golden4 prototypes for eight months. These gliders were used by expeditions in very difficult weather and flying conditions with excellent results. We are now extremely proud to be able to bring this material exclusively to Gradient customers. The new Golden4 is the first glider to use EVERLAST along the leading edge, after which EVERLAST will be used in the development of all new Gradient gliders.
We are expecting delivering of the first models into the UK by the end of this month and we are offering a special discount on any advanced sales. We are confident that the Golden4 is another pilots classic.
