Product Details

GTO 3

Sports competition
EN C

OUR SPORTS RACER

The GTO 3 is a serious XC wing aimed at competitive sports class (EN C) pilots. All aspects of performance have been optimised, from glide performance, top speed, B riser pressure to handling and feedback. The wing helps you develop that uncanny knack of climbing to the top of the gaggle and maximising this advantage on glide.

Performance and stability

The new profile of the GTO 3 enables even more pitch stability, especially when on bar. The glide feels very floaty as the wing has a tendency to efficiently cut through the air. All this equates to better performance.

Handling and climbing

The intuitive turn of the GTO 3 is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Handling is precise and direct and the wing requires minimal management in thermals, allowing you to focus on your strategy. The new planform with the swept back wing shape, in conjunction with the Wave Leading Edge, makes for exceptional climbing performance and feel.

Long usable speed range

The GTO 3 has a long accelerator travel with optimised B riser pressure. The stability at full speed is high, giving you full usability of the entire speed range.

Nature`s technology built-in

The GTO 3 features our Wave Leading Edge technology, which increases the performance at high angles of attack, giving a better sink rate at low speeds along with a more delayed and progressive stall. Inspired by the tubercles of the humpback whale, the technology has been realised in paragliders through the “GIN LAB”, a wind tunnel project run by Gin Gliders in collaboration with Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea.
