find me a good EN C light weight paraglider

The supplied sources describe several lightweight EN C options, but no gear-catalogue product matched your request, so this is a limited source-based shortlist—not a ranking or proof of stock.

- PHI Scala 2 Light is described as right at the top of the EN-C two-liner class, with very good climb, thermalling, glide and speed, and as competitive for hike-and-fly races and XC; it does B3s [2].

- Skywalk Mint is an EN-C two-liner tested over several days; it comes in six sizes covering 55–125 kg all-up, with aspect ratio 6.4 flat and 4.92 projected [3].

- Supair Savage is Supair’s EN C rated lightweight three-liner, around 4 kg in medium, in four sizes from XS to ML covering 65 kg at the smallest size’s lower end to 115 kg at the ML top [5].

- Triple Seven Q-Light is described as “mildly demanding” for low-airtimers and better suited to pilots with at least one XC season on an EN C wing [6].

Tell me your all-up flying weight (not body weight), experience and goals; confirm size/load range and compatibility with Flybubble or a qualified instructor before buying.

  1. [2] DOES IT STAND OUT In The EN C Class? - PHI SCALA 2 LIGHT First Flights Review

    the Scala Light, and I'd say it's definitely right at the top of the EN-C two liner class and the EN-C class generally. I think the combination of its very good climb rate and very good thermaling ability and also excellent glide and [music] very good speed and very good speed at glide are going to make the Scala 2 Light a very competitive glider in the hike and fly uh hike and fly races and general for general cross country flying. So, having a descent technique, a nice simple descent technique like big ears or the B3s is very useful. And with the original Scala Light, um you couldn't do either big ears or um all the B3s. So, that was a shame. And with the Scala 2 Light, I'm really pleased to say that it does the B3s. Um

  2. [3] Based On X-ALPS Wing - SKYWALK MINT Paraglider Review (Comparing With Other EN C 2 Liners)

    on Skywalk New EN-C 2-liner, the MINT. So far, I've tested the MINT over a few days in a wide variety of conditions. I've also done a good amount of ground handling. I've flown the MINT with three different harnesses, the Advanced Impress 4 and Lightness 3, and also the Supair DELIGHT 4. Is the MINT a breath of fresh air, or did it leave a bad taste in my mouth? Let's find out. (upbeat brooding music) First, I'll cover a few details. The MINT comes in six sizes covering weights from 55 to 125 kg's all up. So the aspect ratio of the MINT is 6.4 flat and 4.92 projected. That's slightly more than Gin's Bonanza 3 at 6.3 and slightly less

  3. [5] ULTIMATE CLIMBING BEAST? Supair SAVAGE Paraglider Review

    The Supair SAVAGE, that's Supair's EN C rated lightweight wing, three liner. I have actually flown the SAVAGE quite a lot. Mainly in two sizes, the small and the medium. Straightaway one of its standout characteristics is it's a climber. It climbs exceptionally well. It's one of the best climbing paragliders I've ever flown. It's meant to be a true EN C sports glider. And it's lightweight. Only around four kilos for the size medium. So it's definitely a lightweight construction and relatively compact. So the SAVAGE comes in four sizes. From extra small to ML. Covering weight ranges from 65 kilos at the lower end of the smallest size up to 115 kilos at the top of the ML.

  4. [6] Triple Seven Q-LIGHT paraglider review

    d at least stay within striking distance of the lead gaggle, this is a good choice. If you’ve got at least one XC season on an EN C wing you’ll adapt fast to the Q-LIGHT’s determined nature and you’ll love the performance combined with great stability. If this is your first EN C wing, you might have to spend some time developing your launch skills and weightshift timing to get the best out of this wing. It’s ‘mildly demanding’ for low-airtimers, but once airborne it’s pitch stable and balanced. There’s no yaw, little roll, and turns feel very efficient. It feels trimmed, taut, steady and relatively fast … designed for long days in the mountains, chasing distant goals.
