Description

The Gin Avid is a robust EN-B cross-country wing built for pilots who fly in demanding conditions. Whether it’s strong thermals, turbulent mountain air, or rough coastal ridges, the Avid is designed to handle it all with composure and confidence. It’s the wing for pilots who want performance without compromise on durability.

Gin have used their most hard-wearing materials throughout the Avid, making it ideal for pilots who fly frequently, launch from rough terrain, or simply want a wing that will hold its performance over many seasons. The handling is precise and direct, with excellent feedback in turbulence and a solid, reassuring feel in the core.

Despite its rugged build, the Avid doesn’t sacrifice performance. It offers excellent glide and climb efficiency, with a speed system that feels smooth and progressive. It’s a wing that works hard so you can fly confidently in the conditions that other pilots avoid.
