The Gin Explorer 2 is the lightweight benchmark in the EN-B category — a wing that sets the standard for what a lightweight intermediate can achieve. At just 3.2–4.1 kg, it delivers performance that rivals full-weight wings while packing down small enough for the most ambitious hike-and-fly missions.
Gin’s expertise in lightweight construction really shows in the Explorer 2. The materials are carefully selected for the optimal balance of weight, durability, and performance. The launch behaviour is excellent — the light cloth rises smoothly and predictably — and in the air, the handling is crisp and engaging with none of the vagueness that sometimes affects ultralight wings.
The Explorer 2 is for pilots who want genuine cross-country performance without carrying unnecessary weight. Whether you’re hiking to a remote mountain launch or simply want a wing that’s easy to handle on the ground, it delivers.
