Entry Level Paraglider
The new ALPHA takes the classic entry-level wing to the next level in terms of performance and passive safety. The more robust version of the ALPHA series is the ideal entry level wing and will continue to get you airborne safely and with great performance long after your finishing your license. Available now at your ADVANCE dealer.
Easy
Lift off with ease
The ALPHA series stands out with its clear line setup and colour-coded risers and brake handles, making ground handling especially intuitive. The wing launches effortlessly and is exceptionally easy to fly, thanks to its balanced pitch and roll behaviour.
Safe
Total confidence
With features like extended brake travel, the ALPHA series offers exceptional safety margins. This allows you to gradually explore new manoeuvres and tackle challenges with ease. Thanks to its high turbulence absorption, you’ll enjoy a smooth and steady flight every time.
Fun
Joy of flying
The responsive, dynamic handling combined with high passive safety makes flying pure fun. With the versatile ALPHA DLS, you can embark on Hike & Fly adventures and travel with confidence and ease.
TECHNOLOGY & FEATURES
MAXIMUM PASSIVE SAFETY
The profile has state-of-the-art Air Scoop technology, offering higher maximum lift, which delays airflow separation. Progressive brake pressure provides a clear and noticeable warning as you approach the stall point.
“Easy Connect System” for safer hook in
The ALPHA risers have a "Easy Connect System", which helps the pilot hook in correctly by using a coloured marking system. This reduces the probability of the beginner connecting a twisted riser, or attaching the risers to the wrong carabiners. For maximum compatibility among ADVANCE products the same coloured markings are applied to all ADVANCE harness suspension points.

Ranges
The ALPHA series is designed with Seamless Weight Ranges, offering even better sizing for lighter pilots. They enable a seamless transition from one wing size to the next, so that any pilot suits only one ideal take-off weight range. In this way, the ALPHA series guarantees the optimum balance of useful airspeed and climb performance in all flying conditions. Like its predecessor, the ALPHA series also has an extended weight range of up to 15 kg in each size.
