    Really nice comparisons to where the Epic 2 sits in comparison to other gliders (comparison to 777 & Advance). As a low airtime Epic owner I often find reviews too generic but here you set the wing in context. Thanks.

    Thanks for the review! I really like that you tell where you see the glider in comparison to other gliders. Thats makes the review a lot better/helpful.
    Will there be reviews of the Supair Delight 4 and the Niviuk Arrow? Greetings from Germany:)

    How does the Epic 2 compare to the Ion 7 / 7 light? I already saw both of your reviews and also flew the Epic 2 in Columbia but maybe you could point out the main differences? Thank you in advance! :)

    I've flown and made a video on the Epic under power, not sure if it was a 1 or two, and really liked it! I did notice it oscillated a bit more than others, have you noticed that?

    Stepping down from High-B next year for a number of reasons - but I never want to miss the incredible good agility when it comes to wings like Base 2 and Rush 6.
    I'm looking at Epsilon DLS (since I flew the 9er for almost 3 years), but knowing Advance it might not be very "playful" as in agility terms.
    Would you, Greg and team, say that the Epic 2 reacts nice and snappy-ish when only the breaks are used, or do you need to put an extra bit of pressure there +/- body weight?
    I know it's subjectively speaking, and yes, I will test both anyways before deciding. But beforehand expert advice helps.
    Thank you! Safe flights!
    Bonus question, sorry: A MID-B would also be an idea, but I cannot find a lot of wings in that area.

      Cos there's only so many hours in the day to test, film and edit - in between running the Flybubble business! 😜

    Does the lighter version of this, the Echo 2, have similar handling?

    How do you guys think the epic 2 would compare to the epic 1? :-)

    • @flybubblecarlo
      @flybubblecarlo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      We've flown both the original Epic the Epic 2 a good amount, so know them well. In brief, in the air I feel the Epic 2 has the similar pilot demands, handling (bit sharper, more precise), comfort and feeling (bit sharper), with slightly (but noticeably) better performance all-round, slightly flatter and more efficient turn (less rolly). On the ground, the Epic 2 again has similar pilot demands, perhaps even a little easier as it comes up better, with less of a delay at the 1/3 point compared to the original Epic. And of course the Epic 2 has a BC system, which he original doesn't. To know more about the technical differences of each, see their product descriptions and manuals.

    Nova Phantom seems still best performance in the low B class.

    • @flybubbleparagliding
      @flybubbleparagliding  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your sharing your opinion! 🙏 The Phantom (2016 version) was without the best performing low B wing when it was released, and for a few years after. However, from our comparative testing that hasn't been the case for at least a few years already. Actually from our testing there are at two high A wings that outperform the Phantom, the Phi Symphonia 2 and Supair Birdy. To be fair, the Phantom was released 7 years ago so it's a pretty old model now. Things have moved on a lot since then! The great news nowadays is you can get even better performance and safety for a lot less money! 😄 flybubble.com/wings/progression-paragliders
