[no_toc]Since the 2023 season and early 2024, many new paragliders have hit the market. We already covered the major new development of EN-C 2-liners previously; here we'll take a quick tour of the 2024 paragliding new releases and our first impressions.
The new EN-B paragliders of 2024
Leaf 3 & Leaf 3 Light (SUPAIR):
If you want to progress without compromising on safety, Supair's Leaf is made for you. With its EN B certification, this wing's profile is designed to read the air mass and pass on information without startling you, a benchmark in passive safety. Available in a light version, more communicative.More information on the Supair website.

Step X (SUPAIR):
Says it all, the Step X will let you take an important step forward in your progression while keeping notable safety. Very forgiving in turbulent air, an undemanding wing for a 5.6 aspect ratio. EN B high certified, it stays surprisingly stable while precisely communicating the air mass's movements. Comfortable rear riser piloting.More information on the Supair website.

Theta DLS (ADVANCE):
Designed for performance, recommended by the best. The little sister of the XI, the Theta is Advance's new EN B middle release for 2024. At just 3.3kg in size 23, it's one of the lightest on the market without skimping on performance. An outstanding progression wing, with excellent glide and very stable, reassuring behavior in active air.More information on the Advance website.https://youtu.be/MT5jr1SaR9U?si=4bIxRWUnSems9Hi_

Rook 4 (TRIPLE SEVEN):
Review coming soon...
Arak 2 (SKYWALK):
A must for Skywalk fans, the Arak's reputation speaks for itself. Exceptional performance for an EN B middle certification. Direct, honest response, it communicates the air mass with precision, and keeps Skywalk's dynamic turn. Requires fairly active piloting, but more forgiving than its predecessor.More information on the Skywalk website.

Beat 2 + Beat 2 light:
Phi is back with its flagship EN B middle. Responsive and dynamic, also available in light, the Beat is an excellent progression wing. Fairly communicative, recommended for pilots with a significant flight volume, fairly demanding for its category, requires active piloting. Excellent glide, shaped for progressing toward CROSS country flying.

The new EN-C paragliders of 2024
Merlin (Sky Paraglider):
Sky Paraglider's new EN C release. A very high performing 2-liner feel, with a good glide. The real plus is accelerated speed, an honest, direct feel from the first bar, little degradation, for a constant speed. Very effective rear riser piloting, even allowing thermalling. A Dyneema system also fitted to the front lines changes the profile for optimization. Dynamic turn, keeps its efficiency without banking too steeply.

The new mountain wings of 2024
Pace:
A surprising single-skin wing, remarkable no-wind takeoff, adapts to settled breezes thanks to its fairly high flying speed. An efficient flare for its structure. With the trim system, landings come close to those of classic paraglider wings.
