Gradient has the honour of 6 current world records, the European XC record, the British XC record, the British Flight to Goal record as well as overall wins in all the major paragliding events: World Championship, World Cup and the X-Alps. Last year Luca Donini aboard his Gradient Axax SR7 won what is perhaps the highest rated event of the comp scene, The Europeans. This completes the set of the top trophies. This amazing record of success is mirrored by year on year sales growth in a market where many brands are seeing recession or turning to hype to hold on. Many pilots have achieved their best results on Gradient gliders which we consider reflects our aim to always build wings that are a pleasure to fly....You too may break a record some day. Your dreams are waiting... fly there!
