A versatile machine

The Griffin has an exceptionally wide certified weight range. Flown in the higher end of the weight range, the wing is truely fast and dynamic and is suitable only for experienced pilots. But flown in the low-end of the weight range, the dynamics are somewhat reduced and the wing is more accessible.

Light but not extreme

The Griffin is one of the lightest wings in its category, and at only 2.1kg easily fits in a 30 litre daysack! Despite the light weight, the main and mid- lines are sheathed for ease of use and durability. Easy-to-handle 12mm Kevlar risers are standard, and lightweight Dyneema riser and soft shackles are available as an option.

All-terrain action

Thanks to its compact size and short lines, the Griffin is easy to launch in tricky places and demanding conditions. It has the performance to glide out of tight spots and a good enough sink rate to thermal up when flown at reasonable wing-loadings. Wherever you fly, you will love the precision and general feel of its handling. The Griffin is a real toy, take it out to play!

Also available in standard weight fabric


The Griffin can also be ordered in standard weight fabric for pilots flying in tougher terrain, in coastal areas or who can afford to carry a few extra grammes.

The canopy fabric is Dominico 30D fabric, which offers excellent durability and value. Please note that the Griffin certification is not applicable to this version of the Griffin due to the change of fabric. Pilots who require a certified wing should choose the standard Griffin 16.
