After three very succesfull „Golden" years Gradient is preparing a new intermediate glider; The Golden II (DHV 1-2 category).

The target group of pilots is the same as for the Golden II. (A typical DHV 1-2 glider). We have completely redesigned this new glider : number of cells is 50, new modified airfoils, new materials, new colour and colour combinations and the Golden II will be available in five certified sizes.

Delite is a light version of the renowned Golden.
Delite is not only a mountain glider it is also the solution for pilots that appreciate light-weight and small volume equipment for travelling and normal flying. Design of the glider is based on the Golden, which means that Delite is very well balanced in relation to stability and performance. By using a combination of different materials for the canopy Gradient has achieved good durability, low canopy weight, and good performance. For example, micro lines reduce weight and produce less drag in flight. The result is a durable, light glider with very interesting performance potential.
