Echo
A resonance of the EPIC with a stripped-down line-set and a lighter mix of materials, BGD’s ECHO shaves 500-700g while offering extra performance and versatility for no compromise in safety.
The ECHO benefits from sharp, easy handling with 3D CCB panel-shaping for a clean, high-performing aerofoil. The lighter weight means less inertia, reduced shooting and increased roll stability.
BGD’s strong shark nose adds stability to the leading edge at all speeds, and a silky-smooth Ronstan ball-bearing speed system keeps bar-action smooth on those long flights.
Purchase includes Rucksack / Speed bar / Repair kit / Stuff sack / Riser bag / Compression strap / BGD T-shirt / USB stick with manuals / BGD stickers.
