Setting new standards once more
WE’RE THERE! Introducing the Triple Seven Queen 3, the EN C wing to let YOU fulfill your loftiest flying goals!
The Queen 2 was introduced in 2017 and quickly became the reference glider in the C class, due to its unprecedented mix of user-friendliness and performance. The competition results demonstrated what Queen 2 pilots already knew; finally a glider for the masses which could keep up with the top wings in all but the craziest conditions.
The new model does all that and more. Our designers have opted for a classic EN C design, with 3 line levels just like the Queen 2, and chosen a new material mix with Porcher Skytex. On paper, it may all sound like just a minor revision then – until you fly the wing, and feel the oomph of the performance increase! While you are at it you may also notice that the design team has managed to make the new wing even more accessible and easy to fly; we think this one really feels like an extension of your body and brain! The new Queen 3 – once again setting the standards in its class!
DESIGNER’S THOUGHTS
“It’s been a very exciting process to work on the Queen 3. The Queen line of EN C gliders embodies most of what I, as a paraglider designer, am passionate about in our sport; performance, fun in the air, ease of use, and passive safety.
The challenge of getting to combine these in the most sensible way is what makes my work interesting – and when I succeed, also satisfying! If you’re an EN C pilot I KNOW you will get a lot of satisfaction out of this new wing!”
Urban Valic, Queen 3 designer
WHO IS THE QUEEN 3 FOR?
Our new EN C glider hits the sweet spot for very many pilots; you could be someone who’s stepping down from the CCC or EN D class, but who’s unwilling to let go of the performance advantage of your previous wings, or you could be someone stepping up from the EN B class, keen on the expanding horizons but wary of any added stress – either way the Queen3 is the ideal choice to make your forays into the skies both efficient, entertaining and safe.
