Description

Since the introduction of the Triple Seven King the wing has been widely recognised as the best EN D 3-liner on the market, with performance to match the best 2-liners up to around 50km/h. More impressively, the original King still holds this position today, more than 5 years later. But time doesn’t stand still, and neither does the Triple Seven R&D crew – so with a bunch of new ideas and refinements up our sleeves, we decided to introduce the next iteration while the competition is still busy catching up, thus cementing the lead and underscoring Triple Seven’s status as THE performance brand. The new King 2 is more than an update to an existing model – in fact, it has more in common with the Gambit than with the original King – but one thing remains constant; this is a top-performance paraglider with a very confidence-inspiring character, which will allow pilots with less than SkyGod status to excel in everything from ambitious XC flying to national-level competitions. It is very easy to fly, and surprisingly easy to fly well.. “When we started discussing the general concept of a King replacement, every option was on the table – we could decide to build a 2-liner like many of our competitors, with the benefits and the drawbacks inherent in this glider concept, or we could continue the King heritage by making a super accessible EN D wing through the incorporation of C-lines once more. In the end, we decided that the latter was the more sensible approach, to ensure that current King owners, and those aspiring to become one, would immediately recognise the breed of the wing above their heads.
