ADVANCE BIBETA 6 – The Ultimate Tandem Wing for Demanding Professionals
When it comes to professional tandem flying, nothing matters more than reliability, handling precision, safety, and efficiency. The ADVANCE BIBETA 6 is the sixth generation of one of the most trusted tandem paragliders on the market, and it’s built to exceed expectations in every flight scenario.
Whether you’re operating daily commercial flights, instructing beginners, or navigating thermals in the mountains, this wing adapts with power, grace, and remarkable consistency. Its optimized takeoff behavior, intelligent line architecture, and stable in-flight characteristics make it one of the top-performing tandem wings in the air today.
Let’s take a deep dive into everything the BIBETA 6 offers.
✅ Engineered for Effortless Takeoff and Precision Handling
Takeoff is one of the most critical phases in a tandem flight. With the BIBETA 6, pilots benefit from a highly optimized line layout with 16% fewer lines, resulting in less tangle risk, faster pre-flight setup, and ultra-smooth inflation. The canopy rises evenly with minimal effort, even in nil wind, and stabilizes quickly — an essential advantage in alpine launches or tight takeoff zones.
In the air, the BIBETA 6 responds fluidly to brake inputs. Its brake pressure is finely tuned — light enough to reduce pilot fatigue during long flights but firm enough to maintain feedback and control authority. This translates into tight thermal circling, easier precision flying, and confident flare control during landing.
⚙️ Advanced Materials for Everyday Use
Designed to withstand the rigorous demands of commercial tandem use, the BIBETA 6 is constructed using high-quality materials throughout:
- Edelrid Magix Pro Aramid Lines: These high-end lines offer 20% higher break resistance and 17% better kink resistance than standard lines. The UV-Protec coating ensures longevity even with frequent sun exposure.
- Dominico DOKDO Fabric: Lightweight and durable, this fabric offers a perfect balance between weight savings and ruggedness, ensuring long-term durability without sacrificing performance.
- Internal Reinforcements: Sliced diagonals, mini-ribs, and rod reinforcements at the leading edge maintain structural integrity while improving airflow and collapse resistance.
🪂 Optimized Trimmers and Descending Techniques
The trimmer system on the BIBETA 6 allows for quick speed increases of up to 6 km/h — a key feature when flying in windy conditions or covering long distances. The split A-risers and Vary-Grip system make big ears intuitive and easy to execute, which is ideal for controlled descents or avoiding airspace.
