BGD Punk
Über BGD Punk
The BGD Punk is BGD's mid-B XC wing — 54 cells, 5.4 flat aspect ratio, five sizes covering 50–125 kg, EN/LTF B certified. Marketed as a deliberate rebellion against dampened, "tasteless" intermediate wings — built around feel, controllability, and the explicit BGD philosophy that the wing should tell the pilot what the air is doing rather than hide it.
Performance numbers are competitive for the class: trim 39 km/h, top 55 km/h, quoted best glide 10 and minimum sink 1 m/s. Riser layout is 3/4/3 main lines (three A risers, four B, three C). The defining trait isn't the spec sheet though — it's the handling brief: BGD describe the Punk as "uncensored" and "eyes wide-open" in active air, giving direct feedback about thermals and turbulence rather than dampening it out. That makes it well-suited to intermediate pilots who want to learn to read the air, and to experienced pilots who want a fun, communicative B for daily XC flying.
