APCO Bunny Hop ParaKite
APCO Bunny Hop ParaKite
The Bunny Hop is the parakite to start on. With 19 to 21.5 m² projected area it carries more than the sharper wings in this class, and its Gear-Shift system lets you decide how directly it answers – from calm to lively, without tools.
What it is built for
Ground handling and the first hops on the slope, dune soaring, hike-and-fly and calm speedflying. It is the wing you learn the discipline on and keep flying once you can.
How it flies
Slowest flight is 25 km/h, trimmed it sits between 43 and 47 km/h, top speed is 69 km/h; minimum sink is 1.2 m/s at a suitable wing loading. That is a narrower, calmer window than a performance parakite – which is exactly the point while you are building the reflexes.
The Gear-Shift system
Three brake ratios, changed by hand and without tools. 1:4 gives you long travel and forgiving response for the early days. 1:3 sits in between. 1:2 makes the wing answer immediately – the setting you grow into. All three ratios are included; you do not buy the wing twice.
Which size suits you
What counts is your take-off weight – pilot, harness, reserve, helmet, clothing and equipment combined.
| Size | Take-off weight | Projected area |
|---|---|---|
| 22 (S) | 55–115 kg | 19.11 m² |
| 24 (M) | 60–125 kg | 20.30 m² |
| 26 (L) | 70–135 kg | 21.48 m² |
APCO publishes measured data for every size here – nothing is open. Within a range, more weight on the wing means more speed and more direct handling, less weight means calmer behaviour and better performance in light wind.
Colours
Red, Yellow and Surf. We confirm which colour is available at short notice before dispatch.
What comes with it
1:2 four-line risers with control system, the complete Gear-Shift kit and a pack bag. Optional: Light Backpack 80 l, Light Clinch Bag and Compression Bag.
Matching harness
APCO Hike, Ozone Atak 2, Dudek Catch and Dudek Mia. Which one suits you depends on your height, reserve system and intended use.
Warranty and advice
APCO grants 3 years or 250 flight hours. Before you buy we go through harness, reserve, take-off weight and planned use together – especially if this is your first parakite.
