Three optional spreader versions are available to go with the BIPRO 4: Hard Hybrid, Soft Trim and Soft. All versions can be used with Quickout paraglider carabiners.

WarningThe two Maillon Rapide 5 mm carabiners (650 kg load capacity and /3.250 kg breaking strain) are exclusively for use for connecting spreaders to the BIPRO 4 harness!

Overview Tandem Combi

Hard Hybrid Spreaders (295 g*)

The Hard Hybrid spreaders have a central main paraglider support point (1) and a supplied Maillon Rapide 5 mm quicklink (4) (incl. Neoprene cover (5) ) to be used for connecting the pilot’s end (8). One end of each reserve connection line is permanently connected at the spreader main support point (2). The other end (6) goes on the outside of the carabiner through the magnet-closed loop on the Neoprene cover (5) to the BIPRO 4 shoulder straps, then into the tube pocket (7) and finally connects to the reserve.

InfoThe Hard Hybrid Spreader can be easily converted to Soft by simply removing the carbon bracing rod.

Soft Trim Spreaders (237 g*)

The Soft Trim spreaders have a single support point for the tandem glider (1). The pilot’s height position can be adjusted during flight by means of trimmers (3), to compensate for the passenger’s weight and meet the pilot’s requirements.

The carabiner-replacement quicklinks (incl. Neoprene covers (5) ) supplied with the spreaders go through the pilot’s loops (4) and connect to the BIPRO 4 main supports (8). One end of each reserve connection is fixed to the spreader main support point (2). The other end (6) runs on the outside of the carabiner through the magnet-closed loop on the Neoprene covers (5) to the BIPRO 4 shoulder strap, and excess length is stowed in the Tube-Pocket (7) there. The remaining end attaches to the reserve.

Soft Spreaders (175 g*)

Soft-Spreaders have three different main support points for the tandem glider (1).

The supplied Maillon Rapide quicklinks (incl. Neoprene covers ) are each used to connect a pilot’s spreader end (4) to the BIPRO 4 main supports (8). Reserve connection lines are fixed to a spreader below the main attachment point (2). The other ends of the connection lines (6) go on the outside of the carabiner through the magnet-closed loop on the Neoprene covers (5) to the BIPRO 4 shoulder straps and the excess length neatly stowed in the Tube-Pockets there (7). The ends then connect to the reserve.

WarningWhen fitting the paraglider carabiners make sure that the numbers for the hangpoints are on top. The reserve connection lines must run along the underside of the spreaders. If this is not the case you have the spreaders upside down.
