The Bora was designed as an intermediate glider. The models are each named for their approximate wing area in square metres. [1]

The improved Bora 2 was introduced in 2003 and remained in production in 2016. [1] [2]

Reviewer Noel Bertrand noted the Bora 2's introduction in 2003, writing, "this elegant wing, like all high performance wings, has triple cells with diagonal cell bracing and thin section lines". [1]
