I'm a sucker for medium weight characters (i.e. Daisy/Luigi/my Mii) on the sports bike with slicks and the para foil. The handling is immense and the lack of grip can be easily countered with the right timing and skill.
I tried using other, faster setups, but I just can't ya very well without my excellent handling.
Do the various gliders have different effects? They don't seem to change anything when you have the stats up.
There are essentially two types of gliders: -0.25 Accel, +0.25 Weight and +0.25 Accel, -0.25 Weight. Most of them are the later, as I recall, but then maybe I just managed to unlock a bunch of Accel paragliders and have a few Weight paragliders in hiding.
To Me The Best Combo Consists Of:
Metal Mario (Or Any Heavy Character)
Jet Bike
Cushion Wheels
Airplane Glider
The Stats On This Thing Are Pretty Even Which Is Very Good
Shy Guy + Landship + Slim + Any glider
Toad + Standard ATV + Slim + Any glider
Rosalina + sport bike + slim + any glider
Yoshi + Wiggler + Standard + any glider

Bowser + Sports Bike + Slick + Bowser glide (obviously)
very good combo, but i would not recommended for anyone without MK8 experience, they way the bike turns can give you mre than a headache if you dont practice enough
I've been using Baby Rosalina + Gold Kart + Crimson Slim + Cloud Glider lately. Sometimes I use the Comet Bike if I need some extra handling. Though I find I get knocked around too easily, so maybe I should put together something heavier...
I now use what a certain app calls 'Heavyweight-FAB:' Morton, Jet Bike, Standard wheels, Bowser-Kite.
Inside-drifting, great speed and weight, acceleration at 3.0 (so no points watered). Most major downside is a 2.0 traction, but I can live with that.
I use Rosalina with a Jet Bike, Azure Rollers, and a squirrel glider. It works very well for me and I finish in the top 3 online a lot when I use this combo.

I use (Ludwig + Biddybuggy + Hot Monster Wheels + Parafoil)
Speed: 3/6
Acceleration: 3.5/6
Weight: 3.5/6
Handling: 3/6
Traction: 4.25/6
I also tend to do well with underwater, which makes sense because the Biddybuggy is among the best in underwater speed.
