Freeway 3

V-King

V-King is a compact paraglider EN B class, essentially created for free flying and paramotoring as well. 

Small dimensions after packing make the V-king an ideal traveller's wing for a chance flying in the farthest corners of the world.

Design and purpose

Simple preparation for launch, easy, pleasant take-off and flight at a relatively low trim speed mean that flying becomes accessible to everyone, and learning it is pure pleasure.

The main advantage of the V-King is its compactness, still allowing for decent performance and pleasant handling. It is perfect to take it on a long journey, because it does not take up much space in your luggage (precious thing in air travels).

V-King is the perfect complement to the suitcase paramotors, recently appearing on the market.

What's new?

In short: everything. Because behind the name TORRE lies UP's first 2-liner with EN/LTF C certification. The new airfoil of the wing and the reduced line setup minimize drag and maximize top speed and performance. Want to push the full gas and leave the others behind? No problem with TORRE. The glide ratio remains excellent across the entire speed range. As is typical for a 2-liner, turbulence can be handled very well by the pilot via the risers, allowing even the smallest updrafts to be converted into altitude. The stable canopy is very resistant to collapses and, even if they come, they are easy to solve for experienced pilots. This is where the safety reserve of the C-class comes into play. It also has winglets – a first for any UP glider in the range.

The winglets are easy to explain: they improve direction stability. This helps straight flight, especially accelerated. It also helps in spirals and, above all, when exiting them. Overall, TORRE is the even sportier alternative to our 2.5-liner TRANGO X. Both have the typical UP handling. Ultimately, personal preference is the deciding factor.

Zakospeed 2

Mountains, clear air, snow and speed - that's your realm. Your thoughts wander around new sports - speedriding or speedflying, that will allow you to combine your skiing skills with paragliding-like experience. And once we are there, perhaps you would like to check yourself at groundhandling, so that real paragliding will be easier to learn, too? 

Then all you want is Zakospeed 2!

ZakoSpeed 2 is Dudek Paragliders answer to new, trendy needs of speedriding & speedflying. It is not a full-grown paraglider, so Zako must not be used for altitude or aerobatic flying.

On the other hand, there is nothing against its use in groundhandling – in fact, it is even better suited to it than a normal wing, presenting a great opportunity to acquaint yourself with paragliding.

Speedriding is downhill skiing or snowboarding brought into new dimension. The experience is enhanced with reduced performance wing, allowing you to make some hops on the way down – kind of moon-walking over moulds and obstacles. 

With slightly better performing craft a skier will be able to spend more time with the air, so instead of fast skiing with some hops it will be fast, low flying with some touch & go’s.

As you can see, the border line between speedriding and speedflying is rather vague – and that’s exactly the zone where our ZakoSpeed 2 dwells, allowing for incredible mix of three-dimensional winter experience.

Hike&Cruise

Double skin paraglider with 3-1 system. Light and pleasant, with good performance

Hike&Cruise is a very light double-skin paraglider for Hike&Fly, bivouac flights, and also as a main wing for free flying.

With a wide speed range, light weight and precise, agile steering, the Hike&Cruise is a great choice for pilots seeking a unique experience in the air.

It is a handy wing that can be packed into a small bag, easy to climb with and descend, or make a longer flight using thermals.

This paraglider features the 3-to-1 technology, ensuring good performance and low weight of the canopy, which in turn makes the wing a great fun to fly.

Boson

Boson is a reflex canopy, featuring much speed, lift and agility, dedicated for PPGG (powered trikes) or foot-launched PPG tandems.

Design and purpose

Boson is a paraglider designed for experienced pilots, flying actively and often, who are well familiar with reflex wings behaviour and have fully mastered flying them.

The recommended minimum is 300 hours paramotor time and at least 50 hours of annual flight time.

It was designed with competing and record hunting in mind. It features considerable speed range, precise handling, and great efficiency.

The reflex traits of the Boson are distinct, nevertheless you can use the speed system at all trimmer settings (themselves having generous range BTW).

MIURA RS

…one glider, two classes!

The best paraglider is whichever one is best suited to the particular pilot.

We developed the MIURA RS for ambitious pilots who are looking for a glider with excellent properties in thermal flight, which they can use to perfect their skills over a number of years.

Already in the development phase the XC-Allrounder became the absolute favorite glider of our test pilots with its direct and precise handling.

The challenge we faced when developing the MIURA RS was to create a glider with enough performance for ambitious beginners to be able to get into thermalling and cross-country flying, but which still had the feeling of safety and comfort during flight found in a basic intermediate wing.

As soon as we had tested the first prototypes, we knew that the MIURA RS was more than just an ordinary basic intermediate glider. Performance and handling reveal B category genes but, with moderate use of the speed system, its behavior in terms of safety is consistent with that of a glider in the A category.

For this reason we decided to have the MIURA RS certified twice: firstly as an A category glider suitable for training, and secondly as a basic intermediate with its benefits of the extended speed range. This is possible by adding or unmounting the speed limiter, which pilots can do themselves in just a few seconds.

If you decide to buy the MIURARS, you don’t have to choose one or the other!

Snake 3

Snake 3 is a new version of our slalom flagship. Top performance without compromises.

Design and purpose

The Snake 3 is a challenging slalom wing for top competitors. Very fast and dynamic turns with exceptional resistance to collapses.

The design and testing process lasted a record 5 years. It took so much time and effort to meet the design goals while keeping the self-imposed principle of “no compromises”.

During this time, Snake 3 was extensively tested by the world’s best slalom pilots. They achieved excellent results, often winning the PF1 and PL1 classes.

The Snake 3 is recommended for pilots already familiar with at least DriftAir-class, or more demanding wings. Experienced pilots will appreciate the Snake 3 as an advanced and precise tool to help them win competitions.

Colt 2

Colt2 is an EN C paraglider of 6,2 aspect ratio and 61 cells.

Since it was designed for actively flying pilots, it’s perfect for both cross-country and competition flying. This canopy features high passive

safety accompanied by great performance and perfect handling.

Design and purpose

Colt 2 is designed with experienced pilots in mind who like new challenges, but appreciate safety and pure joy of flight.

We’ve been refining the canopy for a long time in order to present D class agility and performance along with C-class safety and easy handling. Optimal balance of passive safety and performance of the original Colt has been further improved in this version.

The original Colt was enhanced with modern solutions tried in the Coden: shark nose and three sections of rods (Flexi Edge technology).

The wingtip was modified too. Airfoil of the Colt 2 despite its high lift to drag ratio has some traits of a reflex profile too, used optimally for the paraglider’s class, intended use and performance.

The aspect ratio was carefully balanced in order to fully utilize the merits of the new ideas, while retaining the most optimal proportion of passive safety and performance, which we believe to be the best in this paraglider class.

GURU

The peak of performance

The Guru is our pure competition glider. Every single detail was optimized for the maximum of performance. 

Being the bigger brother of our successful Meru (EN D), the Guru has as well a very nice handling. 

The proven mix of high class materials combined with the latest techno- logical improvements and perfect mix of all input factors, results in an extraordinary wing!

2020 edition: This model is now also equipped with our popular snap-lock break handle.

SPHERA RS

…XC 2-liner secured by RAST!

Experience the revelation that is the pure performance of a 2-liner combined with the flight comfort and control of RAST!

With the Sphera RS, our patented RAST system enters the high-performance class for the first time by offering a completely new flying experience. It has never been easier and so comfortable to pilot a 2-liner and to exploit its full performance potential. That’s why the Sphera RS is the first choice for ambitious XC pilots as well as aspiring competition pilots who want to enter the 2-liner class and raise themselves to a higher level. 

RAST helps you to focus completely on your flying task in order to get the most out of the day.

Uncomplicated XC  2-liner for highest demands

RAST® for maximum control in every situation

High-End Design

Accessibility 100%

Cross country flying 100%

Serial-Class Competition 100%

We first put RAST in our paragliders that were certificated A through to C and it soon proved its worth in practice. Therefore it was a logical step to think that it should also have unique advantages to offer pilots of 2 liners too.

We first put RAST in our paragliders that were certificated A through to C and it soon proved its worth in practice. Therefore it was a logical step to think that it should also have unique advantages to offer pilots of 2 liners too.

We suspected that in regards to canopy control, especially when there are only two sets of lines, it would be reassuring for the pilot to know there was a unique element between the line levels that stabilised the canopy and counteracted the spread of any canopy deformations.

Hadron 3

Hadron 3 is a paraglider combining the best of Hadron XX and Hadron 1.1 for the efficient cross-country flying.

Precise steering, stable flight, great performance.

Design and purpose

This wing is dedicated for the active and much flying pilots, who know the character of reflex paragliders and can manage them well. The recommended minimum is 200 hours paramotor time and at least 80 hours of annual flight time.

Hadron 3 has been designed as a solid vehicle for fast covering the ground. It features wide speed range, precise steering and great performance.

It launches flawlessly and easy, smoothly rising up. Does not stay behind, even with trimmers set at slow and nil wind.

Reflex airfoil of Hadron 3 stays almost constant, and the speed system can be safely used at all trimmer settings. When cutting through lift or turbulence the canopy stays over your head with only slight nicking, so it doesn’t require your constant attention.

Marlin Mono

A single-skin fun and training wing. 

Supplements training in too windy or too quiet days, and integrates family and friends in the common play on the nearby lawn. At the same time it is durable and affordable.

The wing is small, light and easy to use. The control system, risers and line colors are the same as in the Nemo 4 school wings, which will facilitate their mastering at later training stages.

Universal 1.1

Universal is the first free flying (EN B) paraglider ever which can be converted by its user into a full-blood paramotor canopy (conforming to the DGAC standard).

Universal is a great free-flying recreational paraglider. 

Beginning pilots will surely appreciate exceptional comfort in uneasy thermals, resulting from considerable amount of reflex traits present in the design.

Design and purpose

Universal is the first free flying (EN B) paraglider ever, which can be converted by its user into a full-blood paramotor canopy (conforming to the DGAC standard).

After activating the trimmers and installing the ALC + Universal 1.1  becomes a fully reflex wing with good economy, on which you can fly for recreational and cross-country flights, use thermals, and learn to fly with the engine.

Universal 1.1 is a refreshed version of its predecessor, with improved risers and a redesigned color scheme in the Four Elements palette. We replaced Dominico fabric with Porcher and changed the colors of the lines (according to PMA standards). We have modernized risers’ tooling, simplifying their structure, making them more transparent and more convenient to use. 

The basic parameters of the wing have not changed.
