Hadron 3

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.

NYOS 2 RS

…superior XC flying!

The Nyos RS was once described as: “The Rolls Royce of the high-B class” in a highly acclaimed test report, because of its well-behaved flight characteristics.

The development goal of the Nyos 2 RS was to combine this flight comfort with more performance and sportiness, and thus accomplish something extraordinary: Disproving the preconception that more performance and agility mean less comfort and control.

Thus, the development of the Nyos 2 RS was driven by the philosophy of evolution, rather than revolution. We paid special attention to maintaining the proven characteristics of its predecessor, but by optimising the canopy and line drag, we were able to significantly increase maximum speed and performance on glide. The more agile and precise handling of the NYOS 2 RS – compared to its predecessor – noticeably improves its thermalling characteristics and is reflected in excellent climb performance. The tighter graduation of the weight ranges makes it easier for you to choose the ideal glider size.

In a nutshell: The NYOS 2 RS offers performance-hungry cross-country pilots exactly that, plenty of high level performance with maximum flight comfort. All in a wing that behaves in a predictable manner and is easy to control, even in demanding conditions.

Who is the Nyos 2 RS for?

Even though the Nyos 2 RS has inherited the high flying comfort of its predecessor and is easy to control, we recommend this wing for experienced intermediate pilots and ambitious cross-country hounds.

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).

K2 5 TANDEM

Simply share your passion

Both professional and private pilots have long appreciated the K2 tandem series. New to the K2 5: even better performance in terms of glide angle and climb performance. The usual pleasant UP handling is of course still there, while weight and material mix have been optimized for long-term use.

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.

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.

V-King ES

V-King ES is a strenghtened version of the V-King – a compact, single-skin EN-B paraglider, created for both free and powered flying. It is ideal for training.

Its small dimensions when packed are an enormous asset while travelling.

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 ES 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 ES is the perfect complement to the suitcase paramotors, recently appearing on the market.

V-King ES belongs to the single-surface canopy class. There is fundamental difference between classic double skin and modern single skin canopies. All the launch, landing and steering techniques look a bit different. If you are an established paraglider pilot, you shouldn’t have any problems with adapting to the wealth of new possibilities brought to you by the V-King.

However, this doesn’t work both ways: if you started your paragliding experience with the single-skin gliders, be aware that you are not qualified to safely fly standard double-surface canopies.

SERAC RS

...let´s fly together!

Versatility is a key that opens the door to freedom – the SERAC RS is a versatile all-rounder that covering everything you need for your next adventure

We have developed the SERAC RS for paraglider pilots who are also hikers, mountaineers, explorers, adventurers or simply outdoor enthusiasts and who want to flexibly organise their day alone, with friends or with the family.

Solo

Solo is a pleasant and easy-to-use reflex paraglider for solo fun/XC flying with a paramotor or a light trike. It's design allows for safe gathering experience at thermalling.

It is robust, stable and offers good lift.

Design and purpose

Both the design and advantages have evolved from the renowned tandem trike wing – the Cabrio. Solo offers a coherent & stable canopy, creating quite a lot of lift. All parameters have been selected to maintain the right proportions of passive safety, performance, and ease & precision of steering.

Solo will meet the expectations of both recreational and XC pilots. It provides security of the typical B-category wings level.

Launch

During the start, Solo fills and gets up willingly, with no tendency to lag or overtake. The entire launch takes place over a relatively short distance, at low speeds. The use of launch-assisting tapes is usually not necessary. We recommend starting with the trimmers fully engaged.

Flight

Solo is stable with good lift. Looks good at moderate speeds, but equally efficiently moves forward when you need to accelerate. The elements of reflex and Shark Nose protect your safety, while the general flight chracteristics and light controls make for effective use of encountered lift.

Variable airfoil geometry, adjustable with trimmers, allows you to adjust the airfoil shape to the current flight profile and precisely control the flight speed.

Solo features a dual control system. The main steering lines work similarly to the classic wings and can be used throughout the full range of the trimmer. Small TST handles are used mainly in accelerated flight (open trimmers). Such a system makes it easier for the pilot to control and increases the efficiency of making turns without putting much effort in it.

In turbulence, the wing behaves predictably and confidently, efficiently suppressing both lateral and front-rear swings.

Safe, simple and yet excellently maneuverable - with the RIMO 2 you get a real all-rounder for training and a relaxed start to your paragliding adventure. High passive safety combined with a new level of development characterize the RIMO 2 as the latest generation mid-A wing. Roll stability and top speed have been further improved compared to the previous model. A newly developed mix of materials ensures robustness combined with moderate weight and a handy pack size. This makes getting into flying fun!
