Hadron 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.

MISTI

magic brakes

AN ACRO ALL-ROUNDER

The Misti project started back in 2015. The goal was clear: build a trademark UP glider for the acro scene - a durable product that pilots love to fly. At the end of 2018, we went back to the drawing board with Ondrej Procházka to tease out the essential points of such an all-round glider; and build it. 

We were striving to come up with a glider that suits most pilots, starting with beginners. A wing that is as easy as the current "relaxed" acro gliders. In a big size, you can have it as a glider to enter the acro flying world. In addition, we ended up with such maneuverability and usable energy that the glider in a smaller size will capture the heart of advanced pilots. 

The project would not have had such a good outcome without the skills of our chief designer Franta Pavlousek. His many decades of glider development experience make the UP Misti a very complete and interesting glider to fly.

Colt 2 Light

Colt 2 Light 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 with great performance and perfect handling... and light weight of course...

Design and purpose

Colt 2 Light 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).

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!

Freeway 3

Freeway 3 is designed for beginner and intermediate acro pilots. The new Freeway allows you to perform all acro figures with smooth transitions between them

The greatest achievement in the new Freeway is that it allows you to perform all acro figures, including infinity tumbling, while allowing for even smoother transitions between them.

Freeway 3 is a continuation of the earlier wings developed by Jean Baptiste-Chandelier, a specialist in freestyle and aerobatic flying.

Freeway3 is designed for beginner and intermediate acro pilots. To fly it, experience gained on SIV courses and the ability to properly perform a full stall are necessary. The wing will then be the right tool to master all other maneuvers.

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.

SUMMIT X

The horizon is not enough!

WHEN YOU WANT TO GO FASTER, FURTHER, HIGHER!

The simultaneous release with the new Trango X is no coincidence, but shows once again how technologies from higher classes find their way into lower categories. 

Accordingly, the new Summit X has inherited the genes of its "big brother" and, in addition to the brand new 2-liner hybrid line setting, also shows its family affiliation in the airfoil. 

The fact that this interplay of new technologies can now also find its way into the B-Class is due not least to the successful cooperation with a renowned technical university, which was significantly involved in the development of the new, more powerful and more rattle-resistant profile. 

Countless simulations and several prototypes later, we are proud to be able to usher in a new era in the B category with the new Summit X!

More Info:

The new Summit X is more powerful than ever thanks to its completely new airfoil and the 2-liner hybrid line system! The certification in the B-segment was achieved completely without folding lines!

TRANGO X

Switch to the fast lane!

SATISFY YOUR HUNGER FOR PERFORMANCE!

Trango! One glider. One name. A huge fan community worldwide!

After setting new class standards from generation to generation with the Trango predecessors, now finally follows a worthy and long-awaited successor with the Trango X!

If you have flown the Trango X-Race, then you can certainly imagine the mammoth task our R&D team faced when it came to turning the performance screw even further, but without losing sight of the core characteristics of the Trango, for which our performance wing is highly praised worldwide: Handling, stability, thermal characteristics, climb performance... to list just a few of the much praised top attributes!

After many prototypes and various design approaches, UP has once again succeeded in creating a wing that we are extremely proud to present to the large fan community as a worthy successor to the popular Trango series! The Trango X is here. Change to the fast lane! Now!

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).

MANA 2

Easy! Light!

INCREDIBLY VERSATILE

The Mana² is, as its name suggests, the second generation of our ultra-light fun-guarantor! The Mana² is extremely versatile and its tiny pack size and light weight make it the best companion for all kinds of adventures!

- Very low canopy weight; this not only increases comfort, but also significantly improves launch behavior and offers increased safety in flight.

- New Generation Airfoil (NGA), Mini Ribs, Air intake pockets (AIP) and 3D shaping of the individual cells optimize the airflow and have a stabilizing and performance-enhancing effect.

- Reduced line system for easy line sorting and less drag

P LHOTSE²

The Lhotse² is the second generation of our very successful EN-B wing in lightweight construction. It is based on the Kibo² and thanks to its light weight construction, it is the perfect companion for all H&F, bivouac, and travel adventures. 

The Lhotse² will amaze you in flight with its appealing, beautiful, precise handling and maneuverability. Additionally, the excellent climbing and performance will tempt you to fly more cross country. 

The lightweight design will impress you even more when you carry it on your shoulders.

What's new?

As with the Kibo², the Lhotse² has many new technical features. The negative 3D panel shaping invented by our designer Franta Pavlousek gives our light mid-B a clean leading edge. Using technology already proven successful with our 2-line models, we have improved the performance within the B class. 

To achieve this, the number of cells have been increased and the rods in the leading edge are slightly longer. Like all of the latest UP glider models, the seams of the mini ribs are hidden on the Lhotse². Compared to its predecessor, we were able to reduce the weight of our new lightweight glider between 100-200 grams. 

The Lhotse² will now be available in a fourth size for the lightweights among the glider pilots.

DriftAir

DriftAir, as its name suggests, is a wing for pilots preferring freestyle, dynamic PPG flying, those who want to fly slaloms, or just for people willing their cross-country to be fast and fun.

Design and purpose

DriftAir is a safe paraglider for well-qualified pilots, aiming at active recreation or moderate level of competing. Most of all, the DriftAir is ideally suited for multi-canopies formation flying, requiring dynamic manoeuvering and spectacular acceleration. It is a solid vehicle for covering the ground, too. And, with its agility it will prove great at slalom tasks, or just flying curves for pleasure.

It launches flawlessly and easy, smoothly rising up. Does not stay behind, even with trimmers set at slow and nil wind. In flight it remains stable, while demonstrating intuitive steering, agility and effective lift.

Reflex airfoil of DriftAir slightly varies depending on trim setting, yet the speed system can be safely used throughout entire trimmer range. When cutting through lift or turbulence the canopy stays over your head with only slight nicking, so it doesn’t require your constant attention.

Exceptionally wide choice of DriftAir’s sizes – as many as 7! – will allow each pilot to find precisely his optimal weight range.

Makalu 4

The new Makalu 4 is everything you ever dreamed of in the EN B class - it is SUPER stable, very easy and forgiving to fly, but has LOADS of FUN built in. 

Part of the FUN is the fact that you get such a reassuring, safety-conscious package all while the performance is so good - this wing won't let even your loftiest goals down, and its direct and sporty handling never becomes unsettling. 

It is literally built to explore on; explore the whole free-flying idea as well as explore in a geographical sense. 

There'll be schools out there who choose the Makalu 4 to teach on, and it is THE greatest tool for taking the first aerial steps out of school. 

You'll have FUN doing it.

Nucleon 4

The Nucleon 4 is a classic paramotor wing. 

It is characterized by a solid reflex, very easy launch, pleasant steering, good economy and maneuverability ideally suited to the line of recreational, cruise and sports wings.

Design and purpose

Nucleon 4 derives directly from the first reflex constructions that appeared in the world – Traper, Action, then ReAction. This pedigree was continued in several incarnations of the Nucleon, up to the current – fourth generation.

We focused in particular on combining the Nucleon WRC’s lateral stability with the agility and pleasant handling of the Nucleon XX. We also added the uncompromising stability of Reportair. Moreover, we managed to increase speed, load capacity, and make the Nucleon 4 lighter than all its predecessors.

Nucleon 4 was designed for intermediate pilots who have already solidly mastered the art of reflex wing flying and are familiar with their specific features. One of them is unique resistance to turbulence, and the only requirement for this legendary reflex safety is to ‘speed up’, meaning the release of trimmers and brakes with an optional pressing the speedbar, which can be used in any trimmer configuration.

A very easy launch, comfortable steering and a pleasant flare at landing are standard in our designs, but in the Nucleon 4 it has been even increased. We improved the flight economy as well.

The spectrum of operation is wide, from recreational and cross-country flying to classic paramotor competitions.

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.

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.
