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.

THE DELIGHT OF FREE FLIGHT

We are introducing the new Kibo² which comes as the successor of the very successful intermediate glider, the Kibo.

All sorts of technical refinements have been implemented, which makes our hybrid three liner a fun to fly glider with decent performance and high passive safety. Besides the improved pitch stability, the handling is more agile now, just perfect to use the upwind in most efficient way. 

Of course, the Kibo² retains the excellent feedback and comfort of its predecessor, making it the ideal wing even for demanding conditions.

Orca 5

Orca 5 is a universal tandem of the EN B class with excellent performance. It takes off with ease, is easy and precise in steering, complete with smooth landing. It provides the highest passive safety level, with glide ratio similar to single-seaters.

This is the first tandem with the LE3D technology applied!

Design and purpose

The wing is designed primarily for free flying with a passenger, but it will also prove its worth when powered by a paramotor – either foot-launched, or with a light paramotor trolley.

In the four-row canopy with stiffening cores (Dudek Flexi Edge technology) we have used our latest system of additional cuts on the upper surface of the leading edge – LE3D (Leading Edge 3D). The surface of the cells in these areas now consists of three longish elements instead of one.

Additional cuts minimize fabric wrinkling and more accurately reflect the designed shape of the aerodynamic profile in the crucial zones, where most lift is generated.

Additional LE3D cuts minimize fabric wrinkling and more accurately reflect the designed shape of the aerodynamic profile in crucial zones where most lift is generated. At the same time drag is minimised; all in all the glide ratio of the wing is improved.

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.

KANGRI

OUTSTANDING LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMER

We positioned the Kangri at the top end of the B-category on purpose. Our vision, to create a lightweight glider with the best possible glide and speed on bar is setting a new benchmark in its class. 

The uncompromising design of the Kangri exceeds the expectations of ambitious XC-pilots, while keeping the benefits of a B-glider in terms of comfort and safety.

Real lightweight

Due to its lightweight construction, the Kangri weighs only 3.7 kg in its smallest size. The material mix of 32g and 27g Porcher Skytex as well as the sophisticated inner life are not only light but also durable. With the intelligent mix of Aramid- and Dynema-lines, our three-liner offers a long-lasting, lightweight setup. 

The small packing size and minimal weight enables you to reach even the most remote areas of our beautiful planet. Enjoy your adventures!

INCREDIBLY VERSATILE

Our new Mana is ultra-light, extremely versatile and fun to fly. The Mana is the right wing for thermal flying, hike&fly adventures as well as dynamic flying.

With its great range of applications and tiny pack size as well as its light weight, the Mana is also perfect suitable to be part in all of your journeys.

The very light canopy has an extremely simple takeoff behavior and its passive safety during the flight is outstanding. Sure it is super light to carry and has a tiny packing size.

New generation airfoil (NGA), Mini Ribs, Air intake pockets (AIP) as well as 3D shaping, helps to optimize the airstream and therefore result in a more stable and performance-enhancing style of flying.

Reduced Lineset make pre-flight line checks easier and decrease drag, allowing for more performance.

Five different glider sizes, from 50 to 125 kg, help to ensure the ideal relationship between pilot weight and glider size.

The swept-back wingtips reduce the drag and allow the glider to perform better.

Brake Tensioning System: Trailing edge tension is good for handling and safety, but influences performance negatively. With BTS the tension is only there when you need it

Front Section Support system (FSS) Nylon battens in the leading edge - a lifetime of perfect leading edge shape

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!

UP DENA

Dena is our new EN-A + paraglider. It is an A-glider with very fine handling and outstanding performance in its class. 

Thanks to the use of technological achievements from the development of higher class paragliders, we have achieved a masterpiece that sets a new standard.

What's new?

With the new Dena, we set the highest standards and use the best materials such as the durable Skytext Everlast in the leading edge. 

The new UP glider now uses its own negative 3D panel shaping in the A-Class. 

This ensures a clean leading edge even in accelerated flight, contributes to a considerable increase in performance, and it looks beautiful. 

Since the development of our bestseller Meru from the competitive class, this technological advance has been a pioneer in paraglider development. In the Dena, we also use other features from the high-performance design that have been specifically optimized for the A-Class. These include uncovered gallery lines, 50 cells, optimized rod length in the leading edge, shark nose, hidden seams on the mini-ribs, 12mm wide risers, and reduced-resistance wingtips.

Optic 2 Light

Optic 2 Light is a light three-row cross-country/recreational paraglider of 5,50 aspect ratio and 51 cells. 

It is recommended for pilots who want to fly a lot and grow, capitalizing on its outstanding performance. 

The paraglider offers EN/LTF B class safety, confirmed by according certificates.

The canopy structure is reinforced with rigid rods (Flexi Edge Technology) as well as mini-ribs on the trailing edge, truly representing, smoothing and stabilizing the airfoil at all speeds. Another solution improving both the aerodynamics and stability is the Shark Nose. Stabilo has been modified too.

All these technologies come from the racing canopies and combined with 3-row rigging give the paraglider large passive safety margin and exceptional aerodynamic performance.

MITO

TWIN RS 2

…passionate about tandem flying!

Bringing passion and joy to something will produce the best results.

Our new TWIN RS 2 was developed by an experienced team of professional tandem pilots. Their goal was to create a completely reliable piece of equipment for daily use, which can be relied on 100% from launch through to landing.

We have optimised our tried and tested RAST system specifically for the particular demands of tandem flying.

It helps you deal confidently with even challenging situations and gives your passenger a safe and unforgettable flying experience.

And because we believe that work should also be fun, the TWIN RS 2 is equipped with playful and effortless handling, which guarantees good times.

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.

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.

ASCENT 4

CERTAINLY A PLEASURE FOR THE LONG RUN

While constructing the new Ascent 4 our team focused on the thought, that flying should be great fun. Only pilots who feel save while flying will experience long-term pleasure. 

The Ascent4 combines the high level of security of a typical EN-A glider with a good portion of fun to let the pilot thrive on safety and comfort.

Due to the nice handling and the well-balanced combination of performance and agility, the Ascent 4 is not only a beginner glider but also the right partner for experienced, safety driven pilots.

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).
