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.

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.

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.

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.

RIMO

Get started!

MAXIMUM FUN RIGHT FROM THE START

For a paraglider pilot, the first wing is probably the most important. On the one hand, it should be safe and simple. On the other hand, it should also be agile, fun, and the best possible entry into the world of free-flying. When developing the Rimo, the focus was balanced between simplicity and sophisticated technological features. 

Our new mid-A wing is a combination of forgiving handling, high passive safety, and just the right amount of maneuverability and performance for maximum fun right from the start!

ARCUS 2 RS

…experience your next level!

Achieving new levels of flying without overreaching yourself – that was precisely our goal in developing the ARCUS 2 RS.

The ARCUS 2 RS is based on the very successful and proven NYOS RS. 

With a little less aspect ratio, a new, resilient material mix and a lot of attention to detail, we have completely revised the design and adapted it to pilots who feel most comfortable in the mid-B segment. 

With a full 57 cells, the elegant wing already visually underlines its performance claim, but the compact flight feeling immediately conveys familiarity with a high feel-good factor and promises pure flying fun.

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.

WINNING PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING

We designed the MERU for record breaking cross country flights, and top-level competitions. 

An aspect ratio of 6.9 combined with a sophisticated two-liner construction make the MERU the perfect glider for expert pilots to get the most out of their flying day. 

The MERU has the handling that UP is known for; direct, sharp and fun to fly. 

The MERU’s agility and communication mean that the pilot will find the thermal faster, and climb more efficiently. 

Complex internal structure combined with two-liner pitch control make the MERU very stable at speed, with awesome performance into a headwind.

While flying it you feel that every little piece of lift is converted into height, while the glider searches out more lift. 

With optimized attachment points, 84 cells, and a super clean leading edge the MERU is a true thermal surfer.

2020 edition: This model is now also equipped with our popular snap-lock break handle as well as our C-steering handles.

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.

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.

Cabrio

The Cabrio is a wing dedicated for carrying considerable loads. It's ideal for two-seater trikes, but equally well functions as one-seater trike wing and a foot launched PPG tandem. It's a tandem wing both for professionals and leisure pilots. 

The Cabrio features easy launch, precise steering and highest level of passive safety, while retaining glide ratio of single-seaters.

Design and purpose

The Cabrio is our first design originally dedicated for paramotor tandems, especially heavier two-seater trikes (PPGG).

Earlier we were simply adjusting already existing wings for heavier loads, resulting in “Cabrio” versions of the original designs. Now, seeing the ever growing number of paramotor tandem enthusiasts, we’ve created the real CABRIO – not an add-on for other designs, but a truly uncompromising paraglider, from the onset created to fulfill specific needs of the PL2 pilots

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
