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.

14 days for return
Rear-riser control system, to work the AOA independently left and right, and keep the speed bar at pulley-to-pulley level even through turbulence
New Generation "Shark nose" Aerofoil
Double 3D panel shaping
Leading Edge 3D negative panel shaping for a cleaner and stiffer leading edge
UP low-drag line attachment points on the canopy
Mini ribs along trailing edge
Upper and lower skin rods for collapse resistance
Long FSS (Front Section Support system) long rods
BTS brake tensioning system
Precise design of risers with different accelerator travel of central and external parts of the wing
Unsheeted lines of low diameter to reduced line drag
Swept back wingtips for better handling and improved climbing
Controlling the MERU with the B-Risers is intuitive, and effective, allowing the pilot to keep the speed-bar engaged with confidence, arriving at the next thermal higher and faster.
The speed-bar pressure is light allowing for less fatigue, and longer flying days.
Durable, lightweight materials combined with an intricate design make the MERU our most sophisticated glider.
We have been designing and revising our two-liner prototypes for years, patiently working to produce the best possible XC/competition glider, its finally here, the MERU.
