Paragliders

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.

K2-4 tandem

Simply share your passion!

UP K2⁴

UP is happy to introduce the fourth generation of our tandem paraglider, the K2⁴. Both professional and private pilots have always valued the K2 series. 

"It flies like a solo glider" is the response from tandem pilots around the world. A characteristic that we naturally retained in the K2⁴. 

To make the successful model even better, we focused on the launching properties, the weight, and the optimal mix of materials for long-term professional use.

What's new?

The K2-4 ist equipped with several new technical features. First, the risers mow have an attachment for big ears, and they are made of a combination of 25 and 20mm webbings for maximum strenght and weight spare. 

Next, the new Snaplock brake handles make for easy and quick handling during countless take-offs and landings on the K2-4. Although we still rely on a four-line system to sort the lines as easy as possible, the lines are brand new, robust, and durable lines from Edelrid. We selected this high-quality material wo withstand the rigors of long-term use as well as possible. 

The negative 3D shaping, which comes from UP's 2-line development, ensures a clean leading edge even in high-speed flight, causing a considerable increase in performance. Finally, the upper material, the leading edge to the 50% of the chord, is constructed using double-coated Everlast from Porcher.With this innovation, UP improved significantely K2 durability while reducing the overall weight of the K2-4 by 700 grams to 7.7 kilograms.

After years of continuous development and positive innovations, we are proud to bring a worthy sucessor with the K2-4.
