Mana 2
Easy & light
The MANA 2 is, as its name suggests, the second generation of our ultra-light fun-guarantor. It is extremely versatile and its tiny pack size and light weight make the MANA 2 the best companion for all kinds of adventures.
LINES: 3
CELLS: 33
ASPECT RATIO: 4.9
WEIGHT: 2.5 KG (SIZE 21)
CERTIFICATION: EN/LTF A
Whats new?
The MANA 2 comes standard with our tried and tested 12mm Kevlar riser and popular SnapLock brake handles. As an orientation aid, we have labelled the different levels of the riser, which is helpful for the novice pilot and is also a safety plus after strenuous ascents during Hike&Fly, in case the stress does increase a little before take-off. Optionally, the MANA 2 can also be ordered with light risers. This is a riser made of Dynema material, which of course withstands the same loads. In this version, the MANA 2 saves a whole 150-160gr (depending on size) in total weight compared to its predecessor! With the new Snaplock technology, we were able to realize your wish for a better fastening option for the brake grips. The mix of magnet and push button combines the advantages of both. Thanks to Snaplock, weakening magnets are a thing of the past. We have also succeeded in improving the general glide performance, the speed using the speed bar and the glide against the wind! We have achieved this with various improvements to the airfoil, such as small reinforcements in the form of 10 cm long rods in the center of the cell at the leading edge. This results in a glider that glides cleanly through the air and even in accelerated flight remains the airfoil under tension and glides through the air better than before.
How light is the MANA 2?
The MANA 2 is one of the lightest gliders in its class but intentionally not "the lightest"! In short: 2.5 kilo in size 21. With the improved Porcher Skytex 27 Classic II, the latest double-coated lightweight fabric from the world market leader, we have selected a material that is up to three times more durable than conventional 27g materials. With the strategic mix of 32g Skytex and 27g Classic II, the MANA 2 is now well equipped to show great (low) porosity values even after many hours of flying! When it comes to the lines used, the same concept comes into play; light, efficient, but robust! The reduced line system used is made up of sheathed Edelried Dyneema main lines and unsheathed Edelried Aramid gallery lines, these two types of lines work optimally together to keep your glider in perfect trim long term.
Who is the MANA 2 made for?
Like its predecessor, the MANA 2 remains an all-rounder. For Hike&Fly or just because you love the advantages of light gliders, you will surely love your MANA 2!
A-Class: The MANA2 is ideally suited as a training wing or for safety-conscious experienced pilots. Thanks to the lightweight materials and finely tuned construction, the MANA 2 is an absolute take-off wonder! In the air, the MANA 2 shines with its agile and with its easy and safe handing. It curves playfully in the thermals and only stops again when you are at the cloud base. It can be turned super tightly as well as beautifully flat and thus lets you climb perfectly in different conditions. The tiny pack size and low weight will be of particular benefit to you on your hike & fly adventures! Thanks to the greatly improved glide performance, nothing stands in your way when you want to leave your home mountain for your first cross country flights!
The sizes 23, 25, 27 have an extended weight range with the a LTF/EN-A rating.
B-Class: The MANA 2 in the size 21 has an extended weight range with the a LTF/EN-B rating. Due to the extended weight range, the 21 size can also be used in partnerships or friendships by pilots with different weight ranges. One flying it as A glider the ENA certified 55-86 weigh range, the other in the slightly more dynamic ENB range 86-100, for example for for hike & fly.
Check the tech data for detailed information.
How does it fly?
The color-coded line levels are noticeable as soon as the glider is laid out - this is very practical when preparing for take-off, but also later in the air. With the labels for the different line levels, it is easier for the pilot to recognize the correct riser for maneuvers. In the air, the MANA 2 is a lot of fun with dynamic, yet beginner-friendly handling. Starting, thermalling, going on glide and flaring while landing are all no problem with the improved performance of the MANA 2. Overall, the MANA 2 is a great wing to get started with paragliding and the first hike and fly adventures.
What sizes and colors are available?
The MANA 2 is available in 4 sizes, cobvering a weight range from 55-130 kg. With 3 different serial colors there should be something for every taste - and if not, we are happy to offer speical colors via our color configurator.

SUMMIT X
The horizon is not enough
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!

UP BACKPACK
A TALLER, SLEEKER, MORE COMFORTABLE PACK
The new wings, with all their complex internal battens, are much longer when packed than they were just a few years ago.
We have been busy making a backpack that reflects that change, and are proud of the new UP glider backpack! It is tall enough to accomodate your lovingly packed performance UP wing AND your bulky comp harness, it is much more comfortable to carry due to a better load distribution, and with heavy-duty YKK zippers and triple-reinforced sewing it is strong enough to last.
Plus it is almost 500g lighter than the previous model!
The new bag comes in M and L. The M size is for beginner and intermediate wings/pilots with normal-sized gliders and harnesses, whereas the L size is for the performance-oriented gliders/pilots carrying more kit and larger harnesses.
The M size holds 140l and weighs 1230g, while the L size holds 175l and weighs 1330g.
The M size is included with deliveries of Ascent 4's, Dena, Makalu 4's, and Kibo², and Summit XC4's in XS, and Trango X-Race in S.
The L size is included as standard with Summit XC4 and Trango X-Races in all other sizes as well as for Meru and Guru. When you order a new UP wing you may ask to have the standard size replaced by the other one, for a small surcharge.
Please note that we cannot change the backpack for you after you have received your new wing - but you are always welcome to purchase a supplementary pack from your UP dealer.
