Sport EN-C

No frills, more thrills

The KAILASH offers demanding alpinists a minimalist and yet coherent overall package, where fun and also a bit of thrill are never neglected. Low weight (1.95 kilos / size 16) and a simultaneously robust material mix ensure balance in the backpack, just as in the air. The equally successful compromise between manoeuvrability and safety is reflected in the EN/LTF C classification, which is mild for a miniwing. This leaves room to test yourself.

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!

What's new?

In short: everything. Because behind the name TORRE lies UP's first 2-liner with EN/LTF C certification. The new airfoil of the wing and the reduced line setup minimize drag and maximize top speed and performance. Want to push the full gas and leave the others behind? No problem with TORRE. The glide ratio remains excellent across the entire speed range. As is typical for a 2-liner, turbulence can be handled very well by the pilot via the risers, allowing even the smallest updrafts to be converted into altitude. The stable canopy is very resistant to collapses and, even if they come, they are easy to solve for experienced pilots. This is where the safety reserve of the C-class comes into play. It also has winglets – a first for any UP glider in the range.

The winglets are easy to explain: they improve direction stability. This helps straight flight, especially accelerated. It also helps in spirals and, above all, when exiting them. Overall, TORRE is the even sportier alternative to our 2.5-liner TRANGO X. Both have the typical UP handling. Ultimately, personal preference is the deciding factor.

HELIOS RS

…the spirit of cross country!

The name HELIOS is a tribute to the sun, which is what makes cross-country flights and flying adventures possible in the first place.

Helios RS is the name of our new C-class lightweight performance glider. With the Helios RS we have addressed the dogma that more performance means a less comfortable flight. With its unique construction, lightweight no longer needs to mean there will be a sharp drop off in performance over time.

Even during its development phase, the XC all-rounder became our test pilots’ absolute favorite wing with its direct and precise handling.

Having a lightweight glider with the Helios RS level of performance, low pack volume, combined with incredible comfort will encourage you to experiment with alternative launch sites and new routes away from the beaten track. And should conditions ever become more demanding, the HELIOS RS is very easy to control for a glider in the C-class, thanks to the RAST system.

Where the AGERA RS is designed for fast and uncompromising gliding, the HELIOS RS is a totally new and uniquely designed glider. The precision tool in the box, with agile and precise handling, happy in all conditions it will deal calmly and confidently with difficult situations, temperamental thermals and strong turbulence making it the perfect lightweight glider for all your adventures.

LIBRA RS

...the game-changer!

Based on the successful and proven genes of our SPHERA RS, the LIBRA RS is a semi-light and easier-to-pilot version of our high-performance glider.

With an aspect ratio of 6.9 and a canopy weight starting from 3.7 kg, the LIBRA RS is one of the finest gliders in the new EN-C 2-Liner class. Despite our initial disbelief while reviewing the test flight results, due to them being so good, it is important to note that the LIBRA RS is designed for experienced Pilots who seek the highest performance levels in their flying equipment.

The LIBRA RS offers you maximum reliability and safety in the new EN-C 2-Liner league, allowing takeoffs and landings in difficult terrain, or when there is less-than-optimal wind conditions. During flight, RAST ensures high stability and precise tracking, guaranteeing fatigue-free flying over long distances even in demanding conditions.

Like its “big brother,” the SPHERA RS, the LIBRA RS provides maximum control and comfort for an unparalleled flying experience.

RAST for maximum control in every situation

High performance 2-liner with the safety of EN-C class

Semi-light,  compact design,

and a canopy weight starting from 3.7 kg

Who is the LIBRA RS for?

We developed the LIBRA RS for experienced adventure and XC pilots seeking the performance of a 2-liner, without compromising on the safety of the EN-C sports class. With its intelligent, semi-light, and compact design, the LIBRA RS is robust enough for extended hike & XC fly tours as well as daily use. RAST also provides maximum control in every situation, allowing you to make the most out of your flying day.

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.

Colt 2 Light
