An Ultra-Light Paraglider to Explore Every Aspect of Flying
Designed to follow you everywhere, this ultra-light paragliding wing stands out for its exceptional versatility. With a highly compact packing volume and a featherlight weight, it fits into any hike-and-fly backpack while offering a fun and safe flying experience. Its lightness not only makes carrying easier but also facilitates takeoff in various conditions, contributing to optimal in-flight safety.
Thanks to cutting-edge aerodynamics, enhanced with mini-ribs, air intakes, and refined 3D shaping, it delivers an excellent balance between stability, handling, and glide performance. The lightweight line setup also reduces drag and makes installation quick and clear—even after a steep hike.
Key Innovations and Improvements
- 12 mm Kevlar risers: strong, precise, and included as standard.
- Visual markings on risers: ensure safer takeoff, even when tired.
- SnapLock handles: innovative hybrid magnetic/press-button system, more reliable than standard magnets.
- Redesigned profile for improved glide: better penetration and smooth behavior, even when accelerated.
- Targeted internal reinforcements: especially along the leading edge for enhanced stability.
Materials Chosen for Durability
This wing combines lightness and durability thanks to the use of Porcher Skytex 27 Classic II — a new-generation double-coated fabric, three times more resistant than standard 27g fabrics. The most stressed areas are reinforced with Skytex 32g.
The mixed line setup reflects the same philosophy: light yet strong. Main lines are sheathed Dyneema, while secondary lines use unsheathed Aramid for long-lasting and precise trim.
Smooth and Engaging In-Flight Behavior
Optimized for superior glide and excellent wind penetration, this paragliding wing remains stable, even in accelerated flight. 10 cm central reinforcements along the leading edge maintain the profile shape and prevent deformation. The result: smooth gliding, perfect for transitions and lift alike.
A Wing Designed for Hike & Fly… and More
Designed with mountain flying in mind, this wing will please both beginners and experienced paragliders looking for comfort, safety, and performance.
- Class A: ideal for training or safety-conscious pilots. Its forgiving behavior and intuitive handling make it easy to enjoy thermals—whether turning flat or tight depending on conditions.
- Class B (size 21): with a certified extended weight range, this size offers extra dynamism for experienced mountain pilots.
Its compactness and easy takeoff make it the perfect ally for your next adventures. It also opens the door to first cross-country flights—without changing wings.
