Taking on the challenge of succeeding the legendary MERU while increasing its maximum speed—that was the ambitious goal of Frantisek "Franta" Pavlousek and the UP Paragliders R&D team. Mission accomplished. With its 84 cells and a 6.9 aspect ratio, the MERU 2 (certified EN/LTF D) represents the pinnacle of performance for advanced pilots.
This new version incorporates several key innovations: nylon rods in the leading edge, top and bottom surfaces, a redesigned internal structure, optimized accelerator, and a clever mix of lightweight materials. It’s the synergy of these elements that makes the MERU 2 both a technical and pleasurable wing to fly.
"We significantly improved performance and top speed while preserving the safety and the legendary ease of handling of the MERU. That was the main challenge—and we succeeded!"
Franta Pavlousek, UP Designer
The MERU 2 pushes the limits of the D-class by combining higher top speed, improved glide, and enhanced stability. It maintains the precise handling that made the original famous, while integrating the latest developments in aerodynamics and materials. These internal improvements are felt from the first kilometers of flight.
True to the MERU spirit, the wing "naturally finds the best angle of attack." It remains instinctive to fly in both calm and demanding conditions. The C-handles offer precise, active control, perfectly matched with a minimalist and effective riser system.
The accelerator is smooth and comfortable to use—even during long transitions—thanks to ball-bearing pulleys. The stability in turbulent air is confidence-inspiring without compromising thermal responsiveness.
The MERU 2 is designed for experienced pilots with serious cross-country or competition ambitions. Whether you want to perform on XContest, break personal records, or simply fly farther and faster, it offers the ideal balance of raw performance and control.
Tested in a wide variety of conditions and configurations, the MERU 2 meets the highest expectations. Feedback from UP team pilots confirms it: this is a true EN D wing with the handling and performance of a 2-liner. Seasoned competitors will love it—and even pilots new to the D class will feel at home.
