Hybrid SUMMIT X holds its own against 2-liners

Victor Usanov (UP distributor in Estonia) outperformed a number of two-liners at the SRS GIN in St. Andre and came in 7th place (out of 122) shortly behind Pal Takats with his SUMMIT X. This shows what our 2.5-liner SUMMIT X (EN/LTF B) can do in the right hands. Congratulations, Victor!

Review of KAILASH (EN/LTF C) in Thermik Magazine

Read the detailed test of our small, fast mountaineering wing KAILASH in the 10/2024 issue of Thermik Magazine. As a small taster, we quote part of the conclusion here and say a big thank you to Team Thermik:


‘(...) The sensationally small pack size and low weight, together with the fun factor, result in a combination that a hike-and-fly pilot could only dream of. Mountain enthusiasts should definitely put the KAILASH on their shortlist.’
