In order to tow launch safely the tow force should apply at the very centre of the system, i.e. at the connection point of the harness/glider. The UP Tow Adapter is designed to do precisely that.
The UP motor risers may even be used for free flight. Usable with any wing sporting a 4-riser line layout, they come with trimmers to compensate for prop torque or just to travel faster. Note that with most wings the certification may be voided when mounting these risers; if in doubt consult your local dealer.
The UP 2-step speed bar is a useful "standard" speed bar for most wings.
Three steps accelerator for more speed. Easily reachable. Made of a durable and lightweight steel wire and aluminium combination.
Performance wings with longer speed system travel may need a little extra reach in order to allow the pilot use of the full speed range – the 3-step speed bar is made for that! It is particularly suited for use inside pod harnesses, and has a small loop at the bottom for a bungy cord to connect it to the foot plate inside the pod.
Modern classic, a bag made of the best materials. With many clever little details.
Pilots who travel are well aware that getting all their kit on board planes can sometimes be a challenge. The UP Travel bag is designed to make life easier for them. The travel bag is intended as a carry-on bag and holds all your heavies as well as clothing for a good week out flying.

The Parasleeve² is designed so that it may be used with ALL UP wings, and allows you to fold the "cigar" in several different ways once the bag is zipped closed. If you like to separate the wing from the harness when packing there's an integrated riser compartment in there for you, and if you don't well rest assured that the zipper is bidirectional so that you can let the lines out at the bottom. We're making it in three different sizes to accomodate all wing sizes, and we're happy to say that the M size weighs only 460g. There are large mesh panels to allow your wing to breathe while stored.
The Parasleeve² is included with Summit X series, Trango X series, Meru, Guru wings, and can be ordered as an accessory for all other wings at the same time.

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.
Please note: The backpack is not included with our paragliders. It can be ordered as an optional extra.
The Alpine is UP's new reversible harness, made for pilots for whom, say, a Nanga is just way over the top heavy and bulky. By building the harness into the paraglider backpack the designers have accomplished something of a Columbus' egg in that the main achilles heel of lightweight harnesses (passive safety) has been fixed without adding weight or bulk to the total package - even with a super lightweight kit you'd still need the backpack to carry it in, so why not put it to good use?
