2.5-LINER | CELLS: 51 | ASPECT RATIO: 5.6 | WEIGHT: 2.9 KG (SIZE S) | CERTIFICATION: EN/LTF B

As a 2.5-liner hybrid, our ultra-light LHOTSE X offers the full potential of the B-Class for long distance flights - with an extremely small pack size and only 2.7 kilos in size XS. The finely tuned handling and plenty of speed make it the ideal companion for mountain-enthusiastic pilots who are stepping up from the A-Class as well as advanced pilots who value safety reserves. Incidentally, the LHOTSE X is particularly handy for hike & fly and traveling thanks to our perfectly fitting CompressSmart packsack.

Franta Pavlousek (lead developer): “Demanding flying conditions, hike & fly, long-distance travel... anyone who enjoys flying in new terrain should be able to rely on their paraglider all the more. It's practical that the LHOTSE X is a multi-talent. With a reduced line layout, lightweight yet proven material and handling that makes steering as intuitive as it is efficient."

• At UP, the “X” in the wing name stands for “cross” and therefore for hybrid 2.5 lines, which combine the best of the 2-line and 3-line designs
• Ultra-light fabric (Porcher Skytex 27 double-coated for top and bottom sail, Porcher Skytex 27 for the inner structure) with reinforcements where it makes sense and a small pack size
• Highest performance with large safety reserves at the same time
• Improved pitch stability
• Lively handling, new top speed and pleasant feedback in thermals
• Miniribs for an aerodynamically optimized trailing edge
• BTS (Brake Tension System) for the best possible thermal characteristics and handling
• Double 3D panel shaping & 3D negative panel shaping for optimum leading edge profile fidelity
• FSS (Front Section Support) & RSS (Rear Section Support) on top and bottom sail for high performance and stability in turbulence
• Lightweight HPR risers (High Performance Risers / Light) with the option of highly efficient “C” control

Note: Pre-orders are now possible via UP dealers – delivery will start in January 2025.

3-LINER | CELLS: 46| ASPECT RATIO: 5.3 | WEIGHT: 4.5 KG (SIZE XS) | CERTIFICATION: EN/LTF B

With the MAKALU 5, flying is simply fun! Like the popular MAKALU 4, its successor has everything pilots need to take full advantage of the low-B classification. Safe, simple and with an extra portion of potential for cross-country flights. Of course, the typical UP handling is also back at the start.

Christian Rönning, CEO: “After a short break in the MAKALU series, we now have the eagerly awaited continuation. This closes the gap in our product range in the low-B segment and once again offers the many fans of the MAKALU a state-of-the-art paraglider - naturally including the popular handling typical of the UP."

• Higher performance than its predecessor, yet just as safe and easy to fly
• 3-line concept with color coding of the line levels for easy sorting before take-off
• Improved riser geometry for efficient use of the speed system and a higher top speed
• NGA (New Generation Airfoils) designed for maximum stability combined with best performance
• AIP (Air Intake Pockets) on the lower leading edge help to keep the shape of the air intake accurate at all times, especially during accelerated flight
• FSS (Front Section Support) for a perfectly defined leading edge. This brings advantages in terms of increased performance, weight saving and ease of packing
• Mini-ribs and BTS (Brake Tension System) on the trailing edge for an aerodynamically optimized profile
• Double 3D shaping reduces creases in the fabric and increases performance
• Practical Snaplock magnets for attaching the brake levers
• 5 sizes - XS, S, SM, M and L - covering a weight range of 58-130kg

3-LINER | CELLS: 42 | ASPECT RATIO: 4.9 | WEIGHT: 4.3 KG (SIZE XS) | CERTIFICATION: EN/LTF A

Safe, simple and yet excellently maneuverable - with the RIMO 2 you get a real all-rounder for training and a relaxed start to your paragliding adventure. High passive safety combined with a new level of development characterize the RIMO 2 as the latest generation mid-A wing. Roll stability and top speed have been further improved compared to the previous model. A newly developed mix of materials ensures robustness combined with moderate weight and a handy pack size. This makes getting into flying fun!

• New high-strength fabric for the upper sail: Dominico D 30 combined with Porcher Skytex 38 HF for the cells
• NGA (New Generation Airfoils) for maximum stability combined with best performance
• BTS (Brake Tension System) for the best possible thermal properties
• Double 3D panel shaping for optimum leading edge profile fidelity
• AIP (Air Intake Pockets) for a clean air intake on the underside of the sail to improve glide and accelerated flight behavior
• FSS (Front Section Support) on the upper sail for high performance and stability in turbulence
• OLS (Optimized Line Scheme) for low line drag and high stability with low hang-up tendency
• New colors

For all of you who are already getting your feet wet in anticipation of the upcoming cross-country season, here's some inspiration: UP team pilot Julian Lange treated himself to a sightseeing flight of the finest kind around Lake Chiemsee in 2023 with an FAI triangle over 77 km! The best part: There's a video!

Julian writes: "I'm taking you on a 77 km FAI triangle in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps on my UP Trango X. On 24 June 2023 at 12:18 I took off from Hochries and flew once around the Chiemsee with the northernmost point in Altenmarkt. Have fun watching!"
