As one of the most experienced pilots in the world, and possibly THE most experienced glider reviewer in the English-speaking press, Hugh Miller carries a certain punch when he goes to press with a wing review. Hugh took the UP Trango XC3 for a few outings...

The heat is on...

As Europe descends into winter gloom, so the Southern Hemisphere heats up - and along with the warming we see the UP XC Fever taking off. Polish XC hound Jarek Wieczorek is in Iquique chasing distance, and he was kind enough to send us a few words:

Kibo

A glider for everybody

With the new UP Kibo (EN B), UP puts a whole new product branch on the UP family tree

The ideal mid-range EN B glider, and a perfect all-rounder at heart, the UP Kibo is built to progress on – it is the perfect mix between a very safe and forgiving beginner's wing and a performance-and-XC paraglider, meaning it will teach its pilot exactly how performance gliders fly, but it will look after them while doing so. It sits comfortably between the new Makalu 4 and the new Summit XC4 in the UP model range.

    • Safe and easy to fly but with loads of real-air performance
    • New Generation Aerofoil (NGA) for a solid leading edge and great penetration in turbulence
    • Perfect stepping-stone for pilots wishing to progress in comfort and safety
    • Glide performance to make those big valley crossings in real conditions a breeze
    • Very stable even at top speed due to our Nylon Front Section Support system (FSS)
    • Precise, linear handling similar to the high- performance UP models
    • C-riser controllable
    • 2. generation Brakeline Tensioning System (BTS2) for better handling with less line consumption
    • Mini-rib canopy construction
    • Light and efficient speed system with Ronstantm pulleys
    • Double 3D panel shaping technology – less wrinkles, less drag
    • Half-moon shaped cell openings - maximum leading edge integrity, minimal drag
    • 4 sizes, covering hook-in weights from 65kgs to 130kgs

UP Team

UP is synonymous with free flight, having been at the forefront of development since 1972. With more than 40 years of history in the free-flying world, nobody can touch the heritage that UP has. UP was originally an acronym for Ultralight Products. Today, the brand name is simply UP International, and the mission is to build the highest performing yet easy paragliders in all performance categories.
