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."
Note: Pre-orders are now possible via UP dealers – delivery will start in January 2025.
Dena is our new EN-A + paraglider. It is an A-glider with very fine handling and outstanding performance in its class. Thanks to the use of technological achievements from the development of higher class paragliders, we have achieved a masterpiece that sets a new standard.
The new Makalu 4 is everything you ever dreamed of in the EN B class - it is SUPER stable, very easy and forgiving to fly, but has LOADS of FUN built in. Part of the FUN is the fact that you get such a reassuring, safety-conscious package all while the performance is so good - this wing won't let even your loftiest goals down, and its direct and sporty handling never becomes unsettling. It is literally built to explore on; explore the whole free-flying idea as well as explore in a geographical sense. There'll be schools out there who choose the Makalu 4 to teach on, and it is THE greatest tool for taking the first aerial steps out of school. You'll have FUN doing it,
A Makalu 3 at heart, only lighter – on your back as well as on your mind. Designed for the easy end of the EN B spectre, but with the para-alpinist in mind – launch, handling, landing, carrying – all as light'n easy as it gets. Sublime handling, nippy character, albeit with no twitchyness - and the performance of a much higher rated wing.
Built for pleasure in the easy end of the EN B class, the Makalu 3 instils confidence and inspires you to progress towards your free-flying goals. The handling is sublime, the character is sporty without being nervous and the performance is worthy of a much more demanding design.
