The X-alps race is considered to be the hardest challenge in the paragliding world. Now this classic starts again – and with Vincent Sprüngli and Pal Takats two pilots rely on U-Turn gliders as their airline.
 
The event starts on July 19th in Salzburg. Flying or by foot, other options are excluded, the pilots have to get over the 818 km to Monaco. Sole requirement: They have to pass turnpoints. And these turnpoints are really demanding. Starting in Salzburg, the route leads to the Watzmann, Großglockner, Marmolada, Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and Mont Gros to Monaco.

The U Sport is now fully LTF 2-3 and EN-D certified in all sizes.

The bad weather in the alps delayed the certification progress a little bit, but now the U Sport has all Certifications in all sizes. For further information about the certification visit the Certification Center European Para Academy.

The unique and very well conceived Connect Reverse has generated unprecedented demand. We must therefore inform all of our customers that orders placed after 22.06.09 (+-) can probably only be filled from late September. We are in the course of doubling production, but this in itself requires some time, as we are also dependent on Deuter for this product.
It is definitely well worth your while to be patient. There is good reason why there is such great demand.

The Ozone range of gliders is the most complete and expansive in the world, with a wing (or two or more) for every pilot. Now, our range of harnesses is growing as well with the new addition of the Oxygen2.
This versatile harness is ideal for pilots of all abilities. It is lightweight, stable and responsive, and extraordinarily easy to get in and out of after launch and before landing. The Oxygen 2 is so comfortable and yet sensitive that the Ozone Test and Design Team has now made it their harness of choice for glider testing.

Plenty of mountain walkers, trekkers and pilots who travel already relish the HIKE’s qualities, and now the Thermik Magazine tester has been well and truly bowled over by this lightened wing.

Christian Besendorfer tested the ALPHA 4 HIKE 25 for some time, and if you read his test report you may not be able to resist the urge to try it out for yourself.
