Actually, the Rock has already had a very successful pre-introduction at the Red bull Vertigo in August, Chrigel Maurer and Peter Neuenschwander could make the second place at that prestigious actor event. Introduction to the UP Rock: The UP Rock is based on the UP Trango leading Edge with fully opened air intakes at the centre and an increased amount of closed once closer to wing tip Special developed internal “Airflow-System” for a stabile “SAT” New flat arc for the perfekt “Helikopter” Reinforced Loops and Leading Edge for more safety All main lines in 2,15 mm size (Stearing Line 2,3 mm), all middle lines in 1,7 mm size, top lines in 1,1 mm.

We have worked closely with a select group of professional tandem pilots to create a wing according to their exact specifications (although performance is considerably better than needed for that particular purpose) and have managed to make a wing that is equally suited for daily professional use and for the performance-oriented hobby pilot wanting to double his fun in the air. The new Sherpa 2 is light and packs small, is easy to launch and flares to a complete stop, making each landing a pleasure for both pilot and passenger. The handling is light and well coordinated and the glider is stable at all speeds, providing good safety margins to the comfort of all involved. The Sherpa comes equipped with trimmers and covers a weight range of 130-220kgs. UPs' new Tandem passed the DHV certification and is ready to be ordered now! Sherpa 2 means user-friendliness at its best.   DHV test report     Kantega (DHV category 1-2) The UP Kantega closes the gap in between the UP Makalu and the UP Summit 2 as the performing intermediate in the 1-2 range. The extremely successful “Honeycomb-V-Tape System“, which was inserted for the first time a year ago in the UP Trango, gives the Kantega an excellent stability. The UP Kantega is one of the first gliders which fulfil the new more demanding DHV flight tests. The Handling is laid out agile by purpose. The new Intermediate addresses itself to ambitious beginners who, after training, quickly want to become better as well as to experienced pilots who don’t want to miss performance on discovery flights and at the same time appreciate large security reserves. UP Kantega - A completely newly constructed Intermediate for the upper DHV 1-2 level. DHV test reports: Kantega XS Kantega S Kantega M Kantega L   Summit 2 (DHV category 2) Handling, performance, and security - never has a glider had all three criteria set homogeneously in a relationship as with the new UP Summit 2. The proven „Honeycomb-V-Tape System“ was modified especially for the UP Summit 2 and used in connection with a new line geometry. This new Construction leads – in combination with a newly calculated airfoil – to a significant higher performance. The UP Summit also fulfils the new demanding DHV flight tests. „The best handling a UP glider ever had“, the UP test pilots all agreed: the UP Summit 2 sets a new milestone in handling. It does not surprise us, that the UP Summit 2 was tested more in the air than was required. - Flying the UP´s new performance Intermediate is simply addictive. The UP Summit 2 is aimed to experienced pilots, who above all want to appreciate a perfect handling. UP Summit 2 - the new constructed Intermediate (DHV 2) with a perfect handling, performance and security. DHV test reports: Summit 2 XS Summit 2, S Summit 2, M Summit 2, L   Targa (open class competition glider) This is the first choice for competition pilots. The UP R&D / Competition team has done a very good job improving the performance of the UP Targa compared to its successful predecessor, the UP Gambit C. Targa vs Gambit C; the Targa has 84 cells with seams on the inside, v-ribs, and an optimized leading edge which has been closed an additional 30 %, a newly developed trailing edge just to mention some main points. The result: is a glider with a fantastic glide and furthermore, the glider reaches easily a speed well over 60 km/h. The UP Targa is intended for very experienced league and competition pilots who participate in international competitions UP Targa - UP’s newest competition model – the first choice for many top competition pilots.
