Thanks to a slightly softer canopy, UP announces a wing that’s a little easier to fly than its predecessor. With a moderate aspect ratio \u2013 5.7 points, 4.3 projected – and 53 cell chambers for their M size, in UP’s own words, “the Kibo\u00b2 is direct on brake and very agile without being nervous”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioned in the middle\nB-segment, the wing is aimed at pilots who are stepping up from a Class A\nglider as well as for advanced, safety conscious and frequent pilots who enjoy\nthe experience of extended XC flights in different locations with more climbing\nabilities and a decent performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The manufacturer has incorporated the speed system of the Trango for its eficiency and the know-how from their high performance developments, Meru and Guru. 3-D positive and negative panel shaping were used to provide the Kibo 2 with a low drag leading edge. The new Snaplock is also presented as the solution to the magnet\/popper attachment of the brake handles.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kibo 2 counts with EN B certification in the sizes S\/M, M and L; the certification of size S is still pending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
