Description
PI 4 ULS: Light Versatility Reimagined
The PI 4 ULS is the fourth generation of the world’s most successful lightweight paraglider series. Built on the Ultra Lightweight Structure (ULS) philosophy, it offers a unique combination of minimal weight, maximum fun, and impressive performance. Whether you are a beginner looking for a safe thermal wing or an expert climber seeking a high-speed descent tool, the PI 4 ULS is the ultimate companion.
One Wing, Three Personalities
The character of the PI 4 ULS changes depending on its wing loading, making it three gliders in one:
- Thermal Range (Low Loading): Easy to fly with maximum passive safety. Perfect for beginners and leisure pilots who want to stay up in the thermals.
- Hike & Fly Range (Mid Loading): The ideal compromise. Dynamic and fun for the descent after a long hike, while remaining manageable in a wide range of conditions.
- Mini Wing Range (High Loading): A high-speed action wing. Designed for experienced pilots seeking agility and "Climb & Fly" performance.
Key Technical Features
- Extreme Lightness: Starting at just 1.65 kg (Size 14), it is lighter than ever before.
- Advanced Material Mix: High-end Nitinol Wires in all sizes ensure a compact pack volume and a crease-free leading edge.
- Premium Lines: Equipped with unsheathed Edelrid Pro Dry lines—color-coded, length-stable, and 60% more water-repellent.
- Continuous Sizing: Now available in 7 sizes (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26) with 2m² increments for the perfect fit.
- Holding Pin Loops: New loops on the top surface allow for "Holding Pins" to prevent the glider from sliding on steep or snowy take-offs.
