Description
Welcome to the next generation of freeflight. Sky Riders is proud to offer the LittleCloud Fregate—a cutting-edge, high-performance parakite engineered explicitly for experienced pilots demanding more speed, high pitch stability, and an exceptionally wide wind range.
Whether you are soaring the rugged coastlines of the South West or launching an alpine hike-and-fly expedition across the UK, the Fregate delivers an unmatched combination of raw speed and precise, intuitive handling. It is built for pilots who want to expand their flying window without sacrificing the pure pleasure and security that LittleCloud is globally renowned for.
Why the LittleCloud Fregate?
- The Ultimate Parakite Experience: Blurs the line between high-efficiency paragliding and high-speed kite dynamics, offering a significant dive and fast acceleration.
- Revolutionary Hand-Controlled KiteRisers: Featuring a dyneema/Kevlar webbing blend and Ronstan Orbit blocks, the KiteRisers give you instantaneous, hand-controlled authority over your angle of attack. Adjust your speed and glider power on the fly.
- Unmatched Passive Safety: True to LittleCloud’s philosophy, performance gains are balanced with exceptional pitch stability. The wing resists shooting forward and behaves predictably in turbulent air.
- Optimised Ergonomics: Features a 3-position adjustable T-bar on the handles for smaller pilot profiles, marked in flashy red for immediate, high-visibility control.
