Little Cloud Urubu Mk2: The Joy of Performance
Pure Versatility. Sharp Handling. Unmatched Peace of Mind.
The Urubu Mk2 represents the evolution of Little Cloud's premier XC wing. After six years of success with the original Urubu legacy, the Mk2 introduces modern aerodynamic refinements while preserving the playful "LittleCloudness" that pilots love. With a 57-cell construction and an unchanged aspect ratio of 6.15, the Urubu Mk2 strikes the perfect balance between high-end performance, lightweight compactness, and the intuitive handling required for ambitious cross-country adventures.
At Sky Riders, we recommend the Urubu Mk2 for experienced pilots looking for a performant yet versatile glider. Its legendary pitch stability makes it a reliable partner for active UK air or technical hike-and-fly missions in the mountains.
Key Innovations for the Mk2:
- Advanced Aerodynamics: A new airfoil profile provides outstanding stability and an incredible glide feeling, even when fully accelerated.
- Smart Design: Simple and efficient 3-line configuration ensures long-term trim stability and easier ground handling compared to complex 2-liner setups.
- Optimized Skin Tension: Redesigned internal structure and mini-ribs improve efficiency and limit collapse propagation in turbulent air.
- Lightweight Durability: Constructed with a mix of 20D top surface and 10D bottom surface fabric to ensure a light pack weight (starting at 3.35kg) without sacrificing longevity.
- Short Lines & Stability: Ultra-optimized line lengths make for easy take-offs in strong winds and a wing that remains communicative yet comfortable in turbulence.
- Kiterisers Compatible: 100% compatible with the LittleCloud Kiterisers system, allowing for specialized soaring and accelerated flight sensations.
