Skywalk PACE: The Ultimate Ultra-Light Descent Aid
The Skywalk PACE redefines what is possible in ultra-light aviation. Developed in collaboration with Jean-Baptiste Chandelier, this single-skin wing is designed for athletes who view a paraglider as a performance tool for the descent. With a weight starting at just 1.05 kg and an incredibly small packing volume, the PACE fits into any trail running vest or climbing pack, making it the perfect companion for ambitious "Fast & Light" projects.
Unrivaled Launch Behavior
In technical alpine terrain, the launch is often the most critical moment. The PACE launches almost by itself; a slight impulse via the harness is enough to bring the canopy overhead. It rises rapidly but stops reliably without overshooting, allowing for successful take-offs on the smallest, most difficult sites. With only a few steps, you are airborne and ready to enjoy a playful, intuitive flight experience.
Stability & The NUDGE System
Despite its minimal weight, the PACE offers exceptional inherent stability and high resistance to collapses. To solve the common "flare" challenge of single-skin wings, Skywalk developed the NUDGE system. This innovative feature generates extra lift during the landing flare by activating the C-risers at the end of the brake travel, ensuring a soft and controlled touchdown every time.
Key Features
- World’s Lightest EN-B: Full certification in a package starting at only 1.05 kg.
- NUDGE System: Improves flare characteristics for safer, smoother landings.
- Self-Inflating Leading Edge: A closed leading edge design that reduces weight while increasing speed and launch reliability.
- Mono Panel Design: Simplified cell structure in the rear section to minimize weight and pre-flight prep.
- 3D-Shaping & Rigid Foil: Precision engineering using Nitinol wires to maintain a perfect profile and form stability.
- Loops & Hooks: Integrated loops on the top surface to secure the wing on steep, slippery alpine slopes.
- Smart Link System: Color-coded riser seams (Red=Left, Blue=Right) for effortless setup.
