Description
Skywalk SPIRIT: The Ultimate Alpine Lightweight Wing
The Skywalk SPIRIT was developed for pilots who live for high-altitude adventure. Designed with a focus on minimum weight and packing volume, this ultra-light wing is the perfect companion for Hike&Fly, Climb&Fly, and demanding alpine expeditions. At only 1.75 kg (size 75+), the SPIRIT can be packed into even the smallest backpacks without sacrificing safety or performance.
Versatile Performance for Every Goal
The SPIRIT offers a unique range of use depending on the chosen size and wing loading. Smaller sizes (75+ and 85+) are highly dynamic, building bank and momentum quickly—ideal for strong winds and experienced pilots looking for a "speed-style" descent. Larger sizes (105+ and 120) offer more stability and lift, making them suitable for thermal flying and even progressive entry into the sport for those using the paraglider as a descent tool after a mountaineering project.
Unmatched Alpine Handling
Launch behavior is critical in technical terrain, and the SPIRIT excels here. With a slight impulse, the canopy rises reliably even on small surfaces and creates lift quickly for short take-off runs. In the air, the wing is agile and responsive, providing direct feedback. Despite its weight, it features JET FLAPS technology to ensure high safety reserves near the stall point and Loops & Hooks on the top surface to help secure the wing on steep, slippery take-offs.
Key Features
- Ultra-Lightweight Design: Minimum packing volume and weight starting at just 1.75 kg.
- JET FLAPS: Patented technology for a wider speed range and safer slow-flight behavior.
- Shark Nose: Optimized profile for improved internal pressure and a solid flying feel.
- Loops & Hooks: Integrated loops on the leading edge allow the wing to be pinned down in difficult alpine terrain.
- 3D-Shaping & Mini-Ribs: Precision manufacturing for a clean canopy profile and reduced drag.
- Rigid Foil: Flexible nylon wires maintain leading edge shape for superior launch characteristics.
- Automatic Sand Release System: Trailing edge openings that allow debris to trickle out automatically.
