The RAPTOR

a new generation of Parakite

We’re thrilled to introduce you to the Raptor. Building this paraglider was a lot of fun for us. Like with all our wings, we put in all our knowledge and added some fresh ideas. The Raptor comes with improved risers, a thinner and optimized full-reflex profile, and a free-floating stabilizer. This helps cut down drag from the lines and canopy as much as possible, boosting its performance and making it great at flying against the wind. With rock-solid stability, a super-high sink rate, and amazing climbing power, the Raptor makes you feel like a real bird of prey.

We’ve also developed a system that lets you easily switch the risers from kite-specific risers to standard mountain or motor risers—no knots needed. This makes the Raptor not just perfect for parakiting, but also ideal as a mountain or motor paraglider.

unique features

All these things make the Raptor a super fun ride that you’ll love right away. Push the brake, and it shoots you into the sky like a rocket. Let the brake go, and you fully drop, and picking up incredible speed. All of this, combined with amazing stability—tested even in turbulent lee conditions—makes the Raptor the perfect wing for us.
