UP Meru 2

The UP Meru 2 is a two-line EN D paraglider designed for experienced pilots with ambitious cross-country goals. It’s known for its performance, precise handling, and stability, pushing the boundaries of the D-class with increased top speed and glide ratio. It’s intended to offer a responsive and intuitive flying experience, allowing pilots to confidently explore their limits.

Key Features and Design Elements:
Two-line design:
The Meru 2 utilizes a two-line system, a design choice that often translates to higher performance and efficiency.

EN/LTF D certification:
This certification indicates the glider is intended for advanced pilots and is suitable for cross-country flying.

Improved performance:
The Meru 2 is designed to be faster and more efficient than its predecessor, the original Meru.

Enhanced stability:
The glider is designed to maintain stability even in demanding conditions, offering a sense of security for pilots.

Precise handling:
The Meru 2 provides precise and intuitive handling, allowing pilots to feel connected to the glider and the air.

C-handles:
The risers feature C-handles, allowing for efficient control and adjustment of the glider’s angle of attack.

Shark nose:
The glider incorporates a new generation “Shark Nose” design, developed with the help of CFD analysis, to optimize the leading edge profile.

Advanced construction:
The Meru 2 features a well-thought-out mix of materials, including long rods on the leading edge and upper/lower surfaces, and mini-ribs on the trailing edge for an aerodynamically optimized profile.

Multiple sizes:
The Meru 2 is available in four sizes, including a new size S, to accommodate a range of pilot weights.

Easy inflation and launch:
The glider is designed for easy inflation and smooth launches, even in light wind conditions.

Pilot Feedback:
Reviewers have noted the Meru 2’s comfortable handling in moderate air and its agile nature.

Some have mentioned that it requires more active piloting than a 2-liner C-class glider, particularly in stronger air and edgy thermals.

The brake pressure is described as medium, with a responsive recovery when the brakes are released.

The speed system is reported to be easy to operate with ball-bearing pulleys.

While the Meru 2 provides excellent feedback from the canopy, some users have noted that it requires good pilot control in strong air.

In summary, the UP Meru 2 is a high-performance paraglider that offers a blend of speed, stability, and precise handling, making it a suitable choice for experienced pilots seeking to push their cross-country flying limits.
