PIXEL LIGHT

PIXEL LIGHT is built for the gnarliest lines, those reachable only by true hike and fly style. Experience the feather-light feel of Porcher Sport Skytex 27 and the compactness of a simple canopy, delivering even better characteristics than the standard PIXEL. Its exceptional feature is the super-fast inflation during takeoff, making it ideal for technical and exposed mountain launches. PIXEL LIGHT shares the same design as the classic PIXEL, but with lighter fabric.

The risers are identical to the certified ones from the original PIXEL, but you can choose our light risers, which come with a company load test and confirmation of airworthiness by our pilots. This is a simplified version designed directly for the PIXEL LIGHT concept. These risers stand out for their compactness, minimal weight, and clean design without redundancies. Compared to the original version, they also feature a smaller rollercam, and to achieve even lower weight and maximum packability, we have completely omitted the steering handle on the C-row. The result is risers in a clean style where simplicity clearly wins.

Elevate your adventures with PIXEL LIGHT, the powerful speed machine from our factory. Meticulously designed for both experienced pilots and enthusiastic beginners. The development of PIXEL LIGHT was engineered with the main intention: to deliver an unmatched flying experience that excites and engages pilots of all levels.

PIXEL LIGHT easy take-off and landing characteristics, coupled with a smooth and powerful flare, make every flight as enjoyable as it is exhilarating.

With larger sizes such as 15 and 17, we have targeted beginners with less aggressive handling, less roll and more stability and comfort for an easier introduction to the world of speedflying.

More experienced pilots require much more roll, more dive in turns, more precise and responsive handling and therefore better manoeuvrability in all flight regimes.  This is why the smaller sizes are not simply scaled down; they are designed and tuned to meet the high demands of expert pilots looking for the sickest lines.

Experience the thrill, freedom and unmatched performance of the PIXEL LIGHT. Sky Paragliders invites you to redefine your speedflying journey.

Why pilots love the PIXEL LIGHT?

• Designed for beginners as well: The PIXEL LIGHT features a pleasantly long brake travel and a highly predictable stall point. Progressive brake pressure helps novice pilots build essential confidence.
• Stability in turbulence: The secure construction and specialized wing profile ensure exceptional stability, enhancing comfort during flights in turbulent conditions.
• Easy takeoffs and landings: The PIXEL LIGHT launches exceptionally well and dynamically, even without using the A-lines. During landing, it bleeds energy smoothly, making the flare intuitive.
• Advanced B/C system: The two-pulley system ensures efficient wing control without unnecessary energy loss. It is highly precise, providing a strong sense of confidence when flying close to the terrain.
• Rollercam®: The unique self-locking buckle used in our trim system ensures a very smooth webbing feed. The webbing does not jam in the buckle, allowing for easy and, most importantly, symmetrical trim adjustment.
• Optional light risers: The wing comes standard with classic risers, but for maximum weight savings, you can opt for a simplified version. It features a smaller kameta, a clean minimalist design without C-handles, and significant weight reduction right in line with the PIXEL LIGHT concept.
• Material performance and lightness: Lightweight fabric delivers better performance and lower weight, making it the clear choice for hike and speed-fly.

Standa Klikar designer:

Our goal was to design a speedwing with an extensive speed range that allows for effective use of the brakes across their whole range. Pixel pilots appreciate sufficient lift during takeoff after small brake input. The use of short takeoff runways is often a premise for successful launch in the mountains. This is possible by positioning the pilot closer to the canopy, resulting in shorter line lengths.

Thanks to its unique profile and tuned tension, the Pixel dives forward after releasing the brakes, a feature that is highly sought after among speedgliders and highly appreciated by pilots.

Artoosh Ghafourian test pilot:

Easy inflation and airborne give you the feeling how easy is to fly with Pixel, Perhaps Pixel is one the most easy speed wing to fly, but Please be aware that its still speed wing which require the advance piloting, it’s a bit faster then other speed wings in same category with deeper dive and sensitive brakes, with B/C system its give very easy control on your glide, when you need to reduce your sink and fly slower without touching the brake, what I really like about the Pixel is landing, long swoop plus a good lift on brake to make smooth landing.
