NEO RACE UP

The RACE UP, while remaining affordable, offers everything you need to perform in the ultralight category:

• Ultra-thin construction
• Aerodynamic fairing
• Aerodynamic jacket
• Integrated reserve container
• Magnetic closure
• 2.22 kg

NEO focused on two key elements:

1. The 8 cm NEO Koroyd protection allows for a slimmer harness and a smaller aerodynamic profile, thereby improving dynamic efficiency.

2. The fairing is impressively large: it starts at the top of the pilot’s head and is long enough to allow air to flow cleanly and minimize turbulence. Only with this size does the fairing provide a truly effective aerodynamic solution, beyond a mere marketing gimmick.

The 3D NEO seat has built its reputation with the Suspender and Stay Up generations. It is renowned for its exceptional comfort, precise fit thanks to its 3D shape, and high precision in flight.

The Race Up fully embodies this tradition. Its seat has been further improved so that the pilot can immediately find their ideal position and adjustments are simple and intuitive.

The ultra-light fiberglass frame provides the rigidity necessary for precise handling, while ensuring lasting comfort that remains unaffected by aging.

The Ripstop Dyneema® NEO fabric prevents any deformation of the seat and ensures consistent handling precision over time.

• Unmatched comfort in an ultra-light paragliding harness,
• The balance between the seat and the cocoon section allows you to relax your upper body and legs in flight.
• The NEO Koroyd protection provides the comfort and precision of a backplate without its bulk.
• The rigidity of the back panel allows you to fly with the shoulder straps loosened and prevents back fatigue on long flights.
• Simple and precise adjustments: side, shoulder, and chest.

Once the two thigh strap buckles are closed, a single action allows you to close the cocoon very easily using an ultra-light carabiner.

This action is protected by a certified anti-fall safety mechanism. It also activates the RESCUE STAND UP system.

The cocoon is simply sealed shut with a magnetic zipper.

The Race Up offers a multitude of pockets:

• 3 pockets on the vest,
• 2 zippered side pockets,
• 1 large back pocket,
• 1 pocket under the seat.

RESCUE DEPLOYMENT AND THE MIRROR EFFECT

If the pilot does not act on the wing to neutralize it during rescue parachute deployment, there is a high probability of experiencing the mirror effect, causing the paraglider to move in the opposite direction of the parachute.

THE PROBLEM: FALLING ON THE BACK

If the pilot deploys at low altitude and has too little time, or is unable to neutralize the wing (e.g., due to a twist), the mirror effect will occur.

The distance between the shoulders and the main attachment point creates a lever effect that brings the pilot into a horizontal position on their back. The pilot is completely at the mercy of the fall, with no ability to react, resulting in an inevitable impact on the back.

THE SOLUTION: THE STAND-UP SYSTEM

NEO’s STAND-UP system prevents this prone position, regardless of flight configuration.

The attachment points are now located at the anchor point

“STAND-UP” MEANS: AUTOMATIC PILOT REDRESSING

This patented system allows the pilot to stand up and land sitting or standing, as desired. It is then up to the pilot to choose their position upon returning to the ground. Sitting as if on a chair, the action to move into a fully standing position is extremely simple.
