Compared to its predecessor the new MESCAL has easier launch behaviour due to lower overshooting tendency. Preparation for launch is easier with the new line setup.

More information in the next episode.

MESCAL6 coming soon!

With the skywalk AGILITY SYSTEM you can switch between the two brake line geometries “Comfort-Mode” and “Sport-Mode”. The MESCAL6 reacts differently to brake input:


In “Comfort-Mode” the MESCAL6 is the perfect flight school glider. The brakes accentuate the center of the wing: Brake input is directly applied and the canopy turns flatter – perfect for flights on training slopes and the first mountain flights. Student pilots can concentrate fully on the unknown medium of air.

In "Sport-Mode” the handling becomes more lively and agile. The brakes accentuate the outer wing: the glider banks higher, the control pressure in the effective range is lower and you can optimize your bank angle in every position while turning – experienced pilots fly high wingovers with ease. The conversion between the two modes takes only a few minutes and can easily be done by the pilot without any tools.

In celebration of the 10th edition of the Red Bull X-Alps, we are releasing our ultralight competition harness RANGE X-ALPS2 in a limited color edition "Steel Blue".

The series comes with a sewn-in woven label in the back storage compartment and is restricted to 150 pieces only. Each piece comes with its own number from #001 to #150 which makes it a true collectible.

Regardless of whether the MESCAL6 is flown in "Comfort Mode" or "Sport Mode", the brakes respond smoothly in the ideal working range for beginners and leisure pilots. The control pressure increases progressively as the brake lines are pulled. The glider is well damped, but gives so much feedback that the pilot feels everything happening in the air. Control impulses are converted directly, making the glider fun to fly long after training.

Due to the well-balanced flight characteristics, the climb behavior is very forgiving, which makes it easy for the pilot to circle even in demanding conditions. The glider is very easy to control in thermals. Typical for the MESCAL series, the glide performance is outstanding for its class!

MESCAL6 coming soon!

Like its predecessors, the MESCAL6 comes with the take-off checkpoints sewn on the riser. We would like to help you with some pictograms on the A-riser not to forget anything before you go up.

Aspect ratio 6.4. 69 cells. Shark nose. 3-line technology. The specs and silhouette of our brand new sport class glider don’t need any further explanation. Its purpose is clear when you see it. This super slender wing is at home in any of the world’s top XC arenas.

skywalk paragliders!

Elisa Deutschmann recently joint the @SALEWA people team and had the opportunity to meet our @Red Bull X-Alps x SALEWA x skywalk athletes to tap into their knowledge and interview them on their view to the toughest adventure race on earth. As the knowledge of the community belongs to the community, Elisa will share what she learned in the next weeks.

Stay tuned for the first interview and follow our road to X-Alps on our channels.

​@SALEWA x skywalk athlete Markus Anders is a second time competitor at this years @Red Bull X-Alps and knows it can happen that you have to land somewhere super remote - far away from your supporter team.

Markus is an expert in vol-bivouac adventures as he practiced it many times - at his INDIA expedition for example.

„You can plan the day, but not where it will end. Vol-biv is the true synthesis of adventure flying“ - Markus says.
