Valluna, Valluna Bivouac Nervures paraglider

Products > Paragliders > Valluna

Valluna means, “door to our dreams” in quechua.

The Valluna comes in 2 flavours: standard or bivouac.

Valluna II

With this wing, we have attempted to realise our dream of a lightweight performance paraglider that would become a natural extension of yourself. The objective is to be competitive in free flight, (local and XC), without giving up the practicalities required by travel, trekking and adventure. Despite its relatively high aspect ratio and performances, inflation is simple. In flight there is a good glide sensation without sacrificing the legendary Nervures characteristics of progressive and linear feedback. Fun to fly, the Valluna reacts to any weight shift and brake input, satisfying the demands of a wide diversity of turn regimes. The lightness of the cloth confers notable advantages in stability during turbulent conditions. Even though its level of performance and handling is aimed at qualified pilots, its certification category as AFNOR standard confirms an accessible level of piloting.

Valluna II Bivouac

The technical innovations (fabric – lines), validated over 2 years on the Kenya Expe model, have been repeated on this lightweight version of the Valluna. The result is a weight saving of more than a kilogram together with slightly improved performance. God given statistics (4.2 Kg-glide ratio of 8 for the 28m²), the Valluna bivouac is the bivy flight friend we have dreamed of for a long time. We dedicate this wing to those pilots who go out to live their Adventure, where sometimes around the next bend, rough flight conditions may be met in committing surroundings.

It is not planned to proceed with a new certification for this model. A regular inspection (every 100 hours) is required.
