Kode 2 P: HIKE LIGHTLY, FLY FREE AND ENJOY THE RIDE

Hike & Fly 
Ultralight and compact, the Kode 2 P is ready to launch and land from any terrain. It is the perfect wing to instil confidence on all your hike & fly adventures.

Leisure
The great versatility of the Kode 2 P enables to all kinds of adventures, always offering comfortable, accessible and controlled handling.

Hike & Fly Fun
The small sizes 12–14, as well as the intermediate sizes 16–18 when flown near their maximum wing loading, are intended for experienced pilots with active flying skills. The wing’s behaviour varies according to weight, becoming much more reactive and dynamic.

In detail

Each size, a different experience

The Kode 2 P is a highly versatile wing, whose handling changes depending on size and wing loading. Sizes 22, 24, and 26 are easy, pleasant, and docile; whereas sizes 16, 18, and 20 have a more dynamic and responsive character, especially when flown near the upper end of their weight range. The smallest sizes (12 and 14), which are mini-wings, are more agile and playful, with greater sensitivity to pilot inputs and weight shift.

It is a very stable wing in any size, especially well controlled in roll, thanks to the optimised arc.

Even lighter

The undersurface is made with the new ultralight and durable N10 22 g fabric, reducing the total weight of the wing and making it more compact.

Now, all sizes share the same risers – lighter yet just as easy to handle – which further reduces weight without compromising functionality.

More precise braking

The brake has been optimised to provide clearer, more progressive feedback, especially at lower speeds. It is easier to feel when the wing is approaching the stall point, allowing the pilot to anticipate and maintain control without causing an unintentional stall.

Handling remains accessible and intuitive, even in turbulent conditions. Transitions are smooth, turns are pleasant and climbing in thermals is efficient.

Easy launches and landings

Inflation is smooth and progressive, even in zero wind. Compared to the previous model, the wing rises even more easily, allowing for quick take offs.

During landing, the final flight phase is straightforward and controlled, thanks to the brake precision. Land confidently in tight or technical spots without difficulty.
