Technical specifications of the Masala 4 wing
The Masala 4 was conceived and designed to be a lightweight wing , without neglecting its solid, sturdy side. That's why the Skywalk teams have opted for a range of resistant materials for the wing 's construction. The upper and lower parts of the wing are made from Porcher Skytex, guaranteeing lightness and durability. The main, intermediate and top lines, meanwhile, are developed in Liros, offering optimum strength and reliability.
Why choose the Masala 4 for your paragliding flights?
The Masala 4 is extremely easy to handle. Preparing for take-off is particularly straightforward, thanks to clearly arranged risers with color-coded stitching that immediately indicates if the risers are not correctly arranged. On take-off, the Masala 4 rises evenly and reliably above the pilot, the glider correcting itself almost automatically. Whether you're taking off for the first time or are an experienced Hike & Fly pilot, this wing will make you feel safe and secure. Once airborne, its playful handling and flying characteristics will make you feel immediately confident. The feeling of flight is very intuitive.
Skywalk advises fans of speed and dynamism in the air to fly at the upper end of the weight range. In this case, you should bear in mind that even if this wing is EN A-approved over the whole weight range, you'll be flying far too fast to have the same comfort as in the middle of the weight range.
So whether you're just starting out on your flying career, or looking for a versatile wing to take your flying to the next level, the Masala 4 is a wise choice, proving once again Skywalk's commitment to providing high-quality equipment that meets and exceeds the expectations of pilots the world over.
