Triple Seven Rook 4 MS. 80-98I finally got the new high B glider from Triple Seven, the Rook 4 which replaces the amazing Rook 3.Back for my Rook 3 review, I mentioned an excellent climb rate in weak and strong, with very good handling. The only issue was the launching behavior and the little hump on the leading edge which was noticed later on. Could 777 manage to make a better version? Let’s see…First here is the 777 link for the Rook 4 as you can see all the details. https://777gliders.com/gliders/rook-4/The construction, details, lines stitching, etc, seem on the higher end…

UP Kibo – X size S The Kibo-X is the new UP mid B glider, with a 2.5 line configuration. https://www.up-paragliders.com/en/products/paragliders/kibo-xThe Construction and details seem very similar to the Trango-X, Kangri-X, and Summit-X which seem very good.Launching the Kibo-X while holding the inner A risers even in little wind, have a steady and homogenous rise with no hard point with a fluid normal canopy rise.I flew the Kino-X size S ( 70-90) at 85 all up.
