Extended XC flights often lead to mental and physical fatigue. However, Skywalk engineers have developed a stress-reducing wing architecture that significantly improves flight comfort. The SPICE2 absorbs turbulence more effectively and maintains consistent internal pressure, which lessens the pilot’s stress load and encourages longer, more enjoyable flights.
Hike & Fly Friendly—Because the Ascent Matters Too
Compact Packing, Featherweight Portability
When your route involves trekking to your launch, you’ll thank yourself for choosing the SPICE2. Weighing notably less than traditional XC gliders, it packs down to a compact size that easily fits in most hike & fly backpacks. Whether you’re navigating high-altitude ridgelines or remote alpine paths, the SPICE2 lightens the load without compromising your performance goals.
Furthermore, its quick-rigging design lets you go from backpack to takeoff in minutes—ensuring you spend less time on the ground and more time in the sky.
Smart Material Mix Ensures Durability and Lightness
Using a hybrid material construction, the SPICE2 blends lightweight Porcher Skytex 27 and 32 materials in strategic zones to balance wear resistance and weight reduction. Reinforced leading edges, durable internal stitching, and a streamlined design help the glider remain resilient even after repeated pack-ups and rougher terrain exposure.
Who Should Fly the SPICE2?
Made for the Ambitious and Progress-Driven Pilot
If you’re already flying EN B wings and pushing the upper limits of what they offer, the SPICE2 presents the natural next step. It caters to ambitious pilots who desire the performance leap of an EN C glider while retaining elements of control and predictability that support skill progression.
Equally, if you’re an XC addict who values lightweight gear for vol-biv or hike & fly missions, this wing fits seamlessly into your kit—no compromises, no limitations.

SPICE2 vs. Traditional XC Wings
Why This Wing Stands Out
Many traditional XC gliders focus purely on performance, leaving weight and packability as afterthoughts. The SPICE2 shatters that compromise by integrating Skywalk’s hike & fly philosophy into a full-fledged cross-country machine. It’s lighter than most competitors, yet offers the same—or better—glide performance, thermal efficiency, and speed range.SKYWALK SPICE2
Moreover, thanks to its intuitive flight characteristics and smart safety design, the SPICE2 becomes an ideal platform for progressive learning and goal-setting in the XC world. You don’t just fly it—you evolve with it.

HOW DOES THE SPICE FLY?
The SPICE2 demonstrates its balanced characteristics right at launch. While kiting, the lightweight canopy rises steadily above the pilot and develops lift quickly, which makes launching from steep or tight sites in alpine terrain much easier.Â
In the air, the glider immediately conveys confidence, and the ultra-lightweight canopy provides pleasant feedback. For relaxed, fatigue-free XC flying, brake line pressure is pleasantly low and brake line travel is moderate. The glider responds directly to brake input and turns smoothly as bank angle increases. The SPICE2 is particularly pitch-stable and sits firmly in the air. This translates to an enormous performance boost, especially in turbulent conditions, and enables very efficient flying as the pilot compensates less for canopy movement around the vertical, horizontal or longitudinal axis when gliding.Â
The angle of attack of the canopy can be easily and efficiently controlled in accelerated flight via the C-risers. The speed system and the SPEED CONTROL work smoothly, so you can fly fast, fatigue-free and maintain a high average speed for a long time, even in turbulence –– perfect for demanding XC adventures!

Design
We have adamantly optimized the SPICE2 for lightness. At the leading edge, which is particularly stressed by UV radiation and mechanical influences, our innovative TX-Light material is used, which offers an excellent compromise between lightness and robustness. The less stressed main parts of the top and bottom sails are made of very lightweight Dominico 10D material, which offers excellent aging resistance for its extremely low weight. For the profile ribs and anchor lines, we use the proven Porcher Skytex 27g hard finish, which offers high dimensional stability at low weight. The user-friendly line concept leaves nothing to be desired for an ultra-lightweight sports class glider.Â
JET FLAPS
Our JET FLAPS extend the green arc as you approach the stall point, which substantially increases safety and also improves climb performance.
RIGID FOIL
The Rigid Foil nylon wires on the leading edge help maintain its shape and ensure constant ram air pressure. Advantages: better takeoff behavior, more performance and lower canopy weight.
3D-SHAPING
A precise calculation of the leading edge geometry and the installation of an additional strip of fabric reduce wrinkling in this sensitive part of the glider. Advantages: exact wing shape, more performance.
3-LINE-LEVELS
The 3-line-level concept reduces the number of lines and the resulting drag. Advantages: more performance and a better overview at launch.
MINI RIBS
Doubling the number of cells at the trailing edge increases its shape stability substantially. Advantage: fewer vortices improve the aerodynamics and with it the performance.
C-WIRES
Nylon wires sewn into the glider over the anchor points of the C-level lines. Advantages: better load distribution, reduced drag, more performance.
SHARK NOSE
Together with a corresponding wing design, the shark nose technology improves pressure distribution in the canopy substantially. Advantages: much more solid flying feeling and substantial performance gain, especially when gliding on bar.SKYWALK SPICE2
SPEED CONTROL
Riser steering system which allows the pilot to even out turbulence, speed and pitch while flying on speed bar without having to release the speed bar.
