The ICARO Pro-Handle is a newly developed paragliding steering handle that combines a soft neoprene pillow with a robust aluminium stick mounting, delivering a precise, fatigue‑reducing connection between pilot and wing for ambitious cross-country and performance-oriented pilots.
H2: Designed for control and comfort
Thanks to its ergonomically shaped neoprene pillow, the Pro-Handle lies comfortably in the hand even on long flights. The soft, slightly padded surface reduces pressure points and allows a relaxed grip, while the rigid aluminium mounting ensures that every control input is transmitted directly and efficiently to the glider.
H3: Who benefits from the Pro-Handle
The handle has been created for pilots who value both comfort and exact handling – from regular XC flyers to professionals who spend many hours in the air. Its balanced design supports fine brake work in weak thermals as well as powerful steering in dynamic manoeuvres.
H2: Key technical characteristics
ICARO specifies several practical advantages: the Pro-Handle can be adjusted in two sizes via a push-button lock, enabling quick adaptation to pilot preference or glove thickness. One pair weighs only about 150 g, which keeps the overall cockpit weight low. The high-quality material mix of aluminium and neoprene offers durability, a firm connection to the brake line and excellent grip in varied flying conditions.
H3: Lightweight yet durable construction
At a listed net retail price of 55 EUR, the Pro-Handle positions itself as a premium yet affordable upgrade for pilots who want to refine their wing control without adding unnecessary bulk to their equipment. The low weight makes it particularly interesting for hike-&-fly and XC pilots who count every gram, but still require a solid, precise steering interface.
