Dyneema® paragliding lines hit new heights: Maximum break strength at minimum diameter
Exploring the seas or skies is an experience like no other – and deserves equipment that soars above the rest.
In small-diameter lines, strength and weight hold the key to performance. Whether they’re kitesurfing or paragliding, users need to trust the equipment in their hands, knowing that it’s stronger, lighter, and more responsive than the closest alternative.
Dyneema®’s unique strength-to-weight ratio, ultra-lightness, and other performance-enhancing properties make it the natural choice for thrill-seekers and professionals looking for the confidence to push further.
Dyneema® fiber enables maximum strength and less bulk in paragliding and kitesurfing lines
MADE FOR: Paragliding lines
Kite sailing lines
Dyneema® enables STRENGTHplus+
As the world’s strongest fiber™, Dyneema® delivers unrivaled safety and reliability – unique characteristics that set it apart from conventional materials like generic HMPE and polyester fibers. With Dyneema® SK99 fiber, kiters and paragliders enjoy an unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio, packaged in an extremely low-diameter line.
Control you can count on
There are many reasons why the world’s leading sports equipment manufacturers choose Dyneema® fiber. One of the biggest? The way it enables superior responsiveness and control. That’s because elastic elongation (stretch) has a major bearing on performance. In kitesurfing or paragliding lines, stretch is caused by wind – and the greater the stretch, the greater the potential drag, making it harder to steer.
For ultimate control
Less drag than alternative solutions
10x less stretch than alternatives with a PES-based core
Safer and more enjoyable experience
Improved responsiveness means better steering
Reducing weight while lifting performance
Whether you’re surfing across rolling waves or gliding several kilometers above the ground, every gram of weight counts. Fifteen times stronger than steel, weight for weight, Dyneema® fiber helps to significantly reduce weight and bulk in sports applications like paragliding and kitesurfing lines – a critical factor in driving power and performance.
What’s more, paragliding lines made with Dyneema® provide maximum breaking strength for the lowest diameter. That means not only superior safety and reliability, but also superior smoothness – making lines easier to handle and more comfortable to use.
For lines that lead the way on weight
Lighter than steel, polyester, and generic HMPE at the same breaking load
No water absorption keeps ropes light
Enhanced stability and speed
Less bulk means added comfort and control
Reliable paragliding and kitesurfing lines that last longer
In sports like paragliding and kitesurfing, reliable equipment is non-negotiable. For athletes to tackle challenging conditions with confidence, kitesurfing and paraglider lines must be built to last – so they (and their users) can keep performing at their peak, time after time.
Dyneema®’s superior abrasion resistance, matched by its excellent aging and bending properties, enables manufacturers to develop ropes and lines that withstand the harshest conditions and most intense windspeeds.
The result is longer product lifetimes at a high level of performance – plus, of course, the peace of mind that comes from reliable, durable equipment. What’s more, Dyneema® repels water and dirt and is highly resistant to humidity and UV radiation. All this is why lines made with our fibers stand the test of time while others don’t.

Outperforms other fibers in standardized aging tests
Excellent abrasion resistance
Less frequent replacements enable cost savings
No water absorption
Repels dirt and salt
Resistant to UV and IR radiation
Protecting the great outdoors
Enjoying the natural world starts with respecting it. With the lowest carbon footprint per unit strength of all high-performance fibers, Dyneema® is a more sustainable choice for sporting lines.
For one thing, 100% of the electricity we use to make Dyneema® fiber comes from renewable sources, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared with generic HMPE ropes.
But that’s not all: Dyneema® also decreases material use by enabling longer service lifetimes for equipment. And by opting for bio-based Dyneema® fiber, manufacturers can reduce their footprint by up to 90% compared with generic HMPE – helping to meet their environmental targets while still benefiting from the same world-leading characteristics of conventional Dyneema®.
