$94,80 – $104,28

The most compact and lightest paragliding variometer on the market !

The CHOUKA‘s lightness and battery autonomy will allow you to leave it constantly on its mounting point during each trip (helmet, risers, harness, cockpit, etc.). This vario is ideal for paragliding hike & fly, mountain flying, tandem, and above all for paraglider pilots rejecting the idea to fly with a labyrinthine system !

The CHOUKA smart offers the same functionalities as the classic CHOUKA but can also be connected to the XCTrack application on an Android smartphone in order to combine the power of XCTrack, the smartphone’s GPS and the precision of the variometric data of the CHOUKA.
