DESCRIPTION

With the CAYENNE5, we are redefining the sport class. Its short, crisp brake line travel turns 
your every impulse into immediate altitude gain and will remind you of a comp wing. The CAY-
ENNE5 has plenty of energy in reserve to let you adjust your turning radius and bank angle 
without losing speed. Nothing can knock this homogenous wing off course – whether you’re 
hunting pulsating thermals close to the slope or opening up your radius in a tight, turbulent 
core. The glide performance of the CAYENNE5 is world class. In cruise flight, it flies like it’s on 
rails and its whole performance range is available to you via the smooth speed system.
Because modern all-round gliders like our CHILI and TEQUILA leave no wishes unfulfilled, we 
decided to design the CAYENNE5 with higher performance than its predecessor. It’s posi-
tioned on the upper end of the EN/LTF-C class without pushing the limit. This fifth gener-
ation CAYENNE remains loyal to its CAYENNE-series roots. Despite its direct brake line re-
sponse, the new CAYENNE5’s stall break is pleasantly delayed. On landing, it remains nicely 
controllable and the stall comes late. Thanks to its high stability, collapses are rare.  
Like all our gliders, the new CAYENNE5 follows the skywalk philosophy:  pure passion for flying.

PILOT REQUIREMENTS

The CAYENNE5 is suitable for ambitious XC pilots up to comp pilots.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

The CAYENNE5 comes standard with inner bag, compression strap, 2 sticker sheets,
glider backpack, riser bag and manual.

JET FLAPS

Each of our gliders is equipped with skywalk’s patented JET FLAP technology. Air is con-
ducted from the bottom of the wing (pressure area) to the top of the wing (vacuum area) 
and is blown out there with a higher speed. The connection is established through jet 
shaped channels located toward the back of the wing. The addition air mass on the top 
of the wing delays the flow separation. The stall occurs later, the minimum flyable speed 
is lower, and the pilot has more reserve in the angle of attack. This is especially important 
in phases such as takeoff and landing. The JET FLAPS also help to improve climb perfor-
mance since they allow you to circle very slowly in thermals with little danger. The glider 
can be flown normally as the JET FLAPS don’t require any special control technique.
