REVOLUTION IN PARAGLIDING WITH HIGH PERFORMANCE DESIGN

With the EN C 2-Liner X2C Alex Höllwarth launches the first ZooM product and were able to lift the performance to the next level in its class. The exceptional good handling together with its cracking performance sets a new marker in the EN C – XC sportclass. Apart from technical features like Shark Nose, 3 times 3D shaping, LE/TE miniribs (made with internal stitch technique) the X2C benefits from the airflow simulation software of Hannes Papesh and could therefore pushed to the edge of performance in his class.

TARGET GROUP X2C

The ZOOM X2C is aimed at experienced sport class XC pilots who can utilise the potential of this wing and have already completed some SIV training.

FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS

Despite of the high aspect ratio of the X2C the wing launches easily and feels well controllable. Once In the air the X2C shows easy maneuverability and excellent climb performance. During the climbs in thermals the Sportclass XC wing has easy, but progressively increasing brake pressure throughout its brake range. In addition, the pilot gets always true feedback from the wing through the brakes. This makes the X2C a precise, easy-to-turn and responsive glider even in rough thermal condition with strong winds. Once accelerating, the X2C shows his high glide performance, which makes him a real competitor even to wings in high performance or open CCC class. The high wing stability and the responsive B-Steering allows the pilot to fly the ZooM X2C at top speeds, even in rough conditions.

SAFETY

During development, in addition to the idea of performance, a lot of attention was paid to the safety-related flight characteristics. The X2C impresses with a manageable extreme flight and therefore deliberately does not push the EN-C 2-line sport class to its limits.
