Trango X-Light (Open Class)

SENSATIONAL ADVENTURES


The para-adventurers' weapon of choice...

 

 

The new Trango X-Light is your chance to fly exactly the same wing as Alex Hofer and Toma Coconea flew in the 2009 Red Bull X-Alps. Simply put, our R&D guys built a specialised wing for the X-Alps and ended up liking it so much that we decided to put it into general circulation!

 

Some highlights of the UP Trango X-Light:

 

  • Extraordinary performance! Comparative tests have shown that the X-Light goes at least as well as the UP Edge almost all the way up to top speed - only in absolute top-speed final glide mode does the Edge have an edge!
  • Super light and compact build for a high-performance wing! Easy on your back, easy on your airline...
  • Long-lasting material mix everywhere - we expect the X-Light to age as well as any other UP product due to the intelligent use of quality materials all around
  • No Leading Edge Mylar - ASS for perfect LE definition, long life and easy packing
  • SpaceFrame Design - refined internal construction ensuring perfectly defined shaping
  • Direct, precise handling for that important feel in the air

 

The Trango X-Light comes in the special Lightweight glider livery, Green/White. It can be ordered in Orange/White and Red/White at no surcharge (allow 6-8 weeks for delivery), and be designed individually using our advanced colour chooser software tool (there's a small surcharge for custom colours - see your local UP representative for details).


UP Trango X-Light - higher, faster, further

 

Our latest thoroughbred adventure wing is designed to go where no pilot has gone before - but that doesn't mean you couldn't take it to a big comp and kick some a** on it! In fact that is exactly what Alex Hofer did - he took his to the Swiss Open to train for the Red Bull X-Alps, and came 2. in the overall ranking!

His success may have been partly due to the fact that conditions during the comp were exceedingly rough - both Alex and the Trango X-Light are known to have high discomfort thresholds, and when you put the two together the result is going to be spectacular for sure - but even if your own discomfort threshold is not on par with Alex' this wing will look after you whereever you take it, no surprises, no bite, just efficiency and ease in all conditions.

The speed system has been redesigned especially for this wing and gives it immediate response on the speed bar, a flat polar and a very respectable 62km/h+ top speed.
