We kept some features of its predecessor, such as the BTS (Brake Tension System), added new features such as the Airfoil Stabilizing System to replace the Mylar in the leading edge, equipped the trailing edge with mini-ribs to reduce drag, worked on the weight ranges and in fact, completely redesigned the canopy.
With only three risers/side the Summit XC² is a 3-liner, but in order to keep it firmly within its class we decided to keep a couple of D attachment points on the canopy, supported by the C lines.
The result is a high performance paraglider, which only scored ONE C during certification (size M in the category full speed 75% asymmetrical collapse) – the rest of the categories scored A’s and B’s!
When you fly it we know you'll agree – this is what easy performance paragliding is all about!
The new 2012 Summit XC2 risers
As many will know, we have updated the Summit XC2 for 2012, by revising the speed system on the risers.
Gone are the old Riley pulleys which were to blame for the somewhat heavy speed bar on the original version, replaced by high-end Ronstan pulleys with ball bearings which reduce the force needed to deploy the speed bar by 38%!
The new risers are also available as a retrofit upgrade for existing Summit XC2 owners - please contact your local dealer, or UP directly, if you would like the Upgrade.
Delivery: Ergonomic Backpack, Parasleeve, UP Gift, UP Sticker
