UP International News

For upwards of 20 years pilots have been travelling to the arid Northeastern parts of Brazil to try and fly records and personal bests. Traditionally the focus has been on famous launches like Quixadá in the state of Ceará, and more recently Tacima in neighbouring Paraiba state (site of the recent World Record), but when UP Team Pilots Adi Seitz and Peter Hilger went to Brazil they set out to show the world that there are many more options for km-hungry pilots out there!

Trango X-Race

Refining a legend...

The Trango X-Race is tailored for the Red Bull X-Alps, but no less relevant for just about anyone keen to fly a high-performance wing, be it Sports Class competition or XC hounds, expedition freaks crossing remote mountain ranges on foot or in the air, or simply anyone who loves the feel of freedom a high-performance glider can offer.

2020 edition: This model is now also equipped with our popular snap-lock break handle as well as our C-steering handles.

  • Improved top speed
  • Improved glide and stability at top speed
  • Rear-riser control system, to work the AOA independently left and right, and keep the speed bar at pulley-to-pulley level even through turbulence
  • Around 450g lighter than the Trango XC3
  • New Generation "Sharknose" Aerofoil
  • Even lighter, more efficient speed bar due to new design and new Ronstan pulleys
  • New, more efficient riser design with improved longevity
  • 3D panel shaping
  • UP low-drag line attachment points on the canopy
  • Mini ribs along trailing edge
  • Further improved polar curve especially at top speed
  • Long FSS (Front Section Support system) battens in leading edge ("2-liner technology")
  • RSS (Rear Section Support system) Nylon batten over the C-level
