The Summit XC4 is a high-end EN B wing that is very easy to fly, and even more to the point, it is a wing that is very easy to fly far on. The handling is close to that of our popular high-end EN C wing, the Trango XC3, meaning it will communicate with its pilot, and let them know precisely what is going on where, without feeling nervous in the process. The glide at high speeds, critical for headwind performance on XC flights, has been improved compared to the Summit XC3, and with the light and efficient speed system and the very stable aerofoil there is simply no reason to hang around - just mash that bar, comfortable in the knowledge that you can control any forward pitch with the C-handles even before they turn into proper surges.
2020 edition: This model is now also equipped with our popular snap-lock break handle as well as our C-steering handles.
*) Front Section Support system/ Rear Section Support system; Nylon battens in leading- and trailing edges, respectively
**) 6.3 flat A/R
It is simple really; no one knows UP products better than UP - meaning if you want your glider serviced by the best there is, there's just no better solution than to send it directly to us...

The "FZ" in the name for our new speed top is short for "Full Zip" - this indispensible new garment features a full-length zipper all the way down the front, to make it easier and more convenient to get on and off. It is made from 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, and comes in 3 sizes to accomodate most speed-hungry pilots. The UP artwork includes big "Airborne Sensations" logos down both sleeves. Ask your local UP dealer for either the M, L or XL size!
