UP TRANGO X-Race
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.

Description
The new Trango X-Race follows closely in the footsteps of the XC3 but adds a number of features to the already long list that defines the XC3. Of these, the improved performance at full speed, and the fact that it now has efficient C-riser control, with a connection to the B-risers so that it flies more like a 2-liner, will likely excite you the most.
- 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
