Cross-country (XC) paragliders

Cross-country paragliders are built to fly far. They combine strong glide, good speed on bar and efficient climbing with handling that stays comfortable on long flights. In this category you'll find high-end EN-B ("EN-B+") wings and accessible EN-C wings.

Who should fly an XC paraglider?

• Experienced pilots who fly regularly and want to go further
• Pilots targeting their first 50 km, 100 km and longer flights
• Pilots moving from an entry-level EN-B who have good active-piloting skills

EN-B+ or EN-C?

High EN-B wings give a big step in performance while keeping EN-B passive safety – the sweet spot for most cross-country pilots. EN-C wings (often 2-liners or 2.5-liners) offer more speed and glide but need more active piloting and regular airtime.
