Air Design SuSi Xped

Designer’s words… By making the SuSi lighter and much faster while keeping its DNA, we allow the pilots to go much further in all their projects. This is why we chose the claim “Ready to explore” and the hashtag #lightgearjunkie. The SuSi XPed will already give you the smile while you get ready for your next expedition. Just go for it. Stephan Stiegler Designer The first generation of the SuSi (Super Simple) had no certification, only load-tested. It was originally built by our designer only for himself because Stephan wanted a wing for hike-and-fly which should be light, simple but performing. By getting the EN-A certification in most sizes, the fourth generation of the SuSi enables beginners to safely use this iconic glider as their first. The SuSi XPed does not replace the SuSi 4. It completes our range by aiming at more experienced pilots but still remaining certified in all its sizes! Whoop whoop! Construction & Features Double-coated Dominico DOKDO-10DSF for top and bottom surfaces. A choice that has proven itself in our Superlight gliders range. Optimized internal structure to save weight. Each gram counts! Unsheathed, hydrophobic and color-coded Aramid 8001 Magix Pro Dry lines. Solidity has never been so easy to untangle. Ground attachment loops on the leading edge to prevent the paraglider from slipping on a steep and/or slippery slope (snow). Evident inflation, efficient lift: ideal for short and tricky takeoffs. Delivered in a VacPack, the latter ensures a reduced volume in your rucksack but should not be used to store the glider. Our Superlight series focuses on building lightweight gliders having durability and usability in mind. Our new XPed series takes one step further and aims to reduce everything to its minimum – with functionality and practicality. The SuSi XPed is the first product to be launched, it is the lightest SuSi ever but still reliable in every situation.
