UP Summit XC 4

• New Generation "sharknose" Aerofoil, to maintain optimal internal pressure at all angles of incidence,
• FSS* and RSS to maintain aerofoil integrity at all angles of incidence as well as improve collapse resistance,
• New riser design with efficient C-steering ability,
• Optimised aspect ratio of 4.8 (projected)**, to improve gliding performance and energy retention on fast, turbulent glides,
• Brake Tensioning System (BTS2), helps us to achieve the class-leading climbing performance and improves handling,
• BB pulleys used throughout on the speed system for a soft, efficient speed bar,
• Speed system which changes the AoA differently across the span, leading to more stability at high speeds, rare collapses and more benign reactions to collapses (hence the EN B rating),
• Our 3D panel shaping leads to less wrinkles in the canopy, better performance and higher collapse resistance,
• Low-drag line layout means minimum drag and better performance,
• Swept-back wingtips for improved handling, better climbing,
• Mini ribs in the trailing edge for perfect trailing edge definition, improved handling and climbing, and a more comfortable ride,
• Optimised combination of Dyneema and Technora lines for best longevity and a stable AoA even in strong turbulence, no unwanted pitching upon thermal entry,
• Handling and feel a perfect mix of Summit XC and Trango XC Series, meaning extreme efficiency with high fun-factor!
