Most paraglider manufacturers are able to build an LTF D wing that goes well in a straight line - but for UP International, that could never be enough! Ever since the first Trango model was introduced we have been market leaders in Serial Class performance wings, simply because the Trango family has always had a well-deserved reputation for offering the best balance between all-out performance and user friendliness/safety.
 
The new UP Trango XC is no exception. Built with top performance as the ultimate goal, but with the trademark UP safety and handling always in sight, this is possibly the finest wing we have ever built. A true 3-liner with the performance to match anything currently out there in this class, the Trango XC is the right choice for most performance oriented pilots.

UP Trango XC - the true 3-liner

A true 3-liner is a wing that has only A, B and C line attachments on the canopy - just like the UP Edge, just like the new Trango XC. The advantages are obvious, with lines meaning drag, and less drag equalling more performance. On the new Trango XC the 3-line concept has been enhanced with the second generation of the UP Pitch trimmers, where the entire airfoil is changed when the trimmers are applied, so that although the wing is slowed down in climbing mode its near-perfect stalling characteristics don't change at all! The brake travel even remains the same!
 
Highlights of the UP Trango XC

• True 3-liner - less drag, more performance, more fun
• Built for speed and performance, but firmly within the safety parameters one can expect in the class - no nasty surprises!
• New risers designed in conjunction with the comp prototype risers - efficient and easy speed increase at at your feet
• 2. generation Pitch Trimmers - slow down the airfoil in lift without compromising slow flight feel. Also handy for tight landings
• New wingtips - better handling, gentle stall characteristics and reduced induced drag
• New canopy camber - tips are higher in relation to canopy centre compared to recent UP wings. This makes for higher projected aspect ratio, and has allowed us to go reduce the flat area of the wing for the same weight ranges
• Rounded cell openings - improves the inflation and strengthens the leading edge for increased tuck resistance
• Full race line concept - all lines made from unsheathed Aramide
• ASS2 - 2. generation Airfoil Stabilising System in the leading edge. Straight from the competition prototypes, this UP innovation keeps the leading edge shape with NO MYLAR inserts, and allows pilots the performance and stability of comparable Mylar leading edges without the hassle of accordion folding, and with no increased risk of cravattes
• Partial Brakeline Tensioning System - the UP BTS is employed for most of the trailing edge, in the middle the brake lines are moved forward from the trailing edge to improve canopy definition and control
• SpaceFrame Concept - no rigid or semi-rigid Mylar inserts in the canopy design, all shapes are maintained with carefully calculated pull only, just like in a Space Frame

This all translates to a new performance wing like no other. It launches better than most school wings, it handles like a hot knife in butter, it has a high top speed of 57km/h and it remains very stable all the way up there. Add to this the directional stability at speed and the very docile behaviour when the going gets rough, and you have the perfect tool for going far, fast.
