AVAX XC
This paraglider is optimised for excellent glide, handling and good behaviour while maintaining a high level of in-flight comfort for a glider in the "Open" category. The handling is precise and direct and the turn efficient. Gradient believes that the new AVAX XC will find favour with experienced pilots looking for a wing that is a pleasure to fly or new competition pilots who want to take a progressive approach in choosing a competition wing".
