From X-Alps Champion to Serial Production Excellence
The DNA of the NOVA Xenon 3 is rooted in pure racing triumph. Its predecessor, the Xenon 2, was designed with a single goal: to conquer the world's toughest hike-and-fly race. Under the masterful piloting of Aaron Durogati, it won the prestigious Red Bull X-Alps 2025 edition.
While the race machine proved its raw power, NOVA chose not to release it to the public immediately. Instead, they took that winning aerodynamic concept and spent a year refining its handling, filling behaviour, and control. The result is the Xenon 3: the exact glider the X-Alps champion was always meant to be.
Why the NOVA Xenon 3 Changes the Game
-
Proven 2-Liner Efficiency: Features 73 cells and a flat aspect ratio of 6.80, delivering exceptional stability at full acceleration and a controlled, calm flight feeling over massive distances.
-
Refined Leading Edge Technology: Built with optimized finishing, more precise guidance of the integrated Nitinol rods, and fine-tuned 3D shaping for even more power when pushing the speed bar.
-
Redesigned Brake Geometry: Each wing size features a specifically tuned brake concept. Expect direct, precise handling, clearly defined brake pressure, and immediate feedback for total control in turbulent alpine air.
-
Light but Built to Last: Starting at just 3.05 kg (Size XS), this wing avoids extreme weight-saving gimmicks that compromise longevity. By utilizing premium Dominico 2044 (20D) fabric on the leading edge, NOVA ensures incredible resistance and shape retention over years of hard use.
Technical Data & Weight Ranges
| Size | Cells | Flat Aspect Ratio | Weight (kg) | Certified Take-off Weight (kg) | Certification (EN/LTF) |
| XS | 73 | 6.80 | 3.05 | 60-78 | EN D |
| S | 73 | 6.80 | 3.25 | 70-88 | EN D |
| M | 73 | 6.80 | 3.50 | 80-98 | EN D |
| L | 73 | 6.80 | 3.80 | 90-110 | EN C |
Pilot Tip (The Weight Sweet Spot): For the most direct handling and optimum performance in accelerated flight on epic XC days, fly the Xenon 3 roughly 2 kg to 3 kg below the maximum certified take-off weight. For weaker lifting conditions, flying closer to the middle of the weight range maximizes climbing efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the NOVA Xenon 3 designed for?
The Xenon 3 is built for advanced cross-country pilots and ambitious hike-and-fly competitors who want minimal equipment weight and a compact packing volume, but refuse to accept any compromises on high-speed glide performance.
What makes version 3 different from the prototype that won the X-Alps?
While the high-performance canopy structure remains identical to the race-winning model, version 3 introduces a completely overhauled brake system for cleaner handling, better inflation characteristics, and optimized Nitinol rod placement to ensure the wing retains its shape over long-term use.
Is this glider highly delicate?
No. NOVA deliberately balanced a light construction with durable materials. By using robust Dominico 2044 (20D) fabric on the leading edge, the internal structure is built to resist stretching and degradation, ensuring the profile remains stable over a long lifetime.
NOVA 4 Years WARRANTY On Materials
We guarantee your paraglider for an additional three years*, covering materials and workmanship. If your wing undergoes NOVA Trim Tuning and a NOVA Full Service by an authorised NOVA partner, the guarantee extends to four years*. If repair isn’t possible, we will deduct the current value when purchasing a new NOVA paraglider.
NOVA 3 Years No Full Service Required
If your wing receives NOVA Trim Tuning, the standard two-year service check extends to three years (from the date of purchase), as long as you stay within the flight hours specified in the manual. This lets you focus on what you love—flying!
NOVA Trim Tuning
Over time, glider lines stretch or shrink, affecting performance. Typically, A and B lines stretch while C lines shrink, making the wing slower and less agile. NOVA Trim Tuning (NTT), developed with instructor and mathematician Ralf Antz, restores optimal performance. After 15-20 flight hours, send your wing to us or an authorised partner for measurement and trimming. Wings with NTT qualify for the 3-Year No Check Required guarantee.
NOVA Full Service
Our NOVA Full Service is more than a routine check—it ensures your glider is in top condition. We assess porosity, line lengths, and trim using our advanced Quality Assurance Database (QAD). All measurements are recorded, allowing technicians to make precise adjustments. This system helps us refine our designs for better safety and performance.
NOVA Quality Assurance Database
Your glider’s history is digitally stored in our QAD. Registering at MyNOVA grants access to all service records, including Full Service logs and Trim Tuning data. This system also helps us monitor material durability and improve future designs. NOVA service centres use QAD to assess your wing before servicing, enhancing knowledge transfer for better safety.
