XC Tracer Maxx II - GPS FANET FLARM ADS-L Ready (IN STOCK)
Experience effortless flying with the new XC Tracer Maxx II.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum For All
Whether you're a beginner or a pro, the XC Tracer Maxx II allows you to fly more intuitively than ever before. XC Tracer Varios are not just for professionals; in fact, the opposite is true. Experienced pilots like Chrigel have been flying for so long that they can often ignore the discrepancies between the vario's beeps and their own instincts. However, for less experienced pilots, the XC Tracer Maxx II offers an intuitive flying experience where the vario's sounds align perfectly with what they feel. We encourage you to visit one of our test festivals to experience this for yourself. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to fly in thermals with the XC Tracer.

XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum precision
Conventional variometers have the disadvantage that climb and sink are always indicated with a more or less large time delay. With the XC Tracer Maxx II, the data from different sensors are combined with a complicated mathematical procedure and this time delay is eliminated. Thanks to the delay-free display of climb/sink, finding and centring thermals with a Maxx II is much easier than with a conventional variometer.
You can set the favourite tones of the variometer using the tone simulator.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum intuitive
Screens reduced to the essentials allow intuitive flying. Icons instead of text for effortless interpretations - you don't have to read any manual. We designed the screens to be as easy to read as possible - you just take a quick look and you've already grasped the essential information, so you can get back to watching the airspace and concentrating on flying. For the display, we use a hardened special glass, which avoids disturbing reflections and at the same time is very robust.
You can choose from the following screens.
- Simple: Vario analogue, Vario digital, Altitude, Speed over ground, Compass
- Standard: Vario analogue, Vario digital, altitude, speed over ground, compass, wind, glide ratio, flight time
- Thermal: Vario analogue, Vario digital, altitude, wind, thermal assistant, altitude curve of the last 30 seconds
- Buddy: Displays altitude, vario, position and status of up to 8 buddies, plus position and status of up to 100 FLARMS
- Airspace: Display with side view and top view, zoom levels can be selected. The screen update rate is up to 10Hz, warnings are integrated.
The screens are fixed and cannot be changed. Functions for competitions and XC are not planned at the moment, since everyone flies with a tablet with XCTrack at the moment.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum Social
You can always see where your buddies are. The Maxx II has a real FANET including FLARM built in, which means Maxx II can also receive data from other FANET. If you see a buddy at the launch site and want to add him as a buddy, it's as simple as a few clicks on the red button, only the vario with FANET from the buddy must be switched on and no further than 30m away. You can add up to 8 buddies, so you always know how far away they are, and how high they are, the vario display is also transmitted. And then also if the respective buddy is still flying or not. And finally, the position of your buddies is stored continuously. In the worst case, if a buddy does not show up in the evening, you can look up in your XC Tracer Maxx II where your buddy was the last time a FANET signal was received. You will find Latitude, Longitude, Altitude and Status. This information can be very helpful to locate a missing paraglider. You can also use your XC Tracer Maxx II as a search device, as all nearby FANET are displayed.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum Simplicity
To simplify operation, the vario features just one button. You'll find it incredibly easy to use - it's surprising how straightforward it is. Almost all settings can be adjusted with this single button. For any final adjustments, you can also connect the vario to a computer and refine the configuration file as needed.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum Proven
Red Bull X-Alps, World Record and countless other flyers swear by the XC Tracer technology. Take a closer look at the photos from Red Bull XAlps 2021, where more than two-thirds of the pilots flew with an XC Tracer. Look for a little black box with a red string and a red button on the photos - these are all XC Tracer Varios! And some pilots have even used a Maxx.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum Compactness
To make the vario as compact as possible, we have spared no expense and developed an internal FLARM antenna. This antenna is so broadband that it works all over the world, whether you fly in Europe, the USA, Australia, or anywhere else. To ensure you can fly legally, the vario is CE and FCC-certified.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum Endurance
The Vario has a built-in lithium polymer battery, which is fully charged for more than 70 hours of continuous operation, including data transmission via BLE and recording of IGC and KML files, and of course the operation of the FANET/FLARM radio with transmission and reception of FANET/FLARM data. The battery can be recharged via the included USB - C cable if needed.
XC Tracer Maxx II Maximum Light
The XC Tracer Maxx II weighs only 120 grams, so it is easy to take along on hike & fly.
