The BANTAM X redefines what an ultra-lightweight mountain glider can offer, showcasing exceptional features born from its radical design. This glider stands apart from the BANTAM 2, as it has been engineered with distinct characteristics, earning its own name extension rather than being merely a smaller version of its predecessor.

Key features of the BANTAM X include its remarkably short lines, measuring just 3.2 meters from the pilot to the canopy, which greatly enhances launch flexibility in challenging terrains. This, combined with exceptional flight stability and impressive flare behavior, makes the BANTAM X an ideal choice for mountain athletes who thrive on exposed launch sites. Crafted from the same high-quality material mix as the BANTAM 2, the BANTAM X prioritizes performance without compromising durability.

For those looking to optimize their setup, the Concertina Bag Mini is available as a perfect match for the BANTAM X. This lightweight pack sack, weighing a mere 110 grams, boasts an impressively small pack volume, measuring 205 cm long and 30 cm wide. Both the BANTAM 2 and BANTAM X fit seamlessly into this compact bag, making it an essential addition to any ultra-lightweight gear collection. By packing the wing cell to cell, thanks to the inclusion of nitinol rods in the leading edge, you can ensure prolonged lifespan and performance of your glider. Whether you’re navigating rugged mountains or seeking the ultimate adventure in the skies, the BANTAM X delivers unparalleled ease of use and functionality.
