ZOOM XHB (EN B+)
3-liner | cells: 71 | aspect ratio: 6.1 | EN B
The ZOOM XHB sets a benchmark for high-performance cross-country paragliding gliders, bringing advanced two-liner technology to the high EN-B class. Available at Fly2Base, this intermediate wing combines an aggressive 6.1 aspect ratio and 71-cell canopy structure with intuitive, pitch-stable handling to maximise your XC distance potential.
How Does the ZOOM XHB Redefine High EN-B Performance?
Designed by Alex Höllwarth, the ZOOM XHB incorporates aerodynamic profile technology derived from two-liner competition wings. It delivers high speed-bar stability, clean glide efficiency, and precise thermal biting without compromising manageable passive safety.
Key Pilot Benefits
-
Advanced 71-Cell Profile: Utilises a 6.1 flat aspect ratio and 71 cells to minimise internal ballooning and maintain exceptional canopy cohesion at full speed.
-
Effortless Thermal Centring: Direct, precise brake feedback allows pilots to track smoothly into thermal cores with low physical effort.
-
Intuitive B-C Riser Control: Features an ergonomic B-C control system for angle-of-attack steering during accelerated glides through active air mass.
-
Triple 3D Shaping & Shark Nose: Optimised leading-edge airflow maintains high collapse resistance and clean structural rigidity.
-
Semi-Light Construction: Weighs under 4.0 kg (size 105 with light risers), making it suitable for both dedicated XC distance tasks and hike-and-fly objectives.
