Skywalk X-Alps6 – EN D

DescriptionThe X-ALPS6 impresses with exceptionally easy launch behavior for its class. The ultra-light canopy rises cleanly above the pilot with minimal input, ensuring reliable take-offs – even in demanding conditions. In thermals, it reveals its playful character: low brake pressure, direct response, and effortless centering evoke the familiar handling of a SAGE – sensitive, intuitive, precise. But when the speed bar comes into play, the X-ALPS6 unleashes its full potential – in true POISON tradition: with high inherent stability, the wing glides efficiently through turbulent air, converts turbulence into altitude, and remains precisely controllable at all times. The B-control system enables energy-saving, active flying – perfect for long glide phases where efficiency is key. A newly developed profile, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, and optimized tension distribution result in noticeably higher performance and a significantly higher top speed – exactly the kind of reserve that ambitious Hike&Fly and X-Alps pilots can count on in critical moments. Ready to launch anywhere, confident in any air mass.2 LINE LEVELS WITH B-STEERINGReduces the number of lines and the resulting drag. Allows a fast, efficient flying style. Advantages: more performance, full control when flying accelerated and a better overview at launch.3D-SHAPINGA precise calculation of the leading edge geometry and the installation of an additional strip of fabric reduce wrinkling in this sensitive part of the glider. Advantages: exact wing shape, more performance.SHARK NOSETogether with a corresponding wing design, the shark nose technology improves pressure distribution in the canopy substantially. Advantages: much more solid flying feeling and substantial performance gain, especially when gliding on bar.MINI RIBSDoubling the number of cells at the trailing edge increases its shape stability substantially. Advantage: fewer vortices improve the aerodynamics and with it the performance.RIGID FOILNylon and Nitinol wires keep the leading edge and the profile in shape and ensure constant ram air pressure. Advantages: better take-off behavior and more performance.SMART LINK SYSTEMColor coded seams on the risers to ensure that the risers are connected correctly and without being twisted. red = left / blue = rightTECHNICAL DATAMATERIALHOMOLOGATIONDOWNLOADSSize75 85 95 105 Cells73737373Area flat (m²)20.421.4822.623.7Area projected (m²)17.6318.5619.5320.48Wingspan flat (m)11.5611.8612.1612.46Wingspan projected (m)9.549.7910.0410.29Aspect ratio flat6.66.66.66.6Aspect ratio projected5.185.185.185.18Weight (kg)3.453.63.753.8Certified weight range (kg)55 – 7870 – 8875 – 9885 – 108HomologationLTF/EN DLTF/EN DLTF/EN DLTF/EN DYour X-ALPS6 package1x SOFTBAG1x Packing Tube1x Basic Guide1x Multifunktionstuch1x Klebesegel
