Easy ground handling and launch with quick inflation overhead. Combined with the forgiving general flight characteristic makes the X-FIRE suitable for a wide range of pilots - from the every day and experienced, to the low airtime and beginner pilots. Thanks to the OPTIFLEX® technology the pilot can comfortably accelerate the glider to gain higher speed for longer straight cruises and XC flights by setting the profile accordingly. The additional speed system allows the pilot to reach top speeds in non-turbulent conditions and can be safely used when trimmers are in neutral position. This is an important safety feature, if there is a departure from accelerated flight, the recovery characteristics will be better with the trims in the slow, neutral position. The tip steering feature is a great option for small and flat turns during cruise and accelerated flight without slowing the wing down in comparison to using the brakes. OPTIFLEX ® is a Flare <=> Reflex adjustment system allowing the pilot to alter the profile shape in a way to achieve good lift at take off, best flare and low speed during approach and landing as well as setting the profile for good speed and cruise. Easy zero wind inflation Short take off distance Effective flare for soft landings Ease of use High efficiency performance
