The Ultralite X (ULX) is a speed-focused mini-wing evolution of the innovative Ultralite 5 glider. Featuring smaller sizes and R3X-style trimmers, this glider is optimized for intermediate-to-advanced level speed pilots looking for glide, speed, roll response and stability.
The Speed-specific riser design allows for accurate rear-riser piloting, unparalleled by other mini-wing designs – many of which rely on speed-bar rather than on trimmers.
The new 11m size combines the best of Speed-wing agility with Mini-wing glide performance. It is one of the smallest, most dynamic, responsive, and stable mini-wings available on the market.
Description
THE PILOT
The ULX offers an exciting combination of lightness and performance, making it the perfect choice for high-performance soaring and hike-and-fly adventures. Pilots intending to fly the smaller sizes must be experienced speed flyers and all sizes require skills in using the risers for pitch and roll control to maximize the glider’s performance and potential.
THE TECH
Ozone’s pioneering SharkNose technology is at the core of this next generation design, allowing for short take-offs in technical terrain, and overhead stability at increased speeds.
Dominico N10D canopy fabric makes this a featherweight addition to your pack, while a pulley-riser system and enhanced weight-shift characteristics grant ultimate piloting precision.
THE LITE LEGACY
Over the past 20 years of lightweight glider development at Ozone, our ultra-light wings have launched from the summit of Everest, competed in every edition of the X-Alps, and broken vol-biv distance records around the world. The ULX incorporates this history into a compact, high-performance mini-wing that merges Ozone’s “Speed” category with our highest performing broad scale glider technology.
