SuSi XPed – #lightgearjunkie

Ready to explore

The SuSi XPed takes the SuSi concept further toward expedition, run-and-fly and minimalist hike-and-fly use. It is lighter and faster than the SuSi 4, with an XPed construction focused on reducing carried weight and packed volume while retaining certified sizes across the range.

Cloudbase perspective

The important distinction is that SuSi XPed does not replace SuSi 4. The SuSi 4 remains the broader all-round choice and includes configurations suitable for less experienced pilots; the XPed is aimed more directly at experienced pilots for whom minimum weight, compact packing and faster flying characteristics materially matter. Size selection is critical because loading strongly affects speed and behaviour.

Construction and features

• Double-coated Dominico DOKDO-10DSF top and bottom surfaces
• Weight-optimised internal structure
• Unsheathed, hydrophobic, colour-coded Aramid 8001 Magix Pro Dry lines
• Leading-edge ground attachment loops for steep or slippery launches
• Durable N20 fabric used in part of the leading edge
• Designed for efficient inflation and lift on short or technical launches
• Delivered with VacPack for reduced transport volume

Important: the VacPack is intended for compact transport, not long-term glider storage.

Technical specifications

The SuSi XPed is produced in sizes 13, 16, 18 and 21, with a flat aspect ratio of 4.86 and projected aspect ratio of 3.69. AirDesign’s current published range starts at approximately 1.75 kg, depending on size and configuration. Certification varies by size/loading, spanning EN-B, EN-C and EN-D configurations.

Because the relationship between size, all-up weight, certification and trim speed is central to this wing, contact Cloudbase with your actual take-off weight and intended use before choosing a size.
