Description
LIGHTLESS PERFORMANCE
The X2C LT combines lightness together with high performance. For the development of the X2C LT Alex Höllwarth benefits from his long time experience in designing light gliders with top edge performance. With the successful combination of careful selected materials for line and sail together with the known and already appreciated ZOOM handling the X2C LT is unique in the EN C sportsclass. Flying the X2C LT pilots will appreciate the lightless in an crisp combination with high performance.
LIGHT
& ROBUST
With its sophisticated mix in line- and sailfabrics the X2C LT and its low weight is easy and light enough to carry it even to exposed launching sites. On the other hand Alex decided to keep the X2C LT robust by not pushing it to the lowest weight limits. Some certain sail areas as well as some lines have been strengthened to cope with harsh and demanding hike and fly activities. This makes the X2C LT a perfect choice for pilots who are looking for a high performance XC and hike and fly wing.
SUITABILITY
PILOT PROFILE
The ZOOM X2C LT is a perfect wing for experienced XC and Hike and Fly enthusiasts who are looking for an robust but still light and easy to carry wing. With its outstanding performance together with its sophisticated material mix, the X2C LT is a perfect choice for distance XC flights and demanding Hike & Fly events.

FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS
PRECISON AND LIGHTNESS
Due to the low weight of the X2C LT, the launching ability has been improved significantly. The wing needs very little input to fill and rise. This makes this high performance wing perfect for demanding launching sites in high alpine terrain. The unique ZooM thermal handling, which is already valued from pilots on the X2C, could be redefined even further on the X2C LT. In thermals the lightwing can be flown with pleasant low but precise brake handling, which pressure progressively increases throughout its range. The pilot gets perfect feedback from the glider at any time meaning the pilot can concentrate on tactical flying. During accelerated flight, even in tough conditions, the X2C LT shows its high stability together with its outstanding performance. This makes the X2C LT an real competitor for any XC and Hike & Fly events.
SAFETY
LIGHT AND SAFE
Despite its high performance the X2C LT does not push the safety envelope of the EN-C 2 liner class. Even after a significant collapse the X2C LT is easily controllable with the well-defined brake pressure remaining brake length. Especially the slow flight and stall characteristics of the X2C LT are well designed and makes top landings in high alpine areas very easygoing and stress free.
