Speed chart (Trimspeed)
How to choose your size – using the speed-chart
Simply, put in your Takeoff-weight – then the chart shows you at which speed each size is flying!
NOTE: in general, a trim-speed of around 37 km/h is said to be a standard speed for any paraglider – this speed balances all glider behaviours and pilot demands best.
Loading up the wing will increase the glider’s trim speed.This requires high pilot skills for launching and landing.
If you are in the fields indicated in grey, you are below the certified range (still covered within EN-926-1)
If you are looking for a kind of intermediate style – like having best combination of speed and take-off simplicity – then choose your size within the light green indicated fields.
Dark green indication shows already advanced trim-speeds which are giving more agility, dynamic and speed in a controlled manner.
Loading the wing up (in red and dark red) the gliders trim-speed will get faster – at the max-top loading even like a speed flyer! You should have the appropriate experience and skills.

SuSi XPed – #lightgearjunkie
SuSi is back. Back to its original roots: an all-round glider, light and fun.
The SuSi XPed is the first product from the Expedition series (XPed) to be introduced.
Since the SuSi has its name and created its own class of gliders, the name XPed calls itself for being the lightest and toughest equipment for the most extreme and remote adventures.
Weighing in at just 1.62 kg and designed for exploration, the SuSi XPed is also featuring an elevated sense of enjoyment. After all, that’s what it’s all about.
Feel. Explore. And enjoy!
Designer’s notes
By making the SuSi lighter and much faster while keeping its DNA, we allow the pilots to go much further in all their projects. This is why we chose the claim “Ready to explore” and the hashtag #lightgearjunkie. The SuSi XPed will already give you the smile while you get ready for your next expedition. Just go for it!
-Stephan Stiegler, Designer
Construction & features
- Double-coated Dominico DOKDO-10DSF for top and bottom surfaces. A choice that has proven itself in AirDesign Superlight gliders range.
- Optimized internal structure to save weight. Each gram counts!
- Unsheathed, hydrophobic and color-coded Aramid 8001 Magix Pro Dry lines. Solidity has never been so easy to untangle.
- Ground attachment loops on the leading edge to prevent the paraglider from slipping on a steep and/or slippery slope (snow).
- Evident inflation, efficient lift: ideal for short and tricky takeoffs.
- Delivered in a VacPack, the latter ensures a reduced volume in your rucksack but should not be used to store the glider.
