A new high-performance tandem from Axis is designed mainly for long XC-flights.

Pilot Profile:

Tandem pilots doing long XC-flights looking for performance, good maneuverability, easy piloting and high safety.

The Axis Vega XCT is a high-performance tandem paraglider engineered specifically for long cross-country flights. Built on the legacy of previous successful tandems and leveraging the latest technology from their solo EN-C and EN-D lines, it offers top-tier performance while maintaining EN-C class safety. Key features include a shark nose profile, double rod reinforcement in the leading edge, and V-slip-knot steering for lighter brake pressures. Additionally, it offers an innovative ZIPPER option that allows the pilot to reduce the wing area by approximately 3 square meters for lighter passengers.
