SuSi XPed – Ready to explore
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!
SuSi XPed –
Double-coated Dominico DOKDO-10DSF for top and bottom surfaces. A choice that has proven itself in our 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).
Delivered in a VacPack, the latter ensures a reduced volume in your rucksack but should not be used to store the glider.

AirDesign has a small one
We work hard on every model to be able to maintain the behavior of the glider in terms of flying, and also outside the flight envelope, for all the certified weights, starting by the smallest ones. The certification of most of our wings starts at 50 kg because we chose to announce only what we have actually tested. And above all, because we make sure that the glider is efficient, secure and fun at this load and this is as important as the certification itself! Our aim is to have light pilots find the same pleasure to fly as heavier ones.
