The Freedom X is a 39% double surface (exposed crossbar) no-top-rigging hang glider.
It features Carbon tube Leading Edges, Carbon low-drag airfoil Struts, low-drag Control Frame, Streamline Cross Bar and two Washout Supports per side for pitch stability.
3 sizes are now available! We believe it to be the finest exposed X-bar, strutted recreational flex wing in the market today. The FREEDOM X is an intermediate to advanced hang glider.
REFINED SAIL DESIGN
The Freedom X achieves exceptional low speed performance and superb handling for many reasons. It’s sail body and cut are composed of a carefully selected and applied, industry-proven design of the latest materials that are matched to the leading edge curve.
The sail features a leading edge pocket reinforced with a mylar insert sheet. Drag is reduced and performance is increased with a highly refined sail, streamlined tubing, clean hardware and low twist. These features combine to ensure good usable flight performance and stability.
FLY HIGH AND FAR!
We believe the Freedom X to be one of the finest recreational flex-wing gliders available on the market today. It achieves exceptional performance and very good handling for many reasons. Our gliders have a sail cut that is carefully matched to the leading edge bend and precisely designed airfoil, floating crossbar and mylar-reinforced leading edge pockets.
These features combine to ensure a good usable glide angle, an excellent sink rate, and a broad speed range making the Freedom X both an excellent intermediate soaring wing and a reliable cross country glider.
