Here is the lightweight version of the EN C 2 line X2C that many have been waiting for! 1.2kg lighter than the normal version! The Skytex 27g fabric is showing more and more that it is very durable and reliable due to the double coating. So there are only advantages to having such a lightweight glider!
The X2C LT combines moderate lightness with top performance. Alex Höllwarth used his many years of experience in the design of high-performance lightweight paragliders to develop the lightweight version of the X2C. The successful mix of sail and line materials with the familiar and appreciated ZOOM handling make the X2C LT unique in the EN C sport class. X2C LT pilots will appreciate the low weight combined with the exceptionally high performance in this class.

ZOOM X2C LT: LIGHT SPORTCLASS XC 2-LINER
LIGHTLESS 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 AND 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.
Target pilot group
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.
PERFORMANCE & SAFETY - ASPECTS
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.
Features
Shark Nose - optimized airflow at the leading edge
Rigidfoil - wrikle free wing at leading edge
Dual 3D Shaping - Reduced ballooning and wrikle free wing at leading edge
LE (Leading edge) Miniribs - made of internal stitch technique – enhances the wrinkle free finish of the leading edge. Results in top glide performance especially during accelerated flying.
TE (Trailing edge) Miniribs - made of internal stitch technique – enhances static stability on the trailing edge of the wing.
Dirthole
Airflow simulation software by Hannes Papesh – performance increase due to optimized cell design and wing canopy finish.
Flybubble review
The ZOOM XC2 LT is a lighter version of the ZOOM X2C. We had the opportunity to fly the ZOOM X2C extensively in the UK just before heading to Colombia in February 2024. This gave us a chance to push the glider and get to know it well in various conditions. If you haven't flown in Colombia, the conditions are quite varied. It's like a really good day in the UK almost every day. We experienced everything from very light, scratchy conditions and a couple of cloudy, weak days to sporty climbs of 6-7 m/s, with some parts involving throwing reserves and having big collapses. This made for an excellent test of the wing.
