Ozone Viper XC: High-Performance Cross-Country Excellence
The Ozone Viper XC is engineered for advanced pilots who live for expedition and adventure flying. It distills the World Championship-winning speed, agility, and performance of the Viper series into a package that is significantly more comfortable and easier to manage for daily use. Whether you are racing across states or exploring remote mountain ranges, the Viper XC provides the efficiency needed to fly further with less fatigue.
"On-Rails" Stability with Winglet Technology
To maximize efficiency during long transitions, the Viper XC features integrated Winglet Technology. These winglets dramatically increase roll and spiral stability, effectively eliminating the "hunting" or oscillations often found in high-aspect wings. This creates an "on-rails" feeling that allows for hands-off cruising in active air, making it the most stable and straight-tracking XC wing Ozone has ever produced.
Competition DNA with Adventure-Ready Durability
Equipped with the Ozone Shark Nose reflex profile, the Viper XC remains rock-solid throughout its massive speed range. While it can reach speeds of over 70 km/h, its launch and landing characteristics are remarkably benign for a wing of this caliber. The internal structure is reinforced to maintain aerodynamic integrity at high speeds, while the line set is optimized for a balance of low drag and durability, featuring sheathed lower lines for easier handling in rugged environments.
Advanced Control Systems
Tailor your flight experience with a sophisticated riser system that includes 2D Steering for surgical precision at high speeds. This allows pilots to adjust the wing's trajectory and bank angle without deforming the efficient reflex profile. The Viper XC is the perfect tool for pilots stepping up from the Speedster or Roadster who want competition-level glide performance without the high-stress workload of a pure competition wing.
