Supair STEP X: Where Lightness Meets XC Performance
The Supair STEP X (Cross) is the next generation of EN-B+ wings, meticulously designed for pilots who refuse to choose between a lightweight Hike & Fly wing and a robust Cross Country machine. The "X" represents the perfect crossroads of these two disciplines, delivering a wing that is agile, powerful, and built to last through hundreds of hours of thermal flying.
High-Performance Engineering
The STEP X isn't just a lighter version of a standard wing; it's a completely optimized design. By using a tension band between the B and C lines, Supair has improved the surface finish and extended the speed range. The new "finger diagonal" technology ensures even tension distribution, preventing the airfoil from deforming over time and maximizing the wing’s lifespan.
Key Features
- Optimized Materials: A strategic blend of Dominico N20 DMF and 10D fabrics ensures durability on high-stress leading edges while keeping the overall weight low (3.8kg to 4.8kg).
- Rear-Riser Steering: Delivered with integrated C-steering bars, allowing for precise pitch control and efficient glides while using the speed bar, without deforming the wing's profile.
- Advanced Internal Structure: Features a Sharknose airfoil and smart mini-ribs at the trailing edge for reduced drag and improved handling in turbulent thermals.
- Efficient Line Set: A redesigned line branching system reduces total line length, significantly decreasing drag and boosting overall glide performance.
- Accessibility: While it offers "Sport" level performance, the STEP X remains intuitive and reassuring, making it the perfect stepping stone for pilots moving from a LEAF 3 toward EN-C wings.
