Skywalk X-ALPS 6 competition paraglider

The X-ALPS6 is much more than just a paraglider: it is a high-performance tool designed for pilots who need to be able to rely on every detail. Designed to meet the extreme demands of the Red Bull X-Alps, it stands out for its exceptional performance over long distances, precise handling in demanding conditions, and reliable takeoffs, even on the most challenging terrain.

Thanks to its ultra-lightweight construction and extremely compact size when folded, the X-ALPS6 is the ideal companion for intensive Hike & Fly stages, where every gram counts and maximum efficiency is paramount. This wing embodies pure performance ambition: it is made for pilots with high goals.

In flight

The X-ALPS6 impresses with exceptionally easy takeoff behavior for its class. Its ultra-light wing sets up cleanly above the pilot with very little effort, ensuring reliable takeoffs even in demanding conditions.

In thermal conditions, it reveals a playful character: low control pressure, direct response, and intuitive centering are reminiscent of the well-known handling of the SAGE —sensitive, intuitive, and precise.

But when you accelerate, the X-ALPS6 reveals its full potential, in the purest POISON tradition: thanks to its excellent intrinsic stability, the wing efficiently cuts through turbulent air, transforming air mass movements into altitude gain and remaining perfectly controllable at all times. The B-control piloting system allows for active and energy-efficient piloting, ideal for long transition phases where efficiency is paramount.

A completely new profile, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, and optimized stress distribution result in significantly higher performance and a significantly higher top speed—a valuable reserve that ambitious hike & fly pilots and X-Alps competitors can rely on in critical moments.

Ready to take off anywhere, confident in all air masses.

Details

2 lines with B-Steering

Reduction in the number of lines and associated drag. Enables a fast and particularly efficient flying style.
Advantages: increased performance, total control in accelerated flight, and improved visibility during takeoff.

3D Shaping

Advantages: extremely precise wing shape and improved performance.

Shark Nose

Combined with a suitable wing design, Shark Nose technology significantly improves internal pressure distribution.
Advantages: a much more solid flying sensation and significant performance gains, especially in accelerated flight.

Mini ribs

Doubling the number of cells at the trailing edge significantly improves the stability of this area.
Advantage: reduced vortices, improved aerodynamic efficiency, and increased performance.

Rigid Foil

Nylon and nitinol rods keep the leading edge and profile perfectly shaped and ensure constant internal pressure.
Advantages: optimized takeoff behavior and superior performance.
