Ondrej Dupal testing proto XC3 in South Africa

Ondrej Dupal has returned once again to one of his favourite winter testing locations, De Aar. With him, he has Gradient’s expected replacement to the highly successful Avax XC2. The design brief for this replacement is a new high-end wing that’s resolutely targeted within the EN D category. We are anticipating a very high performance serial racer to take on the best of the rest in this hotly contested category, combined with all that ‘sweetness’ in both handling and feedback which has become a trade-mark for Gradient.

News has recently been supplied to Burkitt Rudd that Ondrej is very pleased with performance tests of the proto XC3's. What is know is the Gradient team has two protos with different aspect ratios, one with 6.5 and the other 6.8. However news about line consumption and layout etc is still a mystery.

The wing should be certified in early 2010!
