ZOOM XB LT – Lightweight, precise, and XC-ready
The XB LT is a particularly lightweight low-B glider with an aspect ratio of 5.15 and weighs only 3.15 kg (size 85, take-off weight 65–90 kg). Its small packing volume and well-thought-out lightweight design make it the perfect companion for ambitious hike & fly tours as well as for budding XC pilots who don’t want to compromise on performance.
The upper and lower surfaces are made entirely from robust yet light Dokdo D10 25g fabric, while the internal structure uses Skytex 27 – a proven material mix offering durability and minimal weight. With optional lightweight risers, the weight can be reduced by an additional 150 grams.
Top-tier technology – Performance without compromise
The XB LT features 49 cells with additional miniribs at the leading and trailing edges for improved profile integrity and enhanced aerodynamics thanks to dual 3D shaping. The riser-integrated BC control enables fast and efficient flying even in turbulent air.
Direct and precise handling
ZOOM stands for especially direct and well-defined control response – a quality that is clearly evident in the XB LT. The handling is precise yet forgiving – ideal for pilots who value clear feedback without sacrificing safety.
Top performance in the light-intermediate class
Thanks to its exceptionally good glide performance for this class, the XB LT offers impressive efficiency both in thermals and on long glides. This makes it not only a safe choice for hike & fly adventures but also the ideal partner for early XC flights.
Sizes & weight ranges:
The XB LT is available in six sizes and covers a total weight range from 55 to 135 kg.
