Located in Cape Hatteras. No bots.The X-Wing Performance sits above the XPS as Armstrong’s next step in high-performance wing design, delivering lighter handling, refined power and effortless speed for riders pushing into faster, more efficient riding.
Introducing the X-Wing Performance: Proven Performance, Evolved
The X-Wing Performance marks the next step in Armstrong’s high-performance wing evolution. Designed for riders pushing into faster, more efficient riding, it delivers refined power, lighter handling, and a composed, intuitive feel.
Positioned above the XPS in the range, it offers a more efficient, higher aspect platform that excels when riding powered, generating speed, glide, and control without compromising the signature Armstrong handling.
Built for riders who want to push their riding further, the X-Wing delivers increased forward drive with smooth, controlled power delivery. It generates speed efficiently while maintaining a predictable, composed feel, giving riders the confidence to ride harder and faster.
Rather than aggressive or overpowering, the power builds progressively, creating a natural connection between rider and wing.
At under 2 kg, the X Wing feels noticeably lighter in hand, particularly in larger sizes where weight savings make the biggest difference.
The advanced material construction balances lightweight handling with long term durability, delivering a wing that feels responsive in motion while remaining strong under load.
The higher aspect design and refined airframe improve glide, reduce drag, and make generating apparent wind more effortless. Transitions feel smoother, manoeuvres feel lighter, and the wing maintains speed with less input.
In the 12 to 18 knot range, the efficiency really comes to life, offering a fast, fluid riding experience with minimal effort.
The canopy is engineered to handle increased loads with minimal distortion, delivering clean release and consistent drive.
While the higher aspect ratio enhances efficiency, it also brings a more reactive feel at higher speeds. Riders looking for maximum stability in strong wind may still prefer the XPS MKII, while the X-Wing excels when efficiency and performance are the priority.
Four compact windows improve visibility into blind spots, adding confidence in busy conditions.
Following the Dyna Link system, the X-Wing is offered in a boom only configuration, allowing riders to customise their setup.
Sitting above the XPS in the range, the X-Wing Performance is built for riders prioritising speed, efficiency, and refined power delivery.
It is not a replacement, but a progression. A higher performance option for when conditions and riding style demand more.
