The extremely high area loading through the additional weight of the motor brings even the GRAVITY Xrocket to its load limits. Pay attention to the extended engine weight range which changes/ alters the take-off and landing speed considerably. Currently GRAVITY Xrocket is... -

Page 17: Colours And Design
Colours and Design_ “Never change a winning horse!” One of the unique selling points of the GRAVITY product range is that each glider product is only available in a single lead design and comes without colour variations or special designs. -
Page 18: Riser Belt
The A- and B-risers have different colours to ensure positive identification at take-off and during a B-stall decent. Other adjustable, removable or variable mechanisms are non-existent. Number of risers: 3+1. The risers of the GRAVITY Xrocket are made out of 10mm dyneme tube webbing Illustration 10_ hybrid risers sketch... -
Page 19: Speed/ Acceleration System
Speed/ acceleration system The GRAVITY Xrocket is equipped with a very effective foot extended acceleration speed system. It increases the speed when applied up to approx. 15 km/h depending on the wing size and pilot weight resp. surface loading. Through the level steered speed system, the profile form is maintained there- fore the outstanding flight features are kept even in high speed. -
Page 20: The Flight
(cap is arched with an opened leading edge at the start) e) wind and airspace (wind suitable for take-off, free airspace) The center of the screen of the GRAVITY Xrocket is identified by the GRAVITY logo on the leading edge. -
Page 21: Turning
Prepare yourself for landing already in sufficient height. Thanks to its excellent flare properties, the GRAVITY Xrocket is easy to land if you brake at the right moment. From a straight final approach to the wind, you let the paraglider slide with normal speed and straighten up in time in the harness. -
Page 22: Rapid Decent
We recommend not to simply let the risers snap shut as this puts an enormous load on fabric, sewing and lines. In the paragraph titled “advanced handling” you can read what to do if unexpectedly caught in a stall. USER MANUAL GRAVITY Xrocket EN REV.V01 - 2020... -
Page 23: Advanced Handlings
Spiral Dive As with a normal turn, initiating the spiral dive is very easy with the GRAVITY Xrocket. The spiral dive leads to very good sink rates (up to 15-20 m/sec). To safely use the spiral dive when necessary it should be practised in calm conditions. -
Page 24: Front Collapse
A negative angle of attack caused by turbulences of the simultaneous pull-down of the a- risers by the pilot, results in a frontal collapse of the leading edge. The GRAVITY Xrocket comes out of a front- stall by itself very quickly. Smooth and symmetric applying of the brake positively influences the re-opening of the canopy. -
Page 25: Negative Turn/ Spin
7.10 Emergency piloting/ control If for some reason it is not possible to control the GRAVITY Xrocket with the brake lines, it can also be controlled and landed very well with the back risers. Turns can be flown with a weight shift, but please pay attention that the glider does not lock in a spiral. -
Page 26: Maintenance And Cleaning
How quickly your GRAVITY Xrocket ages, ultimately depends on how often it is flown, where it is flown, how many UV-hours it accumulates and how carefully and regularly it is cared for. -
Page 27: Recycle
Recycle GRAVITY uses only safe materials and puts a lot of value into saving resources as well as using non-detrimental materials. Nevertheless, the materials used in a paraglider need proper disposal. Please return worn out gliders to GRAVITY airsports & more GmbH or disassemble the glider into its parts and recycle them accordingly. -
