XIX Sens

The XIX Sens is a series of Swiss single-place paragliders, that was designed by Michi Kobler and produced by XIX GmbH of Kronbühl in the mid-2000s. It is now out of production.

Design and development
The Sens was designed as a competition performance glider. The design progressed through several generations of models, each improving on the last. The models are each named for their relative size.

The Sens-C3 version was introduced in 2003 to replace the Sens 2.
