Sys’Nav XL: compact technology! Simple, light and efficient.
Ultralight and compact, the SYS’Nav XL can be mounted a wing riser, leg mount, harness shoulder strap, flight deck, tandem spreader, etc, as with other similar Syride varios. It weighs only 81 grams including the new thinner and lighter hook-and-loop fastener strips.
We had to use our 10 years’ experience to fit in the size of a SYS’Nav all the technology to meet the expectations of the pilots without any sacrifices. In search of each available square millimeters to make the most complete and performing vario as possible. The result is clear, the SYS’Nav XL is today the most versatile and lightest instrument on the market. Whether you are a beginner, an XC pilot, a Hike’n’Fly pilot, a Vol Bivouac pilot, an adventurer, a PPG pilot or a competitor, the SYS’Nav XL will be an ideal companion during your entire paragliding career.
A new generation screen:
This is the first thing you’ll notice when you’ll take a SYS’Nav XL in your hands! 30% larger than its little brother’s, the 2.7” screen has an active-matrix reflective technology similar to the one used in the SYS’Evolution.
The SYS’Nav XL is a new instrument in the range of Syride flight instruments, positioned between SYS’Nav V3 and SYS’Evolution. It is not intended to replace the SYS’Nav V3.

Display
The 2.7” screen of the SYS’Nav XL has an active-matrix reflective technology similar to the one used in the SYS’Evolution. The advantages for the pilot are clear:
Optimum readability outdoors (the more sun, the more contrast)
Lower power consumption (80% less than a traditional screen and no need for backlighting)
The resolution of the SYS’Nav XL screen (400×200 pixels) has been dramatically improved. The pilot can display more information and details on the same screen. The display is also more pleasant to the eye.
Screen customization is therefore much more versatile with the SYS’Nav XL, with a wide choice of sizes, resizable items, the ability to add text and frame.
The SYS’Nav XL inherits items from the SYS’Evolution such as the much-appreciated thermal assistant, the competition route summary, the vario graph…
To simplify the pilot’s tasks and limit in-flight handlings, we have added the possibility to change the screen automatically on the SYS’Nav XL depending on the current flight phase: Thermalling, in transition, approaching an airspace or approaching a waypoint’s cylinder. The pilot can now focus on flying instead of manipulating buttons in flight.
Audio
In spite of the bigger screen, we managed to put a 1-Watt speaker into the SYS’Nav XL while respecting the manufacturer’s recommendations to obtain the most perfect sound possible! The pilot will thus have the pleasure to hear the sound of a more harmonious and softer vario. Custom configuration is always possible with our online tool.
Versatile Bluetooth connectivity
– Live tracking on syride.com: https://www.syride.com/en/live (with Syride application using GPS data from the instrument)
– Send your flights automatically to your Syride profile as soon as you land and upload your IGC file to contests (via Syride application)
– Get inflight wind reports on your instrument (via application Syride)
– Scan the QR Code of a navigation route to send it in the SYS’Nav XL (via Syride application)
– Share Vario and GPS data with 3rd party application (such as XCTrack or FlySkyHy) to save battery of your phone/tablet Currently only working with XCTrack
– Connect to external peripherals… More info to come later! J
This connectivity brings a lot of versatility to the instrument and allows to meet the expectations of many pilots (competitors, Hike’n’fly, XC, …). The next chapter is still to be written thanks to the connectivity of the instrument and leaves open many perspectives of evolution for the instrument…
USB-C connectivity
Expected for its simplicity of use and its reversibility, the SYS’Nav XL has now a USB type C plug. A new plastic injection mold had to be produced to support these new evolutions (screen, speaker, USB…). The file management has also been completely revised! It will be possible to communicate with the SYS’PC TOOL software as before, but also to access the flight data (IGC files) as if a USB disk had been connected. The pilot gains in convenience, he will be able to use his existing phone or action cam cable to connect the instrument and will not have to use the SYS’PC Tool software to access the flight files.
Battery & charge manager
The surface of the electronic board has been reduced to accommodate a battery with a capacity 40% higher than the SYS’Nav (850mAh against 600mAh), it is essential to meet the needs of the very energy-hungry speaker. It is the level of the sound volume and the activation of the sink sound that will have the most impact on the battery life of the SYS’Nav XL! The addition of a dedicated charge manager allows to have a very precise state of the battery charge value. Voltage variations will not affect the displayed information.
A more powerful speaker than on the SYS’Evolution:
Integrating a loudspeaker to find the same kind of sound as on the SYS’Evolution was complex. We wanted to keep an output on the front face which allows to avoid losses. In spite of the bigger screen, we managed to put a 1-Watt speaker (0.5 Watt on the SYS’Evolution) while respecting the manufacturer’s recommendations to obtain the most perfect sound possible!
The pilot will thus have the pleasure to hear the sound of a more harmonious and softer vario. Custom configuration is always possible with our online tool, https://www.syride.com/en/variosetup&XL=1
