Voici des info de Felipe, que j'ai questionné, c'est lui qui répond en direct.
The XCRacer is designed by Felipe Rezende after 18months of intense testing and development. The Korean brand uses a recertification of our original design.
We have received very positive feedback about the performance and easy of use of the XCRacer. It probably has the same level of comfort of the Zeno but it seems to transmit a little more feedback to the pilot. It is very solid on full bar and thermals beautifully.
We just had 3 major comps here in Australia (2 Nationals and 1 PWC) and we had a few pilots flying the XCRacer in all these comps. After many tasks, we have a clear picture of how the XCRacer performs against the competition.
In brief, the XCRacer can keep up with a PWC lead gaggle in strong thermic days and also in weak overcast days. The XCRacer has a very good glide, an outstanding climb which is probably the best of all gliders available in the market right now. Against the Zeno we have 2km/h more of top speed and better glider at speed. We say the XCRacer is the hottest EN D glider available.
Here are some results from the last 2 comps here in Australia.
XCRacer 2nd and 3rd task 1 overall of the Bright Open 2018.

http://highcloud.net/xc/comp_result.php?comPk=240&class=2 In regards to the length of lines, I'd say the lines are neither long nor short. They are very balanced to give a nice handling in thermals and on glide. The glider has a lot of internal tension and it doesn't act as a snake but more like as whole.
et aussi des précisions sur :
1- Some people complain that some gliders do not give enough information from the air they are flying in, the XCRacer in comparison to the Zeno gives a little more information. So we say the glider gives a little more feedback to the pilot, which is a good think and not related to stability. It is only about feeling of the glider.
2- the XCRacer climbs really well and can be flown at the very top of the weight range without compromise in climb. The sweet spot or optimum weigh is 3 kgs bellow the top.
3- very stable and easy to inflate due to its pitch stable profile and internal tensioning.
4- when I say is "hot" is more like a slang. "Hot" or "Sexy". It really means the best in EN D class.
5- glider give enough information. Not too much, not too little. Just perfect amount.
