The Navajo can be configured with the optional Sand Tires kit, for ease of takeoff and landing on rough terrain.
The Navajo has a streamlined instrument pod with ample space for gauges, electronic flight information systems, and many switches.
The instrument pod also includes 12V DC, to power your GPS or other 12V devices.
This option is a must for the professional instructor.
Not only does it have dual steering, it also has a throttle linkage on the right front bar. Our steering bar is made of 4130 steel, and can be used as a step to get into the back seat; some trike brands are too weak to do that.
The most unique quality in the Navajo design is the strong and durable welded chrome-moly and steel spine (back frame). All other major trike parts either bolt on, or plug into this fixture. This makes the Navajo less expensive to repair and easy to work on. If you happen to have an incident while training where you might damage the trike, less expensive parts may need to be replaced and not the main supporting structure.
The dual mast design of the Navajo allows for unsurpassed headroom in the rear seat. Most other trikes will force you to bend your neck forward to not to hit the center mast.
The pivot point of the dual mast is mounted low, making it super easy to mount the wing.
The Sport X2 features a dual pultuded fiberglass rod suspension.
The unique elliptical shape offers terrific flexing of the suspension upwards, while providing no flex to the rear.
Single fiberglass axles flex rearwards and wear the tires out. The fiberglass suspension provides soft and positive landings.

The new hydraulic disc brake system for the Navajo trike is... awesome!
Dual Rear Brakes are also available.
This brake system will provide smooth, positive braking while applying just 1/2 of the pressure needed with the drum brake.
If you have a drum brake or small mechanical disc brake, you can upgrade your existing Navajo. If you have the early 6" rim front end, you will also need a new 8" rim and tire.
Spring-assist Mast
Sore back? Tired of lifting a 110-pound wing into the air? The Sport X2 Navajo includes gas-assist springs to aid you in lifting your wing up! No longer do you need to lift 100+ pounds into the air; with the springs attached, you will be lifting less than 20 pounds.
We also have a retro-fit kit for you, if you already have an older Navajo.
The Navajo's front fork and suspension system has been further improved by an adjustable Steering Dampener to minimize front-end shimmy during fast landings or crosswinds. Its suspension (shocks) is of our own design, crafted of elastomer spring material such as used on commercial aircraft and mountain bikes. You will appreciate the solid yet responsive feel of our trailing link system. Best of all, the whole fork assembly is made of thick 6061 aluminum plates that bolt together, so parts can be easily replaced if necessary after a hard landing.
The Navajo offers you a folding front seat back rest, allowing easy access to the rear seat. Also notice the 3-point harness for the rear seat, and 4-point harness for the front.
This is a nice feature. After seeing the difficulty of adding fuel to most trikes, we had our own tank made. This allows us to put the fuel filler in a most accessible place.
Our trikes that have electric start will come equipped with an electrical fuse box. This box makes it very easy to add options, such as strobes and radios. We also use only the highest quality "Keywest" regulator.

Why fly a quality North Wing?
The Sport X2 · Navajo 2-place Light Sport Trike has all of the qualities of the
Sport X2 · Apache trike, but is built for the outback pilot. When you have places to see and everywhere to go, this is your trike!
The Navajo airframe is a revolutionary design incorporating sport aircraft design suspension, welded 4130 aircraft steel main structure (Back Frame), 4130 dual mast and trailing link front steering. Unlike the tube-and-plate constructed trikes with their single mast, drag struts, side support cables and bungee cord suspension, the Navajo airframe will maintain its structural integrity for years to come. You can enjoy years of sturdy and confident flying knowing your trikes' rugged and well-designed suspension won't get worn out. The Navajo can be ordered with a variety of options.
The Navajo streamlined instrument pod provides a large layout area of gauges and optional 12V DC power for your GPS. Here you also see the rugged yet keen design of the Navajo front fork wheel system. You will appreciate the solid yet responsive feel of its trailing link suspension. The front suspension works so well, it survived a full front wheel landing at 60 mph!
