Caldaro ViperXT Joystick Grip

The latest addition to the Viper family is ViperXT – a joystick grip allowing up to three analog controls, of which two can be used simultaneously.

November 26, 2018

One of the appreciated features of ViperXT is the true two-component molded grip, the result of an advanced molding procedure which combines two automotive engineering plastics and also bonds them strongly to one another. It provides a strong base structure with a semi-soft skin for more control and comfortability as well as an utterly tight encapsulation.
