- Turbofan Troubles: Turbofan engines are have a loud and distinctive roar, making them easy to track, and the open turbines can be at risk of sucking up debris or unwary mechanics.
- Showboat: The XV-12 is in no way designed for heavy combat, having no stock arms or armor installed to protect the driver or the very exposed engines from direct attack.
The XV-12 Performance Airspeeder is the latest in a long line of Narglatch AirTech modular airspeeder models, this particular version being designed after classic muscle-speeders and luxury cruisers. This combination of power and style has made the XV-12 a popular choice among high end flyers and garage tinkerers alike, especially since modifiable construction kits are also readily available. The power in the XV-12 comes from the dual underslung turbofan engines, similar to those used on swoop bikes and pod racers, combined with an enhance repulsor base and maneuvering thrusters.
