Icepeak X-One
COMPETITIONCOMPETITIONA greater speed range combined with an impeccable and efficient glide will allow you to be one step ahead of the rest in all competitions.
A modern design and a new airfoil facilitated the creation of a fast, solid and performant wing during all phases of flight.
The new benchmark in the CCC class. Years of research and the implementation of the latest Niviuk technologies positions the new X-One as the most optimised glider ever produced by the brand.

Stand out in all competitions with the best possible performance. A fast and versatile wing that will allow you to get the best results.
Increased top speed.
Improved glide in all conditions.
The X-One is a wing that is easy to master.
More efficient steering with the B risers: when under pressure, it allows easier and more controlled steering when reaching maximum speed. Turning is much easier in any conditions.
Despite its significant aspect ratio, it is a very compact wing.

3DL technology is an adjustment of the fabric at the leading edge of the wing to control the ballooning and the creases that are generated by the curvature in this area. The leading edge is then divided into sub-panels which are sewn into each of the cells at the front of the paraglider. As a result, the leading edge of the wing is perfectly tensioned, which benefits the wing in performance and durability.
A good comparison is a rugby ball. In order to produce its characteristic oval shape without creases, its cover is made of several panels – not of just one piece.
The application of this innovation, in conjunction with the 3DP, is key to converting the perfect shape from 2D to 3D.
The RAM Air Intake system is based on the inward orientation of the air inlets in the profile so that they allow an optimum internal pressure at all angles of attack.
The result? Having greater internal pressure means better buffering of turbulence, greater consistency of the profile shape across the speed range. Excellent handling at low speed is achieved by allowing the pilot to extend the braking limit, so there is a lower risk of collapse and consequently, greater control and stability.
RSD (Radial Sliced Diagonal) technology is a reinvention of the wing’s internal structure. It incorporates independent and efficiently oriented diagonal ribs, which follow the direction of the cloth. This improves the strength, reduces weight and minimises deformation.
These days, in order to improve stress distribution and reduce the number of attachment points and lines, most wings have these diagonal ribs, which are connected from the attachment points to the adjacent profiles.
In conventional diagonal ribs, loading and unloading cycles away from the highest strength axis of the cloth result in a loss of shape, which reduces the cohesion of the wing and therefore aerodynamic efficiency.
This technology seeks to implement the best orientation of the cloth on each panel according to its location on the leading edge. If the cloth pattern is correctly aligned with the load axes, the cloth suffers less deformation flight after flight, so the leading edge maintains its shape better and remains stronger over time.
The design of our paraglider and paramotor wings has evolved a lot over the years, with a positive and specific focus on the leading edge.
Thanks to this technology and 3DL, a perfect modelling of the panels and an exact representation from 2D to 3D is achieved.
Nitinol is a combination of 50% nickel and 50% titanium. The incorporation of Nitinol rods in the profile increases the performance of the wing, especially in three areas:
- Compared to nylon rods, the weight of the wing is reduced by 13%.
- Nitinol has two essential characteristics: shape memory and enormous elasticity. As a result, the rods retain their optimum shape even after an ultra-compact or incorrect folding, so that the wing is not deformed. This will always be the case unless the radius at the point of curvature is less than 1 cm.
- The leading edge shape is much more rigid and uniform which results in a much more consistent and progressive inflation and therefore an easier take off. The profile is taut at all times, without creases, and fully optimised for all flight phases.
In addition, the rods have a plastic protector at their ends to prevent any damage to the fabric of the wing.
Nitinol is now featured in all our wings.
A cleaner leading edge with fewer creases in order to reduce drag. It features an optimised trailing edge with more reinforcements and a new construction method of the wing surface.
The wing has been optimised to achieve better lift for more performance in all flight conditions and to allow higher top speeds.
Adding extra cells has made the wing surface cleaner. Even with increased aspect ratio, the wing is more compact.
With a new wing twist adjustment, the Icepeak X-One is much safer, has more gentle reactions and more speed.
A new internal structure guarantees a better load distribution.
The highest aspect ratio Niviuk has ever had in a certified wing.
The optimisation of the risers allows for a much more progressive acceleration.
The new Ergo handles make steering more intuitive and efficient especially at high speed.
