INNOVATIONS

Throughout its history, Niviuk has redefined the concept of performance, safety and design in all its products and for all pilots.

Our aim is to remain at the cutting edge, producing gliders that allow us to fly higher and further. We take care of the small details to create great stories together. Ambition and endeavour are part of our DNA. That’s why we are passionate about pushing boundaries and, above all, doing it as a team.

We are firmly committed to development and innovation, positioning ourselves as a leading company in the sector.

The Niviuk philosophy is based on the understanding that only dedication and effort can achieve the best results. In our facilities, we have brought together pilots, test pilots, designers, engineers and software programmers to bring you the “Amazing Adventures” that we are known for.

OHP

Orikami High-Efficiency Protector Technology

Orikami is the revolutionary new protector technology developed by Niviuk’s R&D team. It has been incorporated into to the back protector of our new Drifter 2 harness, and it is the thinnest and most efficient on the market. At only 5.5 cm thick, it is EN and LTF approved.

RSD

Radial Sliced Diagonal

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.

RAM

RAM Air Intake

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.

PKS

Parakite System

With the Jester, we use the new Parakite System (PKS) for the risers, which connects the brakes to a pulley system that lets you adjust the angle of attack.

IKS

Interlock System

The IKS (Interlock System) is a connection system that allows the risers to be connected to different parts of the wing, such as the lines or the harness. The IKS technology is a step towards greater lightness in wings and equipment, without sacrificing effectiveness and providing the same degree of safety and strength. Niviuk has developed the IKS 1000, the Easy IKS 2500 and the IKS 3000, each designed to connect different parts of the wing.

TNT

Titanium Technology

Nitinol is a combination of 50% nickel and 50% titanium. The incorporation of Nitinol rods in the profile increases the performance of the wing.

SLE

Structured Leading Edge

Nitinol rods in the leading edge make up the SLE. This technology provides greater solidity and stability to maintain its shape in all phases of flight. This increases performance, efficiency and stability, absorbs turbulence better and makes the wing much more durable over time.

SMC

Structured Middle Chord

Ninitol rods in the middle-rear part of the profile form the SMC. This technology gives much more solidity and stability to maintain its shape. The profile is taut at all times, without creases, and fully optimised for all flight phases. Increases performance and makes the wing much more durable over time.

STE

Structured Trailing Edge

Nitinol rods at the trailing edge form the STE. Thanks to this technology, it maintains its shape in accelerated flight. The rigidity provided by these elements improves the load distribution, reducing creases, and consequently drag, and therefore ensuring better performance.

3DL

3D Leading Edge

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.

3DP

3D Pattern Cut Optimization

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.

DES

Double Effect System

The DES is a system that allows you to link the trimmers of the rear risers (C and D) with the speed-bar. From the start, the DES holds the wing in the trim position, and as it is released, it accelerates by lowering the A and B-risers and raising the rear risers.

DRS

Drag Reduction Structure

The DRS aims to reduce drag and the adverse pressure gradient by optimising the aerodynamic shape of the wing. With its application, the direction of airflow is much more progressive at the trailing edge. This increases performance without compromising safety or handling.

ELS

Ear Lock System

The ELS is a big ear locking system which provides a simple and effective solution for the tandem/dual pilot when quick descents are required.

RSP

Reflex System Profile

The RSP is a profile morphologically designed to fit the technical characteristics of paramotor gliders. Solid in character, it provides greater pitch stability and more safety for the pilot, especially at high speeds.

C2B

C2B System

Manoeuvrability has been improved with the new C2B system that is integrated into the risers, and which allows a three-liner wing to be flown as if it were a two-liner. Steering with the C-risers automatically includes the B-risers. As a result, the wing has a much more efficient, controlled and precise handling without degrading the shape of the profile.
