As we all know times are changing in our sport. The mandatory rule of flying EN-D certified wings in world class competitions has given rise to a totally new challenge. That challenge is to be able to apply all our years of knowledge in research design and technology to create a new profile capable of achieving a wing with EN-D Certification.
Niviuk have met that challenge and we are very proud to present to you our answer, an all new paraglider for an all new era, the ICEPEAK 6.
Created from a blank drawing board the ICEPEAK 6 has a completely new profile capable of meeting even the most exacting EN standards. Yet again from the very ground up our R+D team have been able to create a high performance profile with new innovations and final unsurpassed results.
Using the experience we have gained during the development and creation of high performance profiles such as the Peak, which was the first ever 3 liner wing to be certified, and the proven advantages of the SLE as applied to the original ICEPEAK we are able to evolve and apply such Niviuk innovations to the all-new ICEPEAK 6 offering you the highest level of EN –D certified excellence.
The many hours of intense hard work undertaken by all of our R+D team have ensured that the ICEPEAK 6 will be ready for the beginning of the new year, proving our total commitment to pilots and also confirming our absolute desire to continue to develop, innovate, improve and excel.
It is only the unique knowledge and experience of our R+D team who are able to apply the evolution of our 2 line technology to this all new profile. We have created a supremely high performance EN-D certified wing with even more piloting precision and an incredibly low sink rate and yet we have maintained the classic Niviuk feel, always finding the right line.
A moderate aspect ratio ensures that the ICEPEAK 6 is very manoeuvrable and very solid in turbulent air. Its behaviour in the air is predictable and the feedback remains balanced throughout all aspects of flight resulting in ultimate pilot confidence. Supreme performance yet exceeding all EN-D certification expectations, all this defines the ICEPEAK 6 our Serial Class Competition Glider for a new era.
The ICEPEAK 6 is the absolute answer to the current Serial Class Competition challenge, a new profile more than capable of taking you to the highest point on the podium or exceeding your cross country expectations.
The first units of the ICEPEAK 6 will be available for the ABAC NIVIUK TEAM at the super final in Valle de Bravo in Mexico at the end of this month.
