🕵️ Discover the Niviuk Sherlock: Intelligence Meets Performance in Paragliding

Engineered with smart design and cutting-edge performance, the Niviuk Sherlock elevates your flying experience to new heights. Whether you’re a seasoned XC enthusiast or an ambitious beginner aiming for longer, more efficient flights, this flight instrument acts as your intelligent co-pilot. With precision sensors, seamless connectivity, and pilot-focused ergonomics, Sherlock is built to guide, inform, and empower every decision you make in the sky.

🔍 Purpose-Built for Real Flight Conditions

Intelligent Sensors for In-Flight Accuracy

Accuracy is non-negotiable when you’re navigating thermals, ridges, or complex weather conditions. That’s why the Niviuk Sherlock integrates highly responsive altimeters, variometers, and GPS modules. Since these tools sync seamlessly, you benefit from precise altitude, speed, and lift rate data throughout your entire flight. Consequently, you can focus on performance while Sherlock delivers reliable readings every second. Furthermore, these data points enhance your confidence as you glide through ever-changing skies.

Connectivity That Expands Possibilities

Because modern flight demands modern tools, Sherlock supports Bluetooth and USB connectivity. As a result, pairing it with smartphones, flight apps, and backup navigation devices is effortless. Moreover, firmware updates keep the system evolving without hassle. Additionally, integration with cloud-based tools ensures that your flight logs and settings remain accessible and synchronized.

🛠️ Designed for Simplicity, Built for Complexity

Easy Interface, Deep Functionality

Although the Sherlock’s interface is streamlined, its backend power is substantial. With a few intuitive taps, you access detailed flight stats, thermal mapping, and navigation routes. Additionally, the anti-glare screen and tactile buttons ensure ease of use under any lighting condition or with gloves on. Moreover, this simple interface enhances pilot focus by eliminating distractions mid-flight.

Ready for All Levels

Whether you are an entry-level pilot or a cross-country veteran, the Niviuk Sherlock adapts. Its modular menu system allows you to customize settings based on skill level and flight objectives. Therefore, you fly with what you need and nothing more. Furthermore, this scalability allows pilots to grow with the device rather than outgrowing it.

In addition, these timely updates help prevent fatigue by reducing the mental workload of monitoring multiple instruments.

When thermals shift or strengthen, Sherlock doesn’t just tell you—it helps you center. Through dynamic mapping and audio cues, you stay positioned for maximum lift. Moreover, this feature boosts flight efficiency and increases your XC potential. Therefore, you can extend your range and conserve energy with precision.

Therefore, everyone can enjoy equal access to top-tier tech in the air. Moreover, this focus on inclusivity ensures Sherlock is a tool built for the entire flying community.

⚙️ Built to Withstand and Excel

Although it’s sleek, Sherlock is built tough. Made with durable, weather-resistant materials, it handles rain, sun, and temperature swings with ease. As a result, it remains a reliable part of your flight kit across seasons and climates. Furthermore, it resists wear and tear even with daily use.

Long Battery Life

You’ll appreciate how Sherlock stays powered for the entire duration of long flights. With efficient power management, it offers extended battery life even with multiple sensors running. Moreover, it charges quickly via USB when you’re back on the ground. Consequently, you spend more time flying and less time charging.

Tandem professionals

The Sherlock is a very practical harness for everyday use by professional tandem pilots. Comfortable, easy-to-use and durable. It is the perfect partner for our passenger harness, the Watson 2.

Niviuk Sherlock Features

Integrated parachute

The Sherlock has space for an integrated emergency parachute, placed at the rear of the backrest and easily accessible. The parachute’s V-bridle is also fully integrated into the shoulder straps, significantly enhancing practicality.

Niviuk Sherlock Simple and fast

The T-Lock system that secures the pilot in the harness consists of two Edelrid buckles. This system has been specially designed to offer maximum safety and simplicity.

Space and accessibility

The design includes several practical compartments: a large back pocket for storage and side pockets for photographic equipment (cameras, SD cards, etc.) designed for quick and safe access.

A zip has also been added to allow direct access to the airbag and where you can store the Koli Bag, our ultra-fast packing bag (although be aware that the airbag protector can be damaged if misused).

Niviuk Sherlock Functional and easy-to-use

The Sherlock has been designed with the aim of integrating every detail, ensuring that everything is in its place, with no element protruding. For example, it has camera pockets on both sides of the harness, so you can store your camera where it suits you best.

Niviuk Sherlock Durable and robust

It offers a good compromise between light weight (from 2.80 kg) and durability. Made of durable materials for use on an infinite number of flights. In addition, the cover protecting the airbag can be replaced in the event of damage.

Comfort assured

The Sherlock offers a high level of comfort for long working days. The semi-rigid structure of the backrest and seat mould perfectly to the body and provide excellent support. The harness is very compact and ergonomic, with split leg loops and support right down to the knees.

Niviuk Sherlock Safety: what’s your preference?

The Sherlock offers the possibility of using two types of protector: airbag or foam.

The new airbag protector, pre-inflated at launch thanks to the incorporated Nitinol rods, keeps its shape in any situation. It guarantees maximum safety with excellent results during impact tests.

Although the airbag already provides outstanding protection, the Sherlock also comes with a foam protector –divided into 2 parts– that is placed inside the airbag.

The harness is certified with and without the foam protector. Relax in flight with a technologically advanced protector that fits your preferences.
