Niviuk Arrow P Race Geometry, Streamlined Comfort
Because race performance demands ergonomic harmony, the Arrow P Race’s geometry promotes an aerodynamic posture while maintaining excellent pilot feedback. Moreover, the tailored pod enclosure minimizes frontal drag and helps you stay locked into your ideal glide angle. Therefore, both seasoned competitors and ambitious adventurers can achieve higher performance without sacrificing comfort.
Built from Competition DNA
Drawing design cues from the original Arrow Race, the “P” version goes further by stripping every non-essential gram. Nevertheless, it preserves structure in high-load zones and adds reinforcements only where essential. This results in a refined structure that excels during fast descents, turbulent transitions, and thermal climbs alike.Niviuk Arrow P Race
Adapted for Lightweight Missions
Of course, racing isn’t the only place the Arrow P Race excels. It’s also a dream for ultralight explorers. Because it compresses to a small volume and weighs so little, it’s ideal for pilots who want to hike deep into remote terrain before launching. Furthermore, the optional lightweight reserve and hydration solutions enhance long-range flight readiness.
Enhanced In-Flight Control and Feedback
Although it’s designed for minimalism, the Arrow P Race provides remarkable in-flight control. This is primarily due to its responsive geometry and tensioning, which deliver immediate feedback from wing inputs. As a result, you gain a stronger connection to your glider, particularly in active air.
Built for Inclusive Progression
Whether you’re chasing podium finishes or personal records, the Arrow P Race adapts to you. Adjustable pod features make it easy for pilots of various sizes to find the perfect fit. Importantly, Niviuk Arrow P Race sizing spectrum ensures comfort, safety, and peak performance for all body types. So, you can focus less on setup and more on execution.

Flybubble Note: Ultra-light gear must be handled with care to extend its lifespan. Mechanical stresses and improper handling can cause faster wear and tear compared to standard-weight gear. Designed for hike and fly activities, ultra-light gear prioritizes weight savings over durability and other factors. To avoid damage, refrain from extreme activities or excessive ground handling. Gentle treatment is crucial for longevity and safe operation.

Target
Competition
The Arrow P Race is designed for competition pilots. It is the ideal companion during competitions, especially hike & fly races. Aerodynamics, high performance and low weight will assist you to achieve your best results.
Niviuk Arrow P Race Features
Choose the one that suits you best
Unlike the Arrow P, in order to prioritise its lightness and meet the requirements at a competitive level, the Arrow P Race does not offer the possibility of adjusting the ventral strap or removing the fairing. However, the shoulder, back and lumbar straps can be adjusted to adapt the angle and the harness to the pilot’s body shape.
Aerodynamic performance
The fairing optimises its aerodynamic shape, reducing drag. This makes it more balanced in yaw, resulting in a more stable, high-performing and precise harness.
Integrated parachute
Niviuk has focused on safety and ease of use by integrating the parachute container on the right side of the harness. This makes it more user-friendly, especially in everyday use, and much more comfortable.
Excellent stability in flight
In order to ensure total comfort, Niviuk’s R&D team has worked hard on the chassis to guarantee a high level of flight stability. Thanks to the triangulation system applied, the Arrow P Race is a stable harness that better absorbs excess movements transmitted to the pilot, making it more efficient, especially in accelerated flight.
Protection system
Niviuk Arrow P Race has worked to develop a very compact foam protection that offers the best compromise between lightness and impacts absorption. At 14 cm thick and weighing 320 g, it is made of three different layers of low density foam. This protection helps to provide a very comfortable seat without the need for a seat plate on the harness
Additionally, you can order Apair inflatable protection. It is ideal for pilots looking for small volume, safety and lightness on their hike & fly adventures. EN and LTF certified, this ultralight protector weights only 240 g and distinguishes itself by its efficiency and practicality. It is delivered with the Infbag cover, which facilitates inflation and also serves as a compression bag for packing and transporting the harness.
Niviuk Arrow P Race Super-light
An ultra-light harness, from 1.49 kg, the perfect partner for hike & fly enthusiasts. Like all Niviuk’s P Series products, light materials have been used for its development. For example, the pod is made of 32 g/m2 Dokdo, an ultra-lightweight fabric with good tear resistance, and the rest is made of Lycra light for added stretch. The inflatable fairing is made from Skytex 27 g internally and externally.
Niviuk Arrow P RaceSeries pod harness
Thanks to technical know-how and optimisation of materials, Niviuk have been able to develop the Arrow P Race: one of the lightest pod harnesses on the market, without sacrificing the features and performance of the standard models. It has been extensively researched in terms of structure, materials, durability and strength. Big teamwork to offer the best quality in all aspects.
