Niviuk Ikuma 3 P Technologies
Optimised C2B system
The new riser-integrated C2B system allows this 3-liner to be flown as if it were a 2-liner, which has increased comfort. A handle lowers the B and C-risers at the same time. These are connected through a pulley system to maintain the optimal shape of the profile. This allows the glider to be flown and steered without degrading its shape, even at high speeds.
Hybrid 3/2-liner
Thanks to the hybrid 3/2-liner system, Niviuk has reduced drag by 8% and the total number of lines used. This new line layout does not affect the handling compared to the Ikuma 2 P.
IKS 1000 connection system
The Ikuma 3 P is supplied with the IKS 1000 as standard. This is a lightweight means to connect the risers to the lines. The system can hold up to 1.055 kg, which is well above the 550 kg of the classic 3 mm carabiner, and even weighs much less. This reduces the overall weight of the equipment while ensuring safety and durability.
Improved DRS integration
The application of mini-ribs on the trailing edge reduces drag and improves the aerodynamic shape of the wing. The DRS technology has been optimised: the mini-ribs are integrated directly into the outer panels, eliminating external seams for a cleaner and more efficient profile.
Perfected aerodynamic profile
The new profile of the Ikuma 3 P increases stability in both roll and pitch and further improves the overall performance of the wing.
New Nitinol rod distribution
The use of Nitinol rods (TNT technology) has been reduced by 18% to achieve a more compact packing.
Stability at any angle of attack
The application of RAM technology ensures that the internal pressure of the wing is optimal and that the profile maintains its ideal shape in all flight conditions.
