Nova ION 7 Paraglider – Confidence in Flight, Freedom in Performance
The Nova ION 7 Paraglider is where intelligent performance meets unmistakable confidence. Whether you’re refining your skills or venturing into serious cross-country territory, the ION 7 offers exactly what ambitious pilots crave: safety, performance, and intuitive handling—all rolled into one sleek, EN B-certified package.
If you’re looking to progress without compromise, then this wing is your perfect match.
Progressive Performance, Unshakable Confidence
Designed as the evolution of the trusted ION series, the Nova ION 7 Paraglider provides noticeably improved glide, climb, and stability. Yet it does so without demanding aggressive pilot input. Because of that, intermediate pilots will find this wing an ideal platform for both skill-building and personal records.
Furthermore, the upgraded profile and refined line geometry work together to increase efficiency. As a result, you’ll gain altitude faster and stay aloft longer. Not to mention, the wing handles turbulence gracefully—so you enjoy every flight, even when the conditions test your comfort zone.
Nova ION 7 Paraglider Designed for Real-World Pilots
Unlike hyper-sensitive performance wings, the Nova ION 7 Paraglider is made for real pilots flying real conditions. It’s optimized for pilots who want reliability on weekend thermals, stability on cross-country legs, and predictability when launching from new or unfamiliar sites.
Moreover, it inflates cleanly—even in light wind—thanks to Nova’s clever intake design and canopy tensioning. Because of this, getting off the ground becomes not only easy but also enjoyable.
Handling That Helps You Improve
The ION 7 delivers smooth, coordinated handling that feels natural from the very first flight. Transitioning from brake to weight shift is seamless, allowing you to stay focused on the air around you—not just your gear. As you carve clean turns or explore narrow cores, the wing responds immediately without being too sensitive. So, you’ll build technique with confidence.
And with a well-balanced brake pressure, fatigue becomes less of an issue on long flights. Therefore, your focus stays where it belongs—on performance, navigation, and enjoying the view.
Safety You Can Trust
Safety isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of every Nova design. That’s why the Nova ION 7 Paraglider maintains top-tier passive safety, even with its upgraded performance. In sudden collapses or active air, the wing’s profile remains pitch-stable and collapses are rare. Additionally, recovery is fast and predictable, so you stay in control.
Whether you’re learning new maneuvers or pushing personal bests, this wing is built to back you up.
Built for the Long Haul
Durability is another cornerstone of the ION 7. Constructed with Nova’s trusted materials, it resists wear from everyday use and frequent flying. Lightweight yet robust, it packs down small—making it the go-to choice for pilots who fly often, travel far, and expect their gear to keep up.
Nova ION 7 Paraglider Ready to Step Up?
If you’re ready for a paraglider that grows with you, then the Nova ION 7 Paraglider is exactly what you need. Safe, responsive, and surprisingly efficient—it’s time to take your flying to the next level.

ION 7 – Versatile by design
From local flying, XC to freestyle fun – everything is possible with the ION 7 (EN/LTF B). The reason for this great versatility combined with outstanding safety, is NOVA’s new design software. Even before the practical tests, top speed and flight manoeuvres such as collapses can be simulated more accurately than ever before.

Pilot target group
The ION 7 (EN/LTF B) is suitable for enthusiastic beginners as well as advanced pilots who value the versatility of their paraglider, and who enjoy improving their flying technique. From local soaring, XC to freestyle fun – anything is possible without sacrificing comfort and safety.
New Features
Nova ION 7 Paraglider
Optimised collapse behaviour. The ION 7 exhibits unprecedented gentleness when it comes to collapses. During asymmetric collapses, the glider turns only minimally, and there is little loss of height. We have achieved these properties through simulations in our new design software, which offers us new possibilities in development. This means we not only select the virtual prototypes with the highest performance, but also those with the best collapse behaviour from a large number of simulations. The result is the stable and safe flying feeling of the ION 7.
Performance through stability. If you look at the leading edge of the ION 7, you will notice the new Rod Loops and Mid Cell Links. The former save on seams and assist the Air Scoop, while the latter ensure a solid leading edge, especially in accelerated flight, and also serve to optimise internal pressure. Both are smart solutions that deliver performance.
Standard riser or XC Riser. The ION 7 / ION 7 Light is supplied as standard with a 12 mm narrow and sturdy Kevlar riser. In addition, the riser features Ronstan pulleys for less effort when pushing the speed-bar and Fidlock magnets for uncomplicated fixing of the brake handles. Pilots who want to fly even more efficiently with the speed-bar can optionally purchase the ION 7 XC Riser. This requires greater care during launch preparations, but allows for improved pitch control.
