In our continued efforts to find the best products, we travelled to Spain to learn about the latest developments at Niviuk, who've established a name for themselves with an excellent range: NK1 and Koyot (beginner); Hook and Hook 2 (intermediate); Artik, Artik 2 and Artik 3 (cross country); Peak and Peak 2 (high performance); Icepeak, Icepeak XP, Icepeak 3, Icepeak 4 and Icepeak 5 (competition); Takoo and Takoo 2 (tandem); F-Gravity and N-Gravity (Acro); Nooky, Skate and Roller (speed riding / speed flying); and Zion (mini-wing).

We tried out the new Artik 3, which pilots seem to already be raving about. Carlo's first impressions were of a very sorted wing, easy to fly for its class, with a high trim speed and excellent performance.

Greg flew the Peak 2 and thought it was: "The best wing I've flown. Ever."

We also tried out Niviuk's new harnesses: Transat (tandem pilot); Roamer (multipurpose: speed flying, speed riding and mountain flying); Hamak 2 (Recreational / XC) and Drifter (high performance pod harness).
