Why does Speedflyingschool have a Niviuk Test Center?

Our philosophie of #productsnotbrands hasn’t changed and we keep selling all brands that want us as a dealer and sell the best of the best products. We are big fans of Niviuk wings for many reason; 

• Allmost all Niviuk wings use very modern airfoils, with the lift far in front. This makes paragliders more collapse stable. Less collapses, less problems. Some pilots think that collapse stable wings collapse later, but more brutal, thus are more dangerous. This might have been the case one day, but is sure no longer true.
• Performance; Niviuk’s wings are known to have topnotch performance, specially in moving air. There aren’t many brands that have the knowledge and skills to keep up in the PWC with CCC wings.
• Performance isn’t everything for Niviuk. They spend a lot of effort to make their wings easy, accessible and safe. Pull some collapses and see yourself. 
• Pitch stability; Niviuk wings are well balanced. All of Niviuk’s A and B wings are almost impossible to pitch them so far forward that they frontal (induced pitching with toggles) Normally only the tips come in and the leading edge gets a little soft. This shows they are pitch stable and also shows they have very stable airfoil that doesn’t want to collapse, even in very low AoA. Yet in flight all Niviuk wings are not rocking back all the time when entering lift. They still pull forward a lot, which is good for performance.
• Niviuk Handling; All Niviuk wings are rather rolly and sensible to weightshift, which makes them very turn friendly. Even the high aspect ratio wings are easy to turn. All Niviuk wings have a similiar feeling. The brake pressure is rather firm and all wings have a low stallpoint and need a strong pull before they stall and so clearly warn the pilot. We think this is a big safety plus.
• Niviuk gear is on the cheaper side here in Switzerland, compared to other brands. Yet they still deliver all wings with Nitinol rods, which make sure you spend more time flying than you need for packing them. And they also keep your leading edge tensioned the same throughout the lifespan of your wing.
• Niviuk wings are simple without any unneeded marketing gimmicks. No winglets, not unneeded holes, simple line layouts. Yet Niviuk is very modern and has among Ozone the most experience in building 2-Liners. Niviuk has already built a 2-Liner with aspect ratio 6.5 10 years ago….
• Niviuk is a growing brand that just invested a lot in a new harness production. Expect many new harnesses from Niviuk soon.
• Last but no least Niviuk’s R&D chef Oliver Nef has been designing paragliders for 25 years, he already worked at Advance and other brands long time ago.
