Progression: Complete your training phase with a glider that will allow you to polish your skills and gain confidence flight after flight.
Cross-country: Explore long distance flying with confidence, thanks to this high performance EN-B wing that will provide safety and control.
Hike & fly: The Ikuma 3 P is also the perfect partner in your hike & fly adventures. Its lightness will allow you to reach new heights.
Ikuma 3 P performances:
Niviuk has redesigned this Ikuma model to offer improved performance and an even more exciting flying experience. Technically improved as a hybrid 3/2-liner, compared to the Ikuma 2 P, drag has been reduced by 8%.
Unparalleled lightness: State-of-the-art ultralight materials have been used throughout the wing to achieve the perfect balance between weight and durability. As a result, the canopy weighs only 3.15 kg (size 22).
Real performance
We have redesigned this Ikuma model to offer improved performance and an even more exciting flying experience. Technically improved as a hybrid 3/2-liner, compared to the Ikuma 2 P, drag has been reduced by 8%.
Optimised manoeuvrability
We have improved the response at the top of the brakes to provide more direct and comfortable steering. The Ikuma 3 P is manoeuvrable and responds predictably to the pilot&39;s inputs, making it more enjoyable to fly.

Safety, our top priority: Thanks to the Niviuk technologies applied, the Ikuma 3 P is a high performance glider, but we have kept its high passive safety.
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, we have 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.
