DescriptionThe Niviuk Arrow 2 is a performance-oriented POD reclining harness designed for XC, cross-country flying, and paragliding competitions. It is aimed at ambitious pilots seeking an aerodynamically efficient flying position, high comfort, and precise control of their paraglider over long glide distances.
As an evolution of the Arrow series, the Arrow 2 combines a sporty, aerodynamic silhouette with an ergonomic seating position. The result is a performance harness that supports you during challenging thermal flights, long XC distances, and in competition.
In performance-oriented cross-country flights, it’s not just the glide performance of the paraglider that matters. The harness’s aerodynamics also influence drag and, consequently, efficiency during accelerated flight.
The Niviuk Arrow 2 features an aerodynamically designed reclining position with a closed leg pocket. This reduces the body surface area exposed to the airflow and promotes efficient gliding between thermal sources.
A stable, comfortable flying position is crucial, especially during long valley crossings, accelerated glide segments, and challenging competition tasks.
A high-performance cross-country harness must not only be aerodynamic but also provide well-balanced feedback from the paraglider.
The Arrow 2 is designed for controlled weight shifting and a stable seating position. This supports precise turn control during thermal flying as well as a stable flying posture during longer glide segments.
Individual adjustment of the seating position, back support, and leg pocket is crucial for optimally balancing comfort, control feel, and aerodynamics.
Anyone who spends several hours in a harness needs ergonomic support and a posture that’s as relaxed as possible.
The Niviuk Arrow 2 reclining harness is designed for longer flight times. The sporty reclining position allows you to rest your legs in the leg bag and position your upper body comfortably during extended XC flights.
Careful adjustment to body size and personal seating posture helps reduce fatigue and maintain control over the paraglider even on long flights.
For XC flights and competitions, instruments, the reserve parachute, and personal gear must be stowed in a practical manner.
The Arrow 2 is designed as a performance-oriented harness for use with flight instruments, a speed bar, and a reserve system. The specific equipment and configuration should be tailored to the pilot’s individual needs.
Especially for longer cross-country flights, easy access to instruments, a correctly adjusted accelerator, and a secure rescue system installation are particularly important.
The Niviuk Arrow 2 is designed for experienced paragliders who want to optimize their gear for long-distance flights and challenging competitions. The pilot’s skill level should be in the High-B / EN-C range.
It is particularly appealing to XC pilots who want to switch from a classic seated harness to an aerodynamic recumbent harness, as well as to experienced competition pilots who value an efficient flying position and comfortable handling.
Key factors in your choice include your flying experience, your preferred seating position, the correct harness size, and compatibility with your reserve parachute.
