About
Niviuk Gliders, established in 2005, is a leading manufacturer of high-quality paragliding and paramotor equipment designed for the most demanding pilots worldwide. The brand covers the full spectrum of free-flight needs — from beginner-friendly serial gliders like the Koyot 6 and Takoo 6, to competition-class wings such as the Icepeak X-One and Peak 6, as well as hike-and-fly mini wings, acro gliders, and tandem wings. In addition to gliders, Niviuk produces a complete ecosystem of flight gear including ergonomic harnesses (Makan, Konvers 3, Rocket R), spacious rucksacks and expedition bags (Kargo series, Expe series), certified reserve parachutes (Cires, Octagon 2), and a wide range of spare parts and accessories such as speed bars, riser sets, IKS systems, and line sets. Niviuk's P Series line caters to paramotor pilots with dedicated wings and harnesses built for powered paragliding. Their Aero Speedarms technology and proprietary manufacturing processes reflect a strong commitment to innovation and safety. The brand also maintains an NK Service centre offering professional inspections and repairs for both gliders and harnesses. Niviuk is ideal for recreational pilots, cross-country enthusiasts, competition racers, and adventure pilots looking for trusted, high-performance flight equipment backed by decades of engineering expertise.
