Nova has unveiled the Nivo, a completely new EN/LTF A paraglider positioned between the Prion and Aonic in the brand’s lineup. Designed from the ground up, the 3-liner aims to accompany pilots from their first ground handling sessions through training and into early thermal and even freestyle flights.
With 40 cells and a flat aspect ratio of 4.87 (projected 3.50), the Nivo balances passive safety with performance. Weighing from 3.75 kg (XXS), it covers certified take-off weights from 54 to 130 kg across six sizes. Nova deliberately increased structural complexity compared to a typical school wing, adding more cells to enhance handling precision while maintaining calm, predictable reactions.
Positioned as “more than a classic student glider,” the Nivo targets both flight schools and newly licensed pilots seeking a durable, progression-friendly wing. Nova highlights its forgiving stall behavior, clean brake pressure distribution and suitability for early SIV maneuvers such as SAT and helicopter, underlining its ambition to extend well beyond basic training use.
