Niviuk Drifter 2 (general info)
Performance, comfort and safety. The new Drifter 2 is a hybrid harness designed for competition and cross-country, in which the pilot is fully enveloped and which offers better performance than a classic racing harness.
Niviuk has modelled the harness structure in 3D, studying it meticulously, to offer maximum comfort and to be able to fly for hours without any pressure points. To offer the best flying feeling, they have focused on achieving a good balance between stability and manoeuvrability.
Thanks to the redesign and significant aerodynamic optimisation work in virtual wind tunnels, the Drifter 2 offers maximum flight performance

Drifter 2: Cross-country & competition revolution
Target
Cross-country
Move to the next level of XC. Its great comfort and stability will allow you to fly long distances in total comfort.
Competition
Its streamlined, aerodynamically optimised shape will enhance the success of your competition flights.
Features
Two cockpits
The Drifter 2 has two cockpits, one for carrying ballast in case it is needed; and one for placing the flight instruments. The instruments are under an anti-glare shield and are very easy to see and access, thanks to a zip that can be opened in flight or by inserting the arms through the side openings.
One optional cockpit
Niviuk is developing an optional third cockpit for the instruments, which will be on the outside of the harness and will not have a shield. It is attached to the harness by carabiners, with clips and magnets.
Smart pod closer system
The pod is closed with a new zip system. It is very easy to open and close, thanks to an accessible "return line" system, where by pulling a cord, the zip slides like a blind, all without releasing the controls. Once closed, it can also be easily opened with the feet. Side wind cannot enter the pod, guaranteeing stability and performance.
Ergonomics
The shape of a classic harness has been maintained, but its performance has been maximised. This harness will not change the pilot's flying habits, but it will certainly change their flights.
Two integrated parachutes
The Drifter 2 has space for two integrated emergency parachutes, both of which are located at the rear of the backrest and are easily accessible.
Ballast options
Ballast can be added to the harness very easily, either under the seat or in the cockpit. In total, the Drifter 2 has a ballast capacity of between 10 and 12 litres.
Drag chute container
The harness includes a rear pocket, accessible from both right and left, to fit a drag chute.
Robust and durable
The Drifter 2 is very robust and will have a long operational life. Classic materials of excellent quality have been used. The pod is made of a high-quality Lycra (elastic, windproof and sturdy); and the fairing is made of D70, a lightweight material with high tear resistance.
Optimised ABS system
The triangulation offers great stability without compromising the feedback transmitted to the pilot in flight. The R&D team focused a lot on making sure that the Drifter 2 has a good balance between stability and handling.
Comfort: 3D structure
The seat structure has been designed in 3D for maximum comfort and perfect adjustment to the shape of the body. You can fly for hours and feel like you are on your sofa at home.
Orikami
Orikami is the revolutionary new protector technology developed by Niviuk's R&D team. It has been incorporated into to the back protector of our new Drifter 2 harness, and it is the thinnest and most efficient on the market. At only 5.5 cm thick.
Aerodynamic performance
Careful aerodynamic simulations produced optimised airflow and aerodynamic shape. The result is this new hybrid harness, much more optimised and high performing than a classic harness. The shape of the fairing integrates the pilot's head and shoulders to avoid turbulence.

Other Reviews
“The DRIFTER 2 is for sure a very beautiful-looking competition harness equipped to the last detail. Pilots' eyes on take-off and landing were wide open and commented frequently about that beautiful shape. Comfortable for the back and also in roll movements. The construction is excellent! felt very robust and with those materials it could last very long! When flying it, a ‘psychological’ feeling of performance will be on the menu. The air over my face was less perceived than usual as my head was near the outer shell. Landing and getting outside the pod is quite easy and feels exactly like a normal pod. For XC and competition pilots, the race is on… :-)”
