Ikuma 3: EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS

Target

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.

Features

Maximum comfort

Comfort is key and the Ikuma 3 offers it in abundance, even improving the flying experience compared to its predecessor.

Real performance

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, drag has been reduced by 8%.

Optimal manoeuvrability

Niviuk has improved the response at the top of the brakes to provide more direct and comfortable steering. The Ikuma 3 is manoeuvrable and responds predictably to the pilot's inputs, making it more enjoyable to fly.

Safety, Niviuks top priority

Thanks to the Niviuk technologies applied, the Ikuma 3 is a high performance glider, but they have kept its high passive safety.

More stable

The Ikuma 3 stands out for its improved pitch stability. Explore altitude with confidence and exceptional performance.

Other reviews

"Launching the Ikuma 3 even in no wind conditions, rises smoothly and evenly. The Ikuma 3 rises effortlessly in more windy take-offs and stays above the pilot's head with a little brake. The Ikuma 3 even at 88 all up, can core thermals very narrow staying in the core very easily. The combination of the Arrow/Ikuma 3 while weightshifting and brake pulling is nothing but excellent! In a more strong thermals, and flying it at 93 all up, the handling is even better! and coring is even more satisfying! A piece of pure pleasure while thermal flying. The pitch is neutral and hands up all the way the Ikuma 3 enters the airmass slowly but efficiently. It clings to the thermal and climbs effortlessly. It feels like it guides you into the thermal. It doesn’t reject the rising airmass but seems to slide and cling to it slowly. All you need to do is let it fly, keeping the minimum of brake pressure. It floats nicely into the rising air mass.

Conclusion: Even after many testing years, some gliders even in the high B category, still give me those happy flying vibes! The Ikuma 3 is one of them. A very comfortable high B with pleasurable handling and top-end performance for the category. It is very clear, that flying the Ikuma 3 will firstly touch the sensitive handling pilots by delivering a high amount of pleasure feel. All that with very good brake authority. Pilots have different feel, and different requirements, but I can assure you test flying the Ikuma 3 won’t keep you indifferent! "

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, Niviuk has 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.

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 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.
