Ikuma 2: cross country wing
Accessible performance. EN/LTF B. High B. B+. XC class.
The most accessible performance
Enjoy an EN B experience with EN C performance. The new Ikuma 2 is a wing that is easy to fly and has a performance that exceeds the standard in its category.
Safety at the service of adventure
The application of the latest Niviuk technologies offers a high level of passive safety so that the pilot feels confident and can enjoy every moment of flight.
Devotion to comfort
A solid and stable wing that rises to all challenges and allows you to fly without worries.
TARGET & ADVANTAGES
CROSS COUNTRY
Complete your first long distance flights and do it under the safety and control of a high performance EN B wing.
SAFE IN EVERY MOMENT
- High passive safety due to Niviuk technologies so that the pilot feels confident and can enjoy every flight.
- The long brake travel allows the speed to be progressively reduced without the risk of stalling. Thus, the behaviour and comfort of the wing at low speeds is improved.
- The application of RAM technology guarantees a better absorption of any turbulence.
ADVANCED ACCESSIBILITY
- A more uniform and progressive inflation that makes take off easier and faster.
- A simple wing to fly with precise handling.
- A more progressive and rapid recovery after braking.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
- Extra glide when using air movements as an energy source. It makes it easier to cut though and climb in different air masses.
- A faster glider (+ 4 km/h) with very efficient handling in thermals..
- Greater profile consistency across the speed range that delivers above-average performance.
STABILITY IN FLIGHT
- A better balance in roll and pitch that ensures greater safety and comfort.
- A solid wing that will allow you to enjoy long flights without any worries.
LIGHT BY NATURE
- One of the lightest paragliders in its category, even in the serial version..
- The light (Plume) version is available as an ultra-light wing.
IKUMA 2 IN DETAIL
NEW OPTIMISED PROFILE
An improved load distribution over the entire wingspan increases the performance and aerodynamics of the wing.
NEW C2B SYSTEM
This new integrated system on the risers allows a 3-liner to be flown as if it were a 2-liner. Steering with the C-risers automatically includes the B-risers and this helps the profile to keep its shape and offers a better flight behaviour during glide.
FOUR EXTRA CELLS
Designed with 61 cells to provide solidity and more performance, based on a cleaner and more compact surface.
THE PERFECT FINISH
A taut and clean leading edge (3DL and 3DP technologies) and a fully optimised trailing edge. This is combined with the use of Titanium Technology (Nitinol) to obtain a perfect profile in all circumstances.
HYBRID MATERIALS
Use of different weight cloth in the upper and undersurface with the aim of achieving the perfect balance between weight and durability.
OPTIMISATION OF THE ATTACHMENT POINTS
New arrangement of attachment points to improve the force distribution and increase the solidity of the wing.
TECHNOLOGIES
RSD: Radial Sliced Diagonal
RSD (Radial Sliced Diagonal) technology is a reinvention of the wing's internal structure. This new design is based on individual diagonal panels arranged in radial form, which increase the efficiency of the internal structure considerably.
3DL: 3D Leading Edge
Adding an extra seam to the leading edge on the span axis of the glider helps to shape a compact 3D profile and have better connections to the new 3DP front panel's layout.
3DP: 3D Pattern Cut Optimization
The latest glider generation requires a new pattern design and an optimized fabric cutting process based on a 3D technology.
DRS: Drag Reduction Structure
With the Drag reduction Structure technology, the trailing edge has been reinforced with small ribs that that makes this part of the glider flatter in order to spread the pressure out evenly. It means better air-flow and less drag on this important part of the glider.
RAM: RAM Air Intake
Evolution and constant improving in all our products is the essence of the DNA of Niviuk's R&D team. Thanks to the new technologies created over recent years, we have conceived new and more evolved and higher performing gliders. In this context the RAM Air Intake technology should be pointed out.
SLE: Structured Leading Edge
The SLE provides more rigidity and stability along the span of leading edge but also allows full flexibility along both the vertical and horizontal axis of each open cell. The SLE ensures ease of movement on the ground and high security in the air during turbulence and whilst flying at speed.
STE: Structured Trailing Edge
The STE optimises the profile without deforming it. We can thus obtain less resistance and better performance.
TNT: Titanium Technology
Constantly innovating, we always are on the hunt, looking for the latest and best materials to helps us design optimal products. For this reason, and after an extensive evaluation of its benefits and qualities, we decided to be the firsts manufacturer to use Nitinol in our glider line.

Pilots opinions
Flybubble review
"We love the Ikuma 2. It's a fantastic all-round high-B wing with a character all of its own. It has a really solid, taught yet 'smooth' feeling to it, like a blade, solid all the way through, cutting through the air. It's quite exceptional like that in the class. The Ikuma 2 moves forward and cuts into thermals nicely, seeking out the best lift.
The Ikuma 2 has excellent performance for the class. It's quick at trim, with excellent glide and sink rate. The Ikuma 2 climbs exceptionally well, one of the best in the high-B class and competing well with the class above.
In terms of handling, the IKUMA 2 is a real pleasure to fly. For me, this is one of the nicest-handling paragliders around. It's got a really nice feeling on the brakes, and a nice precision.
One negative is that the Ikuma 2 has fully unsheathed lines (the same as most high-B wings).
Due to its relatively low pilot demands for the class, it's an ideal wing for a pilot flying a low or mid B wing looking for a nice progression up to a high B without being too much. Due to its excellent handling and performance, it's also a great choice for a pilot flying a C wing seeking higher comfort and safety without losing too much.
The Ikuma 2 is an exceptional high-B wing that has already made many pilots around the world very happy, and I'm sure will please many more."

"The material used on this Ikuma and the finish details are really nice! ... Overall the Ikuma 2 looks very clean in construction and very well made."
"Launching the Ikuma 2... is super easy. Not any hardpoint and just a slight pull. It can’t get easier."
"In the air, the brake authority is really nice. The brake travel is moderate to short, with very good agility in turns. The Ikuma 2 is a playful glider and can core thermals very narrow. The Ikuma 2 responds well to pilot inputs, even in turbulence, which can be well placed inside the core.
The brake pressure is on the moderate side. Long flights can be made without getting tired."
"Getting to fly next to some hot B’s, the climb rate of the Ikuma 2 seems also good." "When it’s strong and homogenous, it climbs perfectly."
"Doing some long glides at trim and accelerated showed me that the Ikuma 2 glides very well, next to top high B’s."
"Conclusion: A good and accessible high-B, very well made. The Ikuma 2 holds the overall performance of today’s top 5, high-B,’s and with good agility and comfort."
