Light and safe by nature 

The Koyot4 P brings together all the Niviuk innovations in passive safety while maintaining its lightness so you can unleash your inner adventurer.

Complete accessibility 

Its easy and simple handling helps the pilot to acquire all the necessary knowledge and skills to prepare themselves to master any situation that may arise.

The most stable comfort 

A calm and smooth glider that will let you enjoy all phases of flight to ensure gradual, complete and solid learning.

Free your adventurous spirit

The Koyot 4 P opens the door to new adventures even during your training phase. A glider for all mountaineers and high mountain enthusiasts seeking to complement their passion with flight. Its light nature facilitates ascending mountains to enjoy flights in unique locations and therefore progress as a pilot.

This is a very docile wing and its response to pilot inputs is much more progressive compared to other wings used for instruction. The wing responds very gradually and after executing a manoeuvre or command it displays a tendency to return to its natural overhead position.

The wing buffers turbulence for increased comfort and confidence of the pilot and its excellent stability reduces the possibility of collapse to a minimum. It recovers quickly and simply, so it is an easy and very intuitive wing to control.

The redesign includes features like the new profile and the arc of the canopy which guarantee greater wing cohesion and stability. This is of vital importance for an easier take-off and to ensure greater passive safety in every phase of flight.

Also noteworthy is the incorporation of the revolutionary Nitinol (TNT) rods in the profile of the Koyot 4 P. Using these rods in the wing profile increases its elasticity, gives it shape memory and helps the profile return to its original shape more easily. The use of this material increases durability to increase the operational life of the wing and protect it during the intensive use common in paragliding training.

Its leading-edge has a structured design (SLE technology), an extra seam on the span axis (3DL technology) and ideal tensioning without deformations based on the 3DP technology used in Niviuk competition gliders. All this guarantees the Koyot 4 P offers an extra performance bonus compared to other wings in its class and gives the pilot the possibility of progressing to their first cross-country flights.

The internal structure has also been redesigned and optimised. The ribs and diagonals are combined and the attachment points are reinforced for better load distribution. A more aerodynamic trailing edge results in less drag than its predecessor, a key aspect for better airflow. The application of RAM Air Intake (RAM) technology contributes to improving this flow and optimising internal pressure for the wing to better absorb any turbulence. With these improvements, the Koyot 4 P has greatly benefited in terms of safety, stability and control.

The line set has been simplified and optimised to make wing preparation and checking of the lines during the pre-launch phase much easier. This improvement has been based on a new strategic distribution of the lines alongside a more technical construction based on the use of diagonal tape. With only two levels of lines on the entire surface, this has permitted a 19% reduction of line meters and a 31% reduction of the number of lines.

The aspect ratio has been reduced compared to the previous generation from 4.95 to 4.75, also helping to improve the compactness and making it a more stable wing. The increase in the number of cell openings (from 36 to 39) makes the wing more solid and compact, resulting in better penetration and a plus in performance so that the pilot can learn in a controlled, fun environment. Another highlight of the Koyot 4 P is that it has an efficient and stable speed system that together with the extended brake range will allow a more progressive control of the wing speed.

For extra lightness, the Koyot 4 P can be complemented by the Interlock System (IKS) technology used in the Niviuk Plume range. This is an ultra-light connection system between the lines and risers that creates a fixed connection using a Dyneema loop. The loop is equipped with a fastening and locking system, which results in a more efficient and secure connection. This means the equipment is always ready for action.

In short, the Koyot 4 P allows you to learn progressively as you discover your first hike & fly adventures. The best partner to make the most of your potential as a pilot and adventurer in a fun and safe way.

Technologies

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 3D technology.

IKS - Interlock System

The IKS (Interlock System) is an ultra-lightweight, high strength connecting system that aims to complement the light product range and replace the current systems based on the use of the maillons and/or carabiners. This new system is based on a secure connection using a simple Dyneema loop provided with a fixing and locking system, ensuring the complete efficiency and safety of the connection, and allowing the equipment to be ready at all times, either with or without load.

RAM - RAM AIR INTAKE

Evolution and constant improving in all Niviuk products is the essence of the DNA of Niviuk's R&D team. Thanks to the new technologies created over recent years, Niviuk 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 the 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.

TNT- TITANIUM TECHNOLOGY

Constantly innovating, Niviuk 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, Niviuk decided to be the firsts manufacturer to use Nitinol in their glider line.
