Spirit of Competition
The Peak 3 design heralds from the competition circuit. It has been born with the gift of cross country flying. Explore its endless possibilities and feel the power of its competitive spirit.
Power & Control
Exploit its power while easily keeping it under control at every moment. Take its soul, dominate it and feel completely confident.
New Goals
To reach new goals you need appropriate means: an easy handling, compact and efficient glider capable of bringing you wherever you wish.
Looking for Perfection
Niviuk's R&D team have worked hard to create a new XC glider provided with latest technologies. Thanks to the knowledge acquired from the competition experience we can now feature an EN D glider with a more efficient profilenever seen before.
It is a superior race glider, capable to bring you all its power to travel through the longest cross country distances, to go further and to fly faster. However, you could also enjoy its reliability, because for us high performance is a synonym of security and comfort.
A Serial Thoroughbred
The Peak 3 is one of nowadays most ambitious serial XC. It shares the same DNA of Icepeak 6. It is a legend with a top competitive spirit.
Its fate was written. Niviuk technology is into all its cells.
The leading edge has been equipped with SLE and RAM air intake technologies which provide excellent performance in turbulence as well as a powerful acceleration. It has been designed to provide pilots an easy handling and control in any condition thanks to its performances.
The DRS (Drag Reduction System) technology has been applied on the trailing edge, which has been reinforced with small ribs that makes this part flatter in order to spread the pressure out evenly. It means better air-flow and less drag on this important part of the glider.
With a powerful profile and a detailed internal architecture structure the Peak 3 promises excellent results:
the exceptional behavior of the glider at every speed is a revolution. The sensation of command is guaranteed thanks to the easy intuitive control of every function.
It has been made with high strength materials, which allow a significant reduction of the total length of suspension lines in order to reduce the parasite resistance and the weight of the glider. The Peak 3 is a 2 liner technology glider conceived to offer you more for less: more performance and security; less flat span and weight. More speed, better ascent in thermals and better glide to bring you to everywhere you wish.
Combining Power & Control
To make the most of the power of nature it is essential to know how to use it and when to use it. The Peak 3 is an elite athlete who expertly manages the resistance and the power to get an outstanding dynamics as well as efficiency.
Moreover, its high comfort and stability levels convert it into a perfect glider for long flies. It has an agile control and it offers a unique passive safety for the XC category.
More speed, better ascent in thermals and better glide to bring you to everywhere you wish.
The Peak 3 is ambitious and compelling. It is capable to challenge the strongest rival, however it has been created for the most important competition; the one that you have with yourself to beat your own limits!

Niviuk Peak 3 Reviews: The Peak 3 Experience!
The best part of introducing a new glider is the satisfaction that it produces getting an excellent feedback of pilots. And this is what's exactly happening with the Peak 3.
Almost over a half year from its presentation, a lot of pilots have been sending us their opinions about our new XC glider. The Peak 3 has won some competitions and set several new world records so far; however, the most important thing for us is it has been capable to captivate the ones who have been flown it. Read below some of these pilots' impressions:
Nate Scales - I will start by saying this is my favourite paraglider I have flown yet. The combination of handling and performance are magnificent. The glider is rock solid in big Idaho summer air, and the 2 line risers give a nice feedback. Coming from several other 2 line gliders I am not willing to give up that level of connection or control with my glider.
Philippe Lami - First flight with the Peak 3 and I'm completely excited! The glider has all I'm looking for. It has absolutely all I need: homogeneity, excellent turning, precision, great speed, stability ...In brief: everything is really good!
Gavin McClurg - Pure and simple. Super easy to handle, responsive, provides incredible feedback and just looking at it makes your heart sing. Niviuk has nailed it with this one. I'm no designer, but looking at it and how they have changed huge things like the location of the air intakes (back a LONG way), and the line attachments, and the genius of the two-liner with an additional cascade with 4 attachment points.
Louis Gérin-Jean - The two first hours of flying with the Peak 3 have filled me with new sensations of gliding and speed. I'm ready for the season thanks to this great and high-featured glider. I'm sure the Peak 3's going to be one of the best options under the colours of this brand.
Oriol Lázaro Cristoph - I'm a peak 3 pilot. Zero sponsored! 1000000000....% pleased and grateful!!! Thanks Niviuk, big wing!!!!!
