Vivo 3: #PositiveAttitude
More playful and agile than its predecessor, the Vivo 3 places fun and pilot sensations at the very heart of its DNA.
Today, the thermals were nowhere to be found. Or at least, not the kind of thermals a mid-B pilot could use… Good! It’s the perfect excuse to clean the house and finally finish that paperwork that’s been piling up for ages.
50 kilometers, 2 hours of flight, and an impossible-to-erase smile later, the paperwork will just have to wait a bit longer.
“Viva la Vivo”
Designer's notes
“Renewing the Vivo and LiVi ranges was no small feat! We were deeply attached to the ease of use and versatility of these wings. Nevertheless, with these two new generations, we wanted to take a major step forward:
Our goal was to design true EN-B wings that really belong in their categories. The challenge was to improve handling precision and performance while maintaining the same aspect ratio and playful behavior.
Between accessibility and maneuverability, I think we finally found the right recipe… Now, it’s up to you to tell us!”
- Stephan Stiegler & Hugo Chaboud, Designer
Construction & features
- Positioned between the Eazy and the Soar, the Vivo stands as the logical choice in your progression. Whether you are moving up from an EN-A or an entry-level EN-B, the Vivo 3 has been designed to let you discover the full potential of the B category, without compromising on your safety.
- The internal structure and profile have been redesigned to offer increased coherence across the entire wing. The result? You feel it immediately in the handling: fluid, precise, and reassuring.
- The Vivo 3 draws directly from the DNA of its big sisters to adapt 2-liner technologies to a mid-EN-B wing. This results in a 2.5-liner architecture that offers generous support at the wingtips and an exhilarating “bite” in thermals. Coring becomes so natural that we bet it will become your favorite game.
- The risers, inspired by the EN-B+ category, feature rear-riser steering bars. Combined with our Short Line Design, they transform accelerated flight into a playground rather than a source of discomfort. You learn to play with different flight regimes at your own pace and in the best possible conditions.
- The brake travel has been extended, widening the passive safety window in all conditions. It’s the perfect setup to learn how to top-land with total confidence.

Did you know?
- Behind the Vivo 3 lies all the experience gained from 2-liner wings such as the Volt and the Hero XPed. This expertise has been condensed and adapted into a Access-EN-B wing: the sensations are there. And so is the safety.
- Without being an ultralight wing, the Vivo 3 is remarkably compact when folded. Even after a messy pack job, it fits into the bag without any argument.
