Nova NEXO

Technical data

Weight range

For relaxed thermalling, Nova recommends flying the NEXO in the middle of the certified weight range.

Pilots who spend a lot of time accelerated between thermals will feel particularly comfortable in the upper third of the range.

For more dynamic flying and maximum agility, we recommend the upper end of the weight range.

Nova NEXO: Simply more flying

Simply fly

The NEXO was created around a clear idea.

Many pilots are no longer looking for an extreme wing. They want to go flying, enjoy thermals, cover distance and feel comfortable throughout the entire flight. That is exactly what the NEXO was designed for.

A wing with high passive safety, precise handling and real XC capability. Compact in feel. Clear in feedback. High performing without becoming demanding.

A modern allrounder for everyone who simply loves flying.

Compact and precise

The NEXO delivers exactly the kind of feedback pilots actually need in the air.

The canopy feels compact. Feedback remains clear without becoming nervous. There are no hectic load changes and no distracting wingtip movements.

The wing enters thermals cleanly and centers intuitively. In turns, it stays calm and flat. Handling feels direct and controlled.

The result is a thermalling experience that remains relaxed while climbing efficiently.

Target group

Who is the NEXO made for?

For everyone looking to combine high passive safety with precise handling and real XC capability.

For pilots who enjoy thermalling, flying cross country and feeling comfortable throughout the entire flight.

Simply for pilots who love flying.

• pilots looking for high passive safety 
• pilots who want XC capability without constant pressure 
• pilots who appreciate precise thermalling behaviour 
• pilots who want relaxed accelerated flight behaviour 
• pilots looking for a durable wing for many years of flying 
• pilots searching for a true allrounder

Safe

XC with confidence

The NEXO was developed for real cross country flying.

Its top speed feels closer to a far more demanding wing. The flight feeling does not.

The new NOVA profile generation provides excellent stability in accelerated flight. The air remains clearly noticeable. The canopy stays compact. Pitch movements are damped while the wing still feels alive.

This creates a strong sense of confidence during long glides and demanding transitions.

The NEXO shows how enjoyable XC flying can feel.

Easy launches

The NEXO rises reliably and controllably above the pilot.

The canopy inflates quickly and climbs reliably through the center section. This keeps the wing easy to guide and control throughout launch. Near the top, the canopy naturally reduces its energy, making overshooting far less likely.

Even if pressure is released too early during inflation, the canopy remains manageable and can easily be guided back overhead.

The result is relaxed launches and more fun from the very first moment of the flight.

Safety with reserves

The NEXO was developed with a clear focus on passive safety.

During held collapse simulations, the wing shows very little tendency to rotate toward the collapsed side. Even in real collapses in turbulent conditions, reactions remain controlled and easy to understand. We have tested the NEXO beyond the certification standards.

Reopenings happen quickly. At the same time, the canopy builds very little additional energy. Especially after larger collapses, this helps reduce secondary reactions significantly.
Particularly impressive is the behaviour in accelerated flight. Accelerated collapses differ only minimally from unaccelerated ones.

For Nova, one thing was clear:
A true low B wing proves its quality when conditions become serious.

Construction

Intentionally robust

The NEXO was not designed around minimum weight.

The focus was placed on durability, stability and a convincing flight feeling over many years of use.

High quality Porcher materials are used at the leading edge. In the center section, we use the updated coated Dominico 30D fabric. It combines long term durability with pleasant handling, even after frequent use in humidity, dust and demanding conditions. At the same time, the fabric never feels slippery.

Reduced complexity

Short rods in the nose reduce internal complexity and noticeably decrease packing volume. The risers remain intentionally simple. The line concept follows the same philosophy. Clear, trim stable and practical for everyday use.

The NEXO deliberately avoids unnecessary complexity.

A wing that stays interesting

The NEXO continues to offer enjoyment far beyond the first XC flights.

Its balanced energy behaviour makes safety training intuitive and enjoyable. At the same time, the canopy offers enough dynamics and precision for wingovers, SATs, helicopters and many other advanced manoeuvres.

The NEXO combines thermalling, XC capability and freestyle potential in an exceptionally wide range of use.

One flight. Many possibilities.

Modern by design

With the NEXO, the new NOVA design language now enters the EN B category.

Clean lines, reduced graphics and modern colors give the wing a calm yet dynamic appearance. This new design language first became visible on the XENON 1 and GLITCH and is closely linked to the modern NOVA generation many pilots associate with Theo de Blic.

Clean. Modern. Distinctive.

Technology

Think outside the box. Instead of dividing the in-built rods and fixing both curved pieces with seams, the rods here simply form a loop. This saves on seams, supports the Air Scoop principle and has no disadvantages in terms of weight and packing volume.

Consistent at top speed. Using thin webbing at the leading edge, the upper and lower surfaces are connected in the middle of each cell. This promotes leading edge solidity in flight, which is particularly beneficial to performance when flying at speed.

Comfort on the ground. All NOVA paragliders are made to be easy to use. For packing you can use a concertina bag, but it is not essential. Our extensive experience with rods has taught us that the packing method has little influence on the durability of the wing. Bent rods quickly spring back into their original shape.
