The MENTOR 6 Light is the lightweight version of the MENTOR 6, a three-liner EN B-paraglider with 59 cells and a flat aspect ratio 5.43.

It can be packed significantly smaller and weighs much less than the standard version (4.2 kg in comparison to 5.05 kg in size S). Nevertheless, the Light is perfect for everyday use (normal risers, all lines, except the gallery lines, are sheathed) and it comes with NOVA's full warranty package. Naturally, it features all the innovative technologies that ensure more performance and flying pleasure: Zig-Zag 3D-Shaping, Mini-Rib Vector Tape, Double-B splits as well as the new risers.

The MENTOR 6 Light is suitable for hike & fly, vol biv, cross-country, travelling with a paraglider – or just for pilots who like to make light work of flying.

Lightweight, high performing, uncomplicated: the IBEX 3 is an ultralight wing (from 2.5kg) made by mountaineers for mountaineers. The IBEX 3 XXS is aimed at pilots who appreciate a small wing with a lot of performance; the XS and S IBEX 3 are fully-fledged thermalling wings (EN/LTF A).

The NOVA SOMNIUM offers everything cross-country pilots are looking for: comfort, an aerodynamic seating position with little drag and thanks to Hybrid Protection, an impressive degree of passive safety. At only 3.7 kilograms (size S), the walk to take-off is made a lot easier.

More about our new XC harness:
https://www.nova.eu/en/harnesses/somnium/

Specifications:

More safety. The SOMNIUM is fitted with an innovative Hybrid Protector. When the harness is taken out of the bag the foam begins to expand. Once in the air, the foam protection is augmented by an airbag. This cushion of air not only supports the pelvic area - but protects the whole back. In its class, the SOMNIUM offers a unique level of passive safety.

More performance. The SOMNIUM is fitted with Split Loops. This ensures a comfortable seating position and simultaneously improves the performance of the wing during glides - the tendency to roll is damped and this has a positive impact on your glide ratio, especially in turbulent air. The streamlined design and slender pod underline this performance potential.

Less weight. Small packing size, little weight: due to its Hybrid Protection, the SOMNIUM can be packed small and at 3.7kg (size S) is extraordinarily light - without compromising on passive safety. The foam protector can be highly compressed and apart from the material, the airbag packs down to nothing. The SOMNIUM offers the complete package of performance, safety and little weight.

A fresh breeze for the EN A class

The NOVA AONIC is a high-end EN A glider with 49 cells and a flat aspect ratio of 5.17. It offers the high passive safety of an EN A glider (fully suitable for instruction) in combination with a pinch of agility and speed, as well as the performance of an EN B wing. Newcomers to paragliding will find it a wing that can accompany them all the way their first 200 km+ FAI triangles. Experienced pilots will find it totally confidence-inspiring, without hardly any loss of performance or flying fun.
NOVA offers the AONIC in four colours and in five sizes, with a weight range from 55 to 130 kg. www.nova.eu/aonic

NOVA AONIC – HIGH EN A-GLEITSCHIRM: Aufwind für die A-Klasse

Der NOVA AONIC ist ein High A-Gleitschirm mit 49 Zellen und einer ausgelegten Streckung von 5,17. Er bietet die sehr hohe passive Sicherheit eines EN A- Schirms (voll schulungstauglich) in Kombination mit einer Prise Dynamik und Geschwindigkeit sowie der Leistung eines EN B-Schirms. Gleitschirmneulinge finden damit einen Schirm, der sie bis zu ihrem ersten 200+ km FAI-Dreieck begleiten kann. Erfahrene Piloten fliegen maximal entspannt, müssen aber kaum Einbußen an Leistung oder Flugspaß hinnehmen.

Den AONIC gibt es in vier Farben in je fünf Größen mit einem Fluggewichtsbereich von 55 bis 130 kg an. Mehr Info www.nova.eu/aonic

NOVA ION 6 (EN B paraglider) – Adventure awaits

Three-liner | 51 cells | aspect ratio 5.19 | weight 4.7kg - size S

For nearly a decade the NOVA ION has represented something like the Swiss Army Knife or the VW Golf amongst paragliders: you can do “everything” with it and very few people actually need “more”. The spectrum ranges from relaxed local soaring to a 200+ km FAI triangle - and all this with a very high degree of passive safety and relatively low demands on the pilot. With the newest generation of the ION 6, this has not changed.

Despite this, it is a completely new design: The ION 6 has a higher projected aspect ratio than its predecessor, less curvature and shorter lines. Also, for the first time we have equipped an ION with
– performance-enhancing Mini-ribs
– Zig-Zag 3D-shaping
– a Mini-Rib Vector Tape as well as
– optimised wing twist in accelerated flight.
This leads a clear increase in performance, which is highly accessible to an extremely wide range of pilots happy, remains the same..

NOVA ION 6 (EN / LTF B Gleitschirm) – Adventure awaits

Dreileiner| Zellen: 51 | Streckung: 5,19 | Gewicht: 4,7 kg bei Größe S

Seit rund einem Jahrzehnt stellt der NOVA ION so etwas dar wie das Schweizer Taschenmesser oder den VW Golf unter den Gleitschirmen: Man kann „alles“ damit machen und „mehr“ braucht eigentlich kaum jemand. Vom entspannten Cruisen am Hausberg bis hin zum FAI-Dreieck von 200+ km reicht das Spektrum – und das alles mit einem sehr hohen Maß an passiver Sicherheit und relativ geringem Anspruch an den Piloten. Mit der neuesten Generation ION 6, hat sich daran nichts geändert.

Trotzdem ist er ION 6 ist eine komplette Neuentwicklung: Er hat eine höhere projizierte Streckung als seine Vorgänger, weniger Krümmung und kürzere Leinen. Außerdem statten wir den Schirm erstmals aus mit:
– leistungsfördernden Mini-Ribs
– Zig-Zag 3D-Shaping
– einem Mini-Rib Vektorband
– sowie Schränkungsverstellung im Schnellflug.
Dies sorgt für einen klaren Leistungszuwachs. Die Positionierung als unkomplizierter EN / LTF B-Schirm mit hoher passiver Sicherheit, der ein extrem breites Spektrum an Piloten glücklich macht, bleibt jedoch gleich.

BUILDING A WING FOR THE X-ALPS – TEST PILOT’S LIFE

To get the XENON (EN/LTF D), our lightweight and high performance 2-liner, certified in time for the Red Bull X-Alps, our test pilots literally had to speed up. Camerawoman Vera Polaschegg documented the passionate work of Fabian Gasteiger, Toni Bender and X-Alps-Athlet @Théo de Blic on Tenerife.
You always wanted to know, what it feels like to be a test pilot – here is a genuine insight.

GLEITSCHIRMENTWICKLUNG FÜR DIE X-ALPS – AUS DEM LEBEN EINES TEST-PILOTEN
Um den XENON (EN/LTF D), unseren ebenso leichten wie leistungsstarken Zweileiner, pünktlich für die Red Bull X-Alps zuzulassen, gaben unsere Testpiloten wortwörtlich ganz schön Gas! Kamerafrau Vera Polaschegg hat Fabian Gasteiger, Toni Bender und X-Alps-Athlet Théo de Blic bei der Feinarbeit auf Teneriffa beobachtet.
