3DL - adding an extra reinforced seam to the leading edge helps to
ensure more consistency and volume in the profile. This provides a more
efficient 3D contour.
Drag Reduction Structure (DRS) - the trailing edge has been reinforced
with small ribs in order to distribute the pressure more evenly. This results
in excellent manoeuvrability and greater control and precision.
Radial Sliced Diagonal (RSD) - a reinvention of the wing’s internal
structure. This new design is based on individual diagonal panels
arranged in radial form, which increase the efficiency of the internal
structure considerably.
Interlock System (IKS) - the IKS 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 with any load.
IKS1000 is designed and dimensioned as a connection system between
the risers and the lines. It has a breaking load of 1055 kg, which greatly
exceeds that of the classic 3mm (550 kg) maillon, but with much less
weight. This feature makes it a key element in the entire range of
P-Series (lightweight) wings, which are delivered with this technology as
standard.
Please note: the IKS1000 kg system was not designed nor certified
to connect the risers to the harness and/or a rescue parachute to the
harness. For that specific function, Niviuk developed the IKS3000. For

IKS INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate the elastic sleeve’s inner small diameter tube.
2. Push the IKS line through it. Only push it through the inner channel
once.
3. Now push the IKS line through the line loops and the riser. The
reinforced end with the black tab should be located on the side
of the riser.
4. Push the upper looped end downward through the elastic sleeve (not
the small diameter tube) and then through the reinforced loop end where
the black tab is located.
5. Pass this same end through the riser.
6. Now pass the end back through the sleeve (not through the channel)
and then through the line loops.
7. Re-pass it through the sleeve (not through the channel) and then
through the reinforced end loop.
