Set your new challenges

WELCOME

We wish to welcome you to our team and thank you for the confidence 
that you have placed in a NIVIUK Glider.
We would like to share with you the commitment, the passion and 
emotions of the Niviuk design team, which have resulted in the creation 
of the new ICEPEAK 6. Niviuk are very proud of this new glider, a glider 
carefully designed to bring you maximum pleasure whilst allowing you 
learn and progress.

We are really proud of what we have achieved with the IP6 .With this 
glider we have  applied all our years of knowledge in research design and 
technology to create a wing for the new mandatory rules in world class 
competitions. 
With its new profile,the ICEPEAK 6 was born to high competition 
challenges, but at the same time to cross the world in the greatest XC 
flights. Once again, our R+D have been able to reduce the aspect ratio 
keeping the same performance of our open class gliders.
This is the new glider for the new era. It offers maximum efficiency and 
compromise.
We are confident that you will enjoy flying this wing and that you will soon 
understand the meaning of our slogan:

“The importance of small details”
This is the user’s manual that we recommend you to read in detail.

The NIVIUK Gliders Team.
