TAKOO 5

IT’S TIME TO GET CLOSER

We wish to welcome you to our team and thank you for your confidence in 
our glider product line.

We would like to share the enthusiasm with which we created the TAKOO 
5 and the importance and care we took in the design and manufacture of 
this new model in order to offer maximum pleasure on every flight with a 
Niviuk glider. 

The fifth generation of the Takoo marks the end of distancing between pilot 
and passenger. A stable, safe wing with excellent maneuverability to satisfy 
the demands of both adventurers.

We are confident you will enjoy flying this glider and will soon discover the 
meaning of our motto:
 “The importance of small details”.
This is the user manual and we recommend you read it carefully.

USER’S MANUAL

NIVIUK Gliders TAKOO 5 

This manual provides you with the necessary information on the main 
characteristics of your new TAKOO 5.

Whilst it provides information on the wing, it cannot be viewed as an 
instructional handbook and does not offer the training required to fly 
this type of paraglider. Training can only be undertaken at a certified 
paragliding school and each country has its own system of licensing.
Only the aeronautical authorities of respective countries can determine 
pilot competence.

The information in this manual is provided in order to warn you against 
adverse flying situations and potential dangers.

Equally, we would like to remind you that it is important to carefully read all 
the contents of your new TAKOO 5 manual. 

Misuse of this equipment could lead to severe injuries or death. The 
manufacturers and dealers cannot be held responsible for misuse of the 
paraglider. It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure the equipment is 
used correctly.
