Niviuk Arrow (general info)
The Niviuk Arrow is a versatile pod harness suitable for a wide range of pilots, from intermediate to advanced levels. It’s a great option as a first pod harness for local flying and first XCs, while also being designed to meet the needs of more experienced pilots tackling advanced XCs or entering their first competitions. With a perfect balance of comfort, handling precision, and low weight (3.95 kg in size M), it offers excellent ergonomics, stability, and control.
The harness features optimised aerodynamics for drag reduction, a lightweight protector with great impact absorption, and a smooth, ergonomic speed system for easy acceleration. The large cockpit provides easy in-flight access, and the rear fairing helps improve stability and comfort. Whether you’re just starting or pushing your limits in sport class competitions, the Niviuk Arrow offers the performance and comfort you need for every stage of your flying journey.

Arrow: Aim high, aim far
Superior comfort
Excellent ergonomics and stability. 3D-modelled seat.
Aerodynamics
Optimised aerodynamics for drag reduction and performance.
Light and durable
Perfect balance between durability and reduced weight. Pod harness weighing just 3.95 kg (size M).
Target
Cross-Country
A high-performance harness designed for pilots who want to make the most of their everyday XC adventures and those beginning to compete. A comfortable, stable, light and durable harness designed to help you achieve all your goals.
Features
Protection system
The combination of different materials such as a low-density open cell foam, combined with an ultra-low density closed cell foam, makes for a very safe 15 cm lightweight protector that guarantees an impact absorption up to 34 G.
Cutting-edge safety
Thanks to the applied triangulation, the Arrow is very stable in glide and better absorbs the excess of movements transmitted to the pilot. It includes a T-lock system with only two AustriAlpin Cobra quick releases. Easy to use and extremely safe.
ABS
Anti-roll system (ABS) to regulate the oscillations that occur in flight and therefore increase the stability of the harness so that the wing is not affected. This makes weight-shift much more efficient.
Tailored for you
Structure which adapts to your needs: optimised stability thanks to the applied triangulation system. Adjustable shoulder and chest straps, as well as leg loops. Adjustable back, lumbar and seat side straps to change both the angle and adapt to the shape to the pilot’s body.
Air inlets
During flight, its inflation system with two strategically placed air inlets maintains the shape of the fairing with high internal pressure.
Ergonomics
It has an ergonomic foam backrest that improves comfort especially between the pilot’s back and the rescue parachute. Due to its great flexibility and versatility the harness will envelop the pilot for the perfect fit.
Seat board removable
The seat board is removable so it is possible to fly with 250 grams less, while slightly narrowing the shape of the seat.
Speed-bar system
Speed-bar that incorporates Harken pulleys with bearings for a smoother and more comfortable acceleration. Ergonomic three-step speed-bar.
Efficiency and performance
The rear fairing, which optimises its aerodynamic shape, reduces the drag. Therefore, the fairing improves performance and better balance in yaw, thus providing a more stable, comfortable and precise harness to fly.
Equipped to the highest level
The Arrow is fitted with a large ergonomic and integrated cockpit with a magnet system so it can be opened easily, even in flight. Also a powerpack pocket, suitable for cables of different electronic devices and with a 4 L ballast storage pocket (in size M).
Pod
The Arrow comes in four sizes: S, M, L or XL. The pod can be easily replaced to suit each pilot’s height: every harness size has three pod options. The pod is made of semi-light Lycra for added strength. Adjustments are simple (and lightweight), using a series of adjustable knots and a magnetic closer to minimise any air intake. All of this ensures a great fit and a simple closure system.
Versatile harness with fairing
A top of the range harness that has been designed with optimum weight (3.95 kg in size M) and excellent performance. The best partner for your cross-country flights; it is also suitable for everyday use. In line with the latest Niviuk innovations.
