Niviuk Kode 2 P
Like the younger brother of the coolest kid in school, the Niviuk Kode 2 P landed on the scene with high expectations and a reputation to precede it. While more reserved and cautious than its daring and sharp-witted older brother, the Kode 2 P retains the same effortless cool and playful spirit. From the arc profile to the line layout, the Kode 2 P learned from its predecessor's smooth moves and refined them for a more approachable, user-friendly experience. The wing's center arc has been slightly flattened, lending greater roll stability and improved control in turns, giving it more predictable, less dynamic characteristics than the original Kode P. Improved slow-speed performance and an even more progressive stall point all but guarantee intuitive, gentle, and precise landings. Owing to a new internal construction, the number of lines has been significantly reduced, clarifying the layout during those dusky pre-flight checks. The undersurface fabric has been lightened, reducing weight and increasing packability, and all sizes now share a modestly updated riser design featuring split A-risers. Raised under the same roof and sharing genes with Niviuk's original king of cool, the Kode 2 P delivers ultralight performance in a more approachable, user-friendly package.
- Notably more roll- and pitch-stable than the original, the Kode 2 P provides a mellower, more approachable flying experience.
- Improved slow-speed performance is great for light-wind soaring and for precise, gentle landings in technical LZs.
- The bottom skin is now made from ultralight, durable Dokdo 22g/m2 fabric, further reducing wing weight.
- Ultra-thin, shape-memory Nitinol rods in the leading edge offer exceptional durability and shape retention.
- Fewer lines and branch points are easier to check and clear on launch.
