H: ICARO Nikita 3 Paraglider: Aerobatic

 

After more than one year of development and many micro-adjustments, the new NIKITA³ paraglider went to the first world cup competition in Ölideniz, Turkey, in May. In the first run, Xandi Meschuh immediately placed in the top of the field on his new NIKITA ³, earning 2nd place.  He held this position until he couldn't complete his last maneuver in the final run, and got a point deduction.  Despite the point deduction, he finished in 4th place overall in the paragliding aerobatics competition. 

Congratulations! Xandi is thrilled with his brand-new NIKITA ³ and is looking forward to new challenges in the world of paragliding aerobatics.

Xandi speaks of ICARO's new paraglider:

"The new NIKITA ³ is simply brilliant! The stability of the canopy in the Rhythmic SAT and the Infinity is incredibly high. The Helicopter connections run fluently and there is no trend for getting stuck or for premature exiting. The Mistyflips, Mac Twists and X choppers can be initiated exactly, and the wing stays open and solid."

In any case, Nikita 3 is a paraglider with striking character.  After all, ICARO's Femme Fatale needs a sensitive touch. But which woman doesn't?
