NOVA Performance Paragliders

The NEXO (low EN-B) is made for everyone who simply loves flying. Compact in feel, precise in handling and surprisingly capable, it combines passive safety with real XC potential and intuitive flight behaviour. From first thermal flights to long cross country days. From safety training to freestyle manoeuvres.

The NEXO simply makes flying feel good.

Simply fly

The NEXO was created around a clear idea.

Many pilots are no longer looking for an extreme wing. They want to go flying, enjoy thermals, cover distance and feel comfortable throughout the entire flight. That is exactly what the NEXO was designed for.

A wing with high passive safety, precise handling and real XC capability. Compact in feel. Clear in feedback. High performing without becoming demanding.

A modern allrounder for everyone who simply loves flying.

Compact and precise

The NEXO delivers exactly the kind of feedback pilots actually need in the air.

The canopy feels compact. Feedback remains clear without becoming nervous. There are no hectic load changes and no distracting wingtip movements.

The wing enters thermals cleanly and centers intuitively. In turns, it stays calm and flat. Handling feels direct and controlled.

The result is a thermalling experience that remains relaxed while climbing efficiently.

Safe

XC with confidence

The NEXO was developed for real cross country flying.

Its top speed feels closer to a far more demanding wing. The flight feeling does not.

The new NOVA profile generation provides excellent stability in accelerated flight. The air remains clearly noticeable. The canopy stays compact. Pitch movements are damped while the wing still feels alive.

This creates a strong sense of confidence during long glides and demanding transitions.

The NEXO shows how enjoyable XC flying can feel.

Easy launches

The NEXO rises reliably and controllably above the pilot.

The canopy inflates quickly and climbs reliably through the center section. This keeps the wing easy to guide and control throughout launch. Near the top, the canopy naturally reduces its energy, making overshooting far less likely.

Even if pressure is released too early during inflation, the canopy remains manageable and can easily be guided back overhead.

The result is relaxed launches and more fun from the very first moment of the flight.

Safety with reserves

The NEXO was developed with a clear focus on passive safety.

During held collapse simulations, the wing shows very little tendency to rotate toward the collapsed side. Even in real collapses in turbulent conditions, reactions remain controlled and easy to understand. We have tested the NEXO beyond the certification standards.

Reopenings happen quickly. At the same time, the canopy builds very little additional energy. Especially after larger collapses, this helps reduce secondary reactions significantly.
Particularly impressive is the behaviour in accelerated flight. Accelerated collapses differ only minimally from unaccelerated ones.

For us, one thing was clear:
A true low B wing proves its quality when conditions become serious.

Construction

Intentionally robust

The NEXO was not designed around minimum weight.

The focus was placed on durability, stability and a convincing flight feeling over many years of use.

High quality Porcher materials are used at the leading edge. In the center section, we use the updated coated Dominico 30D fabric. It combines long term durability with pleasant handling, even after frequent use in humidity, dust and demanding conditions. At the same time, the fabric never feels slippery.

Reduced complexity

Short rods in the nose reduce internal complexity and noticeably decrease packing volume. The risers remain intentionally simple. The line concept follows the same philosophy. Clear, trim stable and practical for everyday use.

The NEXO deliberately avoids unnecessary complexity.

Technology

Think outside the box.

Instead of dividing the in-built rods and fixing both curved pieces with seams, the rods here simply form a loop. This saves on seams, supports the Air Scoop principle and has no disadvantages in terms of weight and packing volume.

Consistent at top speed.

Using thin webbing at the leading edge, the upper and lower surfaces are connected in the middle of each cell. This promotes leading edge solidity in flight, which is particularly beneficial to performance when flying at speed.

Comfort on the ground.

All NOVA paragliders are simple and straightforward to handle. Using a cell pack bag is possible but not strictly necessary. Our long-standing experience shows that the packing method has only a minor influence on durability, as bent rods usually return to their original shape on their own.

What matters is storing the wing in a loosely packed, stress-free manner, so the rods are not subjected to sharp bends. Short-term compact packing or the use of a fast pack bag is unproblematic. For optimal long-term protection of the rods, we recommend a cell pack bag, as it keeps the rods neatly aligned and prevents permanent deformation.

A wing that stays interesting

The NEXO continues to offer enjoyment far beyond the first XC flights.

Its balanced energy behaviour makes safety training intuitive and enjoyable. At the same time, the canopy offers enough dynamics and precision for wingovers, SATs, helicopters and many other advanced manoeuvres.

The NEXO combines thermalling, XC capability and freestyle potential in an exceptionally wide range of use.

One flight. Many possibilities.

Modern by design

With the NEXO, the new NOVA design language now enters the EN B category.

Clean lines, reduced graphics and modern colors give the wing a calm yet dynamic appearance. This new design language first became visible on the XENON 1 and GLITCH and is closely linked to the modern NOVA generation many pilots associate with Theo de Blic.

Clean. Modern. Distinctive.

Weight range

For relaxed thermalling, we recommend flying the NEXO in the middle of the certified weight range.

Pilots who spend a lot of time accelerated between thermals will feel particularly comfortable in the upper third of the range.

For more dynamic flying and maximum agility, we recommend the upper end of the weight range.

Looking for something lighter?

The DOUBLESKIN 2 is our ultra-light entry glider, designed for pilots who value minimal weight without compromising ease of use. It offers a particularly robust construction for its class and features precise, efficient brake handling, ideal for developing thermalling skills.

Whether you're heading out for relaxed hike & fly adventures, exploring your first thermals, or taking your initial steps into cross-country flying, the DOUBLESKIN 2 provides a smooth and confidence-inspiring platform to grow as a pilot.

Thinking about something safer?

The AONIC 2 is our high-performance EN-A glider for ambitious beginners. As a semi-light design, it combines excellent passive safety with noticeably higher performance within its class.

With its refined construction, increased cell count, and efficient glide, the AONIC 2 opens the door to longer flights, first cross-country experiences, and continuous progression, while always maintaining a high level of comfort and confidence.

Scope of delivery

Repair kit.

Everyone hopes it will never happen: a hole or tear in the paraglider. We have included a minor damage repair kit in the right colour or transparent for such an eventuality.

Manual.

We have enclosed a very detailed manual which contains everything you need to know about your flying equipment. Please study it before flying your gear for the first time.

Service

Every NOVA paraglider comes with a big package of extra services and guarantees. When you buy the wing you get more than just the product¹.

Optimise your wing.

During the initial flights the lines are subjected to real loads for the first time. This leads to stretching and shrinking - regardless of which line material is used. During NOVA Trim Tuning² our software analyses how out of trim the glider has become and then calculates the required correction values. Trim Tuning aids safety and increases your flying fun.

More than a check.

The NOVA Full Service is more than just a check. Just like the Trim Tuning, we analyse the line lengths and ensure that the wing is restored to the optimal profile alignment across the whole of the span. Additionally we give the wing a full health check. Our NOVA Full Service gives you confidence in your wing.

Three years without worry.

If your wing has undergone NOVA Trim Tuning, the date to the next check is extended from two years to three years. The two-year check becomes a three-year check. This allows you to have an extra year of carefree flying. Please note the maximum permitted flying hours in the manual.

Full four year warranty.

As standard, NOVA provides a three year, rather than a two year, guarantee on its paragliders. If your wing has undergone NOVA Trim Tuning and a NOVA Full Service, then we will extend the guarantee for a further year to four years. You get a good feeling flying a NOVA wing.

Everything available, anytime.

If you register your wing at myNOVA, it is added to our Quality Assurance Database. In the database - accessed through myNOVA - you can download all the key data about your wing. The database will also assist the person servicing your glider by getting information about your glider at the click of a button. Your glider will be more comprehensively checked.

1 The guarantee and service provision is limited, subject to conditions and not offered to the same extent in all countries. Detailed information is available in our guarantee conditions.

2 This service is included in the purchase price in selected countries. Please contact your dealer for more information.

FAQ

What should I do or avoid doing in order to maximise the durability of my wing?

Avoid UV rays: minimise its exposure to the sun!
Store the wing open or loosely folded, dry, in a ventilated dark place.
Store the wing loosely folded, in a dry, dark place.
Never store a damp wing.
Don't drag the wing across the ground (especially the leading edge and rods).
Avoid sand and dust.
Never clean it with a hard brush or detergents.
If it is dirty, use a soft sponge and lots of water.
Allow a damp or wet glider to dry completely before storing.
Keep the wing away from acids and acid vapours (car battery).

When should I send my wing for its first NOVA Trim Tuning (NTT)?

During the initial flights the lines are first subjected to load. This load induces a small degree of stretching and shrinking. These are not associated with the line manufacturers or the quality of workmanship - in the factory all NOVA paragliders are trimmed and pre-stretched to within a very low tolerance. To adjust this stretching or shrinking, we recommend that the wing is taken for NTT (NOVA Trim Tuning) after ten to twenty flights - after one year at the very latest. Generally, the line lengths remain constant after the first ten to twenty hours. To make full use of the NTT, NOVA encourages all pilots to have their wing checked after ten to twenty flying hours.

How should I pack my wing?

Simplicity is our motto. Our wings can be packed using a concertina bag, but it is not essential. You can fold this wing using your preferred method and pack it in our stuff sack. Be careful not to bend the leading edge rods unnecessarily. This is particularly true if the wing is to be stored for longer periods or if it is packed tightly.

Why is there no light version?

Thanks to intelligent material selection, simulations, and practical tests, this paraglider is lighter than its predecessor, yet more robust and durable. The pack volume has also been optimized. All these advantages have led to this model now only being available in this version.

Developed for many flights. Not just the next step.
