TARGET & ADVANTAGES

Progression & Cross-Country

The ideal harness for those pilots who want to start venturing into the world of cross-country. Stable, comfortable and light, designed especially for everyday long flights.

Your first pod harness

The Hawk is part of the new generation of Niviuk harnesses. Its design makes it the ideal model to make the transition from an open to a pod harness, but without a rear fairing. Pilots who want their first pod harness with unprecedented safety can stop looking now: the Hawk is the best choice.

Pod

The Hawk comes in four sizes: S, M, L or XL.

The pod can be easily replaced and will 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.

Equipped to the highest level

The Hawk 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).

A safe and simple closure system

It includes a T-lock system with only two AustriAlpin Cobra quick releases. This system was designed to provide the utmost safety. Due to its great flexibility and versatility, the harness will envelop the pilot for the perfect fit. It is easy to use and extremely safe.

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 protection that guarantees an impact absorption up to 43 G.

Niviuk Technologies

Anti-roll system (ABS) to regulate the oscillations that occur in flight and which increases the stability of the harness so that the wing is not affected. This makes weight-shift much more efficient.

Speed-bar that incorporates Harken pulleys with bearings for a smoother and more comfortable acceleration. Ergonomic three-step speed-bar.

The seat board is removable so it is possible to fly with 250 grams less, while slightly narrowing the shape of the seat.

Structure which adapts to your needs: adjustable chest and shoulder straps, as well as leg loops. Adjustable back, side and lumbar straps to change both the angle and adapt to the shape to the pilot's body.

Equipment: a pocket to incorporate a water bladder (Camelbak) and the drink tube as well as a ballast compartment below the seat. Side parachute compartment.

As with all Niviuk products, colour-coding has been used on the Hawk’s attachment points: left-hand side is red, right-hand side is green.
