Niviuk - Rocket R

High-performance aerodynamics

The Rocket R is our high-performance harness, designed to deliver maximum efficiency in competition. It stands out for its aerodynamic profile and exceptional pilot comfort. Its fully inflated shape has been carefully engineered to optimise performance. Our R&D team has focused much of its research on minimising drag and improving stability. Every detail has been refined using CFD simulations and flight tests.

Competition

Created to compete at the highest level. Every detail is designed to help you gain altitude, efficiency and speed, making the most of thermals. The Rocket R is the perfect partner in any competition task.

Cross-country

Uncompromising performance, even on the longest flights. It combines stability, aerodynamics and exceptional comfort, allowing you to maintain a high level of energy and concentration for hours. Ideal for pilots looking to eke out every kilometre.

Optimised aerodynamics

The shape of the Rocket R has not only been optimised with CFD for aerodynamics and stability, but its design also minimises seams and deformations, creating a perfectly smooth, taut, crease-free surface. Special attention has been given to internal pressure and the rigidity of the harness, which, thanks to the use of Nitinol, maintains a uniform and stable shape even in thermals and turbulence. The geometry remains intact at all times, which not only enhances performance but also ensures pleasant in-flight behaviour.

Comfort from head to toe

The Rocket R features a new-generation chassis, inherited from the Drifter 2, with an additional integrated foam layer. It offers maximum comfort with consistent support for the back, legs and hips. Designed with a slim-fit adjustment, the Rocket R is engineered to deliver maximum performance. Its relatively narrow seat enhances aerodynamics and control, offering an optimized experience for pilots seeking top-level capabilities.

Advanced pod design

The Rocket R includes an automatic adjustment system on the front part of the pod (“nose”), which adapts to the pilot’s leg length. A flexible internal Nitinol structure naturally regulates the distance between the footplate and the tip of the pod, ensuring constant, ergonomic contact for different pilot sizes. Additionally, an extra foot pad can be mounted on the foot plate, ensuring an optimal position even for pilots with shorter legs. The magnetic closure makes getting in and out easy, like a conventional harness, while ensuring airtightness. The shell is removable, allowing it to be replaced easily if necessary. The elastic leg adjustments support the nose of the pod, making the takeoff run more comfortable. The sleeves offer maximum freedom of movement without deforming the pod, thus minimising drag throughout all phases of flight.

The perfect setup

Take your performance to the next level by combining the Rocket R with the Icepeak X-One competition wing and the Aero Speedarms. This setup is specifically designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and maximise performance in competitions or long-distance flights. To transport your gear comfortably, the Kargo 220 backpack offers the ideal volume: enough capacity for the Rocket R and all your equipment, keeping everything in perfect condition.

Technical specifications

The total weight of the harness may differ ±2% due to variations in the weight of the fabric supplied by the manufacturers.
