Niviuk Arrow P Race Target
Competition
The Arrow P Race is designed for competition pilots. It is the ideal companion during competitions, especially hike & fly races. Aerodynamics, high performance and low weight will assist you to achieve your best results.Niviuk Arrow P Race
Niviuk Arrow P Race Features
Choose the one that suits you best
Unlike the Arrow P, in order to prioritise its lightness and meet the requirements at a competitive level, the Arrow P Race does not offer the possibility of adjusting the ventral strap or removing the fairing. However, the shoulder, back and lumbar straps can be adjusted to adapt the angle and the harness to the pilot’s body shape.

Aerodynamic performance
The fairing optimises its aerodynamic shape, reducing drag. This makes it more balanced in yaw, resulting in a more stable, high-performing and precise harness.

Integrated parachute
Niviuk has focused on safety and ease of use by integrating the parachute container on the right side of the harness. This makes it more user-friendly, especially in everyday use, and much more comfortable.

Excellent stability in flight
In order to ensure total comfort, Niviuk’s R&D team has worked hard on the chassis to guarantee a high level of flight stability. Thanks to the triangulation system applied, the Arrow P Race is a stable harness that better absorbs excess movements transmitted to the pilot, making it more efficient, especially in accelerated flight.

Protection system
Niviuk has worked to develop a very compact foam protection that offers the best compromise between lightness and impacts absorption. At 14 cm thick and weighing 320 g, it is made of three different layers of low density foam. This protection helps to provide a very comfortable seat without the need for a seat plate on the harness
Additionally, you can order Apair inflatable protection. It is ideal for pilots looking for small volume, safety and lightness on their hike & fly adventures. EN and LTF certified, this ultralight protector weights only 240 g and distinguishes itself by its efficiency and practicality. It is delivered with the Infbag cover, which facilitates inflation and also serves as a compression bag for packing and transporting the harness.

Niviuk Arrow P Race Super-light
An ultra-light harness, from 1.49 kg, the perfect partner for hike & fly enthusiasts. Like all Niviuk’s P Series products, light materials have been used for its development. For example, the pod is made of 32 g/m2 Dokdo, an ultra-lightweight fabric with good tear resistance, and the rest is made of Lycra light for added stretch. The inflatable fairing is made from Skytex 27 g internally and externally.Niviuk Arrow P Race

P Series pod harness
Thanks to technical know-how and optimisation of materials, Niviuk have been able to develop the Arrow P Race: one of the lightest pod harnesses on the market, without sacrificing the features and performance of the standard models. It has been extensively researched in terms of structure, materials, durability and strength. Big teamwork to offer the best quality in all aspects.
Arrow P Race, for the most extreme
Niviuk’s R&D team developed the Arrow P Race, the version of this harness specially designed for the X-Alps.

Extended Racing Performance Analysis – Gain the Competitive Edge
Aerodynamic Efficiency That Translates to Victory
In competitive paragliding, every fraction of a second counts. The Niviuk Arrow P Race harness is meticulously engineered to provide optimal glide efficiency, reduced drag, and precision control for high-speed racing scenarios. Unlike traditional harnesses, it allows pilots to maintain their intended flight path while minimizing energy loss caused by turbulence or body drag.pilot harness
-
Optimized Weight Distribution: The Arrow P Race maintains your center of gravity in alignment with the wing’s aerodynamic profile, allowing for smoother transitions during high-speed turns and thermal climbs.
-
High-Speed Stability: Its aerodynamic shell reduces oscillations during rapid maneuvers, ensuring you retain control even in gusty conditions.
-
Micro-Adjustable Geometry: Fine-tune leg and back angles for improved lift and reduced pilot fatigue, crucial for long cross-country tasks.
These enhancements allow pilots to maximize performance potential in competitions while reducing physical strain, giving a measurable advantage on race days.
Dynamic Feedback for Intuitive Control
One of the most critical aspects of a racing harness is how effectively it communicates wing behavior to the pilot. The Arrow P Race excels in providing real-time feedback:
-
Responsive Shoulder and Lumbar Systems: Every weight shift and input is precisely transmitted to the wing, resulting in sharper turns and enhanced maneuverability.
-
Integrated Stability Modules: The harness subtly adjusts to aerodynamic forces, keeping the pilot balanced without compromising comfort.
-
Minimal Energy Loss: The combination of carbon structure and streamlined padding reduces unwanted movement, allowing the pilot’s actions to directly influence wing performance.
Pilots consistently report increased confidence and “one-with-the-wing” sensation, crucial for racing and performance XC flights.
Glide Ratio Optimization
In competitive environments, glide efficiency often decides the difference between a podium finish and mid-field placement. The Arrow P Race improves glide ratios through:
-
Tapered Tail Fairing: Reduces wake turbulence behind the pilot, improving overall lift-to-drag performance.
-
Compact Seating Profile: Ensures less frontal exposure and smoother airflow around the body.
-
Aerodynamic Line Integration: Straps and buckles are placed to minimize disruption to airflow, allowing the harness to move in harmony with the wing.Niviuk Arrow P Race
These features collectively allow pilots to cover more distance with less energy, maintaining higher average speeds over long courses.Niviuk Arrow P Race
