Nova Ibex 4 Super Lightweight Paragliders The versatile fun machine (EN/LTF A)
Light, high performance, fast, uncomplicated, safe and just pure fun: the IBEX 4 is a versatile, super-lightweight paraglider (from 3.0 kg) with a multitude of uses and an extraordinarily wide weight-range. It is suitable for hike & fly, travelling, recreational flying, mountaineering, flying under instruction and strong-wind soaring.
IBEX – Wherever you go
Concept – a complete new design
Target Group and Uses
- Hike & Fly: low weight, small packing volume, simple launch characteristics, good performance, The IBEX 4 is a reliable partner in the mountains.
- Recreational flying: the IBEX 4 is simple to launch, turns wonderfully and offers a high level of passive safety. Exactly what is needed for relaxed thermalling.
- Travelling: there is little room in luggage and usually there are weight restrictions. At the destination, safe and wonderful flights are usually the goal, rather than record-breaking endeavours. Perfect for the IBEX 4.
- Instruction: easy take off characteristics and low weight make the IBEX 4 a training slope favourite.
- Soaring: Flown at the top of the weight-range, the IBEX 4 offers a lot of fun flying in strong winds – whilst retaining a high level of passive safety.
- Cross-country: in general, EN/LTF A wings are not primarily designed for cross-country flying. But the performance of the IBEX 4 is so good that cross-country flights can be undertaken without problems.
For additional queries, your NOVA dealer will be happy to advise on the correct wing and wing-size.
Weight-ranges
We recommend:
- Relaxed = low wing-loading: for best sink rate and calm flying behaviour.
- Standard = medium wing-loading: recreational flying, longer thermic flights and/or cross-country.
- Dynamic = high wing-loading: flying in high mountains (when flying down and “getting off” are priorities), strong-wind soaring (e.g. at the coast) or generally more dynamic and higher speed.
Launch characteristics: extremely easy!
Useful information
- Low weight: the IBEX 4 is a very light wing (XS: 3.25 kg, 70–100 kg all-up weight) and amongst the safe lightweight wing class it has very good glide performance. The IBEX 4 glides better and flies faster than a single skin wing.
- Simple is best: we have used as few lines as possible; all the main lines are sheathed. The ground handling and flying characteristics have been designed for maximum controllability.
- The super-thin, sheathed PPSLS 65 lines make sorting them on the ground easy and they cause less drag in flight.
- Fully guaranteed: one year of NOVA Protect, three years of guarantee. This is extended to four years if an NTT is performed.
- NTT inclusive: pilots from Germany or Austria who register their wing at myNOVA within 14 days of purchase are entitled to our unique NOVA Trim Tuning – free of charge.
