Niviuk Hook 2 review in Thermik magazine

In its latest issue, Thermik, the German paragliding magazine, has just published a test review on the Niviuk Hook 2. It highlights the wing´s easy launch characteristics in many variable conditions. The magazine also talks about the natural instinct of the wing in flight, saying it can be flown almost entirely with the thoughts of the pilot. The brakes are comfortable, precise and very efficient.
