Nova Nexo

XC with confidence

The NEXO was developed for real cross country flying.

Its top speed feels closer to a far more demanding wing. The flight feeling does not.

The new NOVA profile generation provides excellent stability in accelerated flight. The air remains clearly noticeable. The canopy stays compact. Pitch movements are damped while the wing still feels alive. This creates a strong sense of confidence during long glides and demanding transitions.

The NEXO shows how enjoyable XC flying can feel.

Easy launches

The NEXO rises reliably and controllably above the pilot.

The canopy inflates quickly and climbs reliably through the center section. This keeps the wing easy to guide and control throughout launch. Near the top, the canopy naturally reduces its energy, making overshooting far less likely.

Even if pressure is released too early during inflation, the canopy remains manageable and can easily be guided back overhead.

The result is relaxed launches and more fun from the very first moment of the flight.

Safety with reserves

The NEXO was developed with a clear focus on passive safety.

During held collapse simulations, the wing shows very little tendency to rotate toward the collapsed side. Even in real collapses in turbulent conditions, reactions remain controlled and easy to understand. We have tested the NEXO beyond the certification standards.

Reopenings happen quickly. At the same time, the canopy builds very little additional energy. Especially after larger collapses, this helps reduce secondary reactions significantly. Particularly impressive is the behaviour in accelerated flight. Accelerated collapses differ only minimally from unaccelerated ones.

For us, one thing was clear:
A true low B wing proves its quality when conditions become serious.

Intentionally robust

The NEXO was not designed around minimum weight.

The focus was placed on durability, stability and a convincing flight feeling over many years of use.

High quality Porcher materials are used at the leading edge. In the center section, we use the updated coated Dominico 30D fabric. It combines long term durability with pleasant handling, even after frequent use in humidity, dust and demanding conditions. At the same time, the fabric never feels slippery.

Reduced complexity

Short rods in the nose reduce internal complexity and noticeably decrease packing volume. The risers remain intentionally simple. The line concept follows the same philosophy. Clear, trim stable and practical for everyday use.

The NEXO deliberately avoids unnecessary complexity.

Think outside the box.
Instead of dividing the in-built rods and fixing both curved pieces with seams, the rods here simply form a loop. This saves on seams, supports the Air Scoop principle and has no disadvantages in terms of weight and packing volume.

Consistent at top speed.
Using thin webbing at the leading edge, the upper and lower surfaces are connected in the middle of each cell. This promotes leading edge solidity in flight, which is particularly beneficial to performance when flying at speed.

Comfort on the ground.
All NOVA paragliders are simple and straightforward to handle. Using a cell pack bag is possible but not strictly necessary. Our long-standing experience shows that the packing method has only a minor influence on durability, as bent rods usually return to their original shape on their own. What matters is storing the wing in a loosely packed, stress-free manner, so the rods are not subjected to sharp bends. Short-term compact packing or the use of a fast pack bag is unproblematic. For optimal long-term protection of the rods, we recommend a cell pack bag, as it keeps the rods neatly aligned and prevents permanent deformation.

A wing that stays interesting

The NEXO continues to offer enjoyment far beyond the first XC flights.

Its balanced energy behaviour makes safety training intuitive and enjoyable. At the same time, the canopy offers enough dynamics and precision for wingovers, SATs, helicopters and many other advanced manoeuvres.

The NEXO combines thermalling, XC capability and freestyle potential in an exceptionally wide range of use.

One flight. Many possibilities.

Modern by design

With the NEXO, the new NOVA design language now enters the EN B category.

Clean lines, reduced graphics and modern colors give the wing a calm yet dynamic appearance. This new design language first became visible on the XENON 1 and GLITCH and is closely linked to the modern NOVA generation many pilots associate with Theo de Blic.

Clean. Modern. Distinctive.

Who is the NEXO made for?

For everyone looking to combine high passive safety with precise handling and real XC capability.
For pilots who enjoy thermalling, flying cross country and feeling comfortable throughout the entire flight.

• pilots looking for high passive safety
• pilots who want XC capability without constant pressure
• pilots who appreciate precise thermalling behaviour
• pilots who want relaxed accelerated flight behaviour
• pilots looking for a durable wing for many years of flying
• pilots searching for a true allrounder
