Artik R 2: Niviuk’s most accessible EN C 2-liner glider


The Niviuk Artik R 2 marks a new milestone in the evolution of high-performance EN C gliders. This two-liner wing is designed for experienced pilots seeking advanced performance without sacrificing safety or dealing with the demands of a competition wing. It brings technology from higher-category gliders into a more accessible, easy-to-fly Sport Class model.

Accessible performance


The two-line plan delivers a much cleaner and more efficient flying experience. By reducing the line drag, the Artik R 2 offers improved glide and faster transitions. With a moderate aspect ratio of 6.5, it delivers outstanding performance in real XC conditions, while remaining accessible.

Active control, dynamic handling


The Artik R 2 stands out for its feeling in flight. It offers precise, direct handling and lively, responsive manoeuvrability. The optimised B-riser control system allows efficient piloting during accelerated flight, helping maintain the ideal angle of attack without deforming the profile. This makes it an ideal progression wing for pilots moving up from a high EN B or traditional EN C, and looking to step into the two-liner world with confidence.

Stability and efficiency in thermals


In thermals, the Artik R 2 reacts intuitively and climbs efficiently. It’s very stable in pitch and requires minimal effort to centre in lift.

Our EN C 2-liner is built for long-distance performance, designed to slice through the moving air with dolphin-like efficiency. Thanks to its airfoil, in transition you can fully benefit from the air’s positive energy and have a super smooth glide. At speed bar, it subtly adjusts its trajectory to follow the best lift lines, maximizing lift and minimizing sink for more efficient and performant glides. A true cross-country machine that turns every metre of lift into kilometres of distance.

It finds a sweet spot between sensitivity, passive safety and climbing performance.

Materials and durability


Built with a combination of durable materials, the Artik R 2 features a redesigned internal structure that distributes loads more effectively. It’s a robust but compact wing, perfectly suited for pilots looking for gear that can handle many hours of mountain or cross-country flying.

Who is it for?


The Artik R 2 is aimed at pilots with solid experience on EN B or EN C gliders, who are looking for a more efficient, high-performance wing that offers a sportier feel without the extreme demands of a D-class or CCC wing. It's a top choice for XC pilots, ambitious sport pilots, and even those looking to perform in Sport Class competitions. 

If you are one of them, order your Artik R 2 from your nearest dealer.

“ Pilot feedback… 
 


“The Artik R 2 launches effortlessly, handles precisely in thermals, and gives constant feedback through the tips. It feels pressurized and safe, becomes very stable at speed, and flies with high performance and control. With X-One technology clearly at work, it stands out as a top-level wing for both competition and distance flying.”

Manuel Grandi | Pilot | Italy



“The Artik R 2 evolves the EN-C 2-liner concept to its performance/safety peak—benefits that carry across our range.”

  • Arrow: optimised aerodynamics
The Arrow pod harness is the perfect match for the Artik R 2. Designed for performance-focused pilots, it offers excellent aerodynamics, stability at high speed, and ergonomic support. Its structure allows precise control in every phase of flight, with exceptional comfort. 
  To carry your Artik R 2 and gear with ease, the Niviuk Kargo rucksacks are the ideal choice. Built with tough, lightweight materials, they offer the right volume depending on your wing size:
 
- Kargo 130: Perfect for smaller sizes (20, 21, 23) with room for your wing, harness and accessories.

- Kargo 180: Ideal for larger sizes (24, 25, 27) or for pilots who need to carry more gear, while maintaining comfort and balanced load distribution.

Both models are designed for comfort and breathability, with a modern and functional aesthetic.
