NOVA says no more creases with the Speedbrake Riser

NEWS NOVA

NOVA’s “Speedbrake Riser” is the first triple-set riser which enables the pilot to hold the glider in an accelerated or decelerated configuration without distorting the profile.

Increased traction on the C’s penalises performance

NOVA admits to not being a huge fan of C-steering handles because they tend to distort the canopy’s surface which as a result, reduces performance. To overcome this, the manufacturer, together with Robert Schaller*, has developped the “Speedbrake Riser”: the B and C risers are connectd by a strap which, when the C’s are shortened in length (pulled), have an immediate effect on the B lines. The result is a perfectly smooth deceleration of the glider without the canopy creasing. The new system promises to bring greater performance to pilots flying cross country.
