Niviuk Ikuma 2 (24): An Accessible High-B With Top-Tier Glide

The Ikuma 2's strengths are clear. The launch could hardly be smoother, and the short, definite brake cores a narrow thermal at once. The glide sits beside the five best high-B wings, and because the pressure never runs heavy, there's still strength in the arms after a long flight. It's a wing that hands you top-tier performance without the matching burden. There is one condition attached. When the air breaks up and the valley breeze pushes in, a slight pitch back delays the core entry, and in that moment the wing asks for the pilot's active input. So the Ikuma 2 isn't a wing that flies rough days for you. For most of the time it gives comfort and glide freely, and only in the genuinely nasty moments does it ask to borrow the controlling hand for a beat.
