Niviuk Arrow M: A Ferrari Look, a Mercedes Ride

The Arrow's strength is not a figure in any single category but balance. It is neither as sharp as the Genie Light 3 nor as reliant on ABS as the Delight 4, while giving both enough feedback to read the air and a seat that never presses. The top-opening cockpit is a small innovation whose value is obvious at once to any pilot who has wrestled with a zip in winter gloves. That said, this assessment concentrates on the refined ride and the convenience. Items that matter to a buying decision — protection, packed weight — are left out of the review. The Arrow is a harness that hides a surprisingly calm, well-ordered ride behind a flashy exterior. It suits the pilot who wants to feel the air clearly yet stay comfortably aloft all day, rather than the one chasing stimulation.
