Escape from overcrowded takeoffs to launch with cool serenity, share a mountain flight with good friends, or travel the world in search of poetic flights amidst stunning landscapes…that's what we dream of. Inspired by this vision, the Nervures philosophy is based on the freedom from constraints. The goal is to preserve the spirit of Free Flight. Nervures research, based on weight reduction is also valuable for security: a light canopy is easier to control in harsh conditions. But "light weight" does not mean "light duty". The high performance fabrics we have carefully selected and field tested exhibit excellent resistance to ageing. Nervures believes that the pilot and the wing must work together in harmony, the company works hard to produce the legendary Nervures handling: a progressive and linear feedback which makes the pilot feel at one with the wing. Nervures wings are not manufactured in emerging countries, in fact they are manufactured in Europe, in France to be precise. The workers are well paid and work in an environment of the highest standards. This does not mean that the paragliders are more expensive, on the contrary the prices are very competitive, but the profit margins are smaller. As the paragliders are being produced on site, you get the best after sale service and maintenance possible because Nervures knows each individual paraglider that is sold. The best of both worlds! Beginner, expert, mountain addict or free flight vagabond, there is a Nervures Paraglider designed to share your adventures. Easy to inflate and graced with intuitive piloting, it will give you true freedom. Whether in the bag or in flight your Nervures wing will become a natural extension of yourself. Nervures, designed for the natural born Adventurer.

Faïal is a
volcanic island of the Azores archipelago.
During a
transoceanic sailing voyage, Manu Bonte from Nervures had the chance to
stop in the Azores.
The kindness of
people, scenic beauty and the magic of a few flights in this environment have left a strong memory. Nervures wanted to pay tribute to this corner
of paradise by naming the newest paraglider after one of the nine
islands of the archipelago. The Faïal is a seriously fun wing. It combines sound behavior with excellent performance. It suits an improving pilot with some thermal flying experience but also the more experienced pilots looking for a reassuring wing to fly with peace of mind. Everyone will like its precise and natural turning characteristic as well as its performance potential.
• Easy inflation even with null wind it will lift straight away. • Easy to handle, flat turn at the beginning of the control range. Good roll control by weight shift. • Seriously fun wing and easy to fly. • Good behaviour at low speeds. • Gentle recovery. • Light weight even in Standard: size M (80-100 kg) less than 5 kg. • High build quality: ergonomic neoprene swivelled handle, Velcro tabs on wing tips for cleaning. The Faïal Motor Glider is available with Nervures PPG risers including trim tabs and anti-torque hook-in points. |

| Nervures Faïal Bivouac Paraglider $4000 Return to top | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Following the
Valluna Bivouac, the Faïal Bivouac was designed to be the perfect
companion for bivouac flights. Echoing the geometric characteristics of
Faial, the Bivouac has a very light inflation
 that can be launched in
difficult locations. The ultra-light wing provides excellent stability
and it is easy to control in turbulent conditions
This model has been the object of our attention with regard to the size of its pilots. The Bivouac Faïal is the inheritor of the Valluna Bivouac, the paraglider that made it possible for daring adventurers to live wild dreams through the heart of wilderness. The kilometers they have covered and the flight hours flown gave us proof that our choices and critical materials were not only optimal in terms of lightness, but also sustainable. "And I'm here to tell you, this wing rocks. I absolutely love the way it comes up on launch the first time, every time, particularly on rougher launches (given the light weight material). Very nicely responsive and predictable with no surprises. Not much seat time yet, but I'm loving it. Same with the harness; great piece of kit as it swallows all my junk while flying and allows me to strap the trekking poles on the outside. Very cool. Thanks for your better-than-superb customer service." Marc Dumas |

| Nervures Kailash Paraglider $4200 Return to top | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kailash mountain, 6714m, is located
in Tibet. On the Tibetan flag it symbolizes the Tibetan land surrounded
by the snow capped mountains. Holy mountain for the Hindus and the
Buddhists, it has never been climbed. Kailash means "bright like
crystal" in Tibetan.While designing the Kailash Nervures wanted to get an ambitious sport wing, fun to fly and aggressive in thermals with high level of performance and safety. The results are impressive and the EN 926-2005 certification report says it all: a majority of As and only 2 Cs for accelerated 75% collapses. However the sportive behavior of the Kailash will particularly suits the demanding XC pilots. Lift at take-off is instantaneous. In flight, the feeling of speed is confirmed by the speedometer. The response to control inputs is direct, however the Kailash can be flown very slowly and still stay maneuverable. In thermals the Kailash glides smoothly while coring. The yaw is perfectly balanced and the turn performance is high and precise allowing you to core intuitively. Its sharp behavior gives it excellent glide during head wind transition. The long traveling speed system allows for high speed. The polar is still very flat on the first bar. Nervures have paid particular attention to the quality of accessories; the risers are made of 12mm webbing and fitted with ultra light double bar accelerator. The Kailash Motor Glider is available with Nervures PPG risers including trim tabs and anti-torque hook-in points.

| Nervures Kailash Bivouac Paraglider $4400 Return to top | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Kailash is also available and
certified in ultra light weight version; 4.3kg for the size M (measured
weight including thin lines and dyneema risers). Nervures experience for the
last two years with the Skytex 27 on the Huapi Mountains, Valluna
Bivouac and more recently the heavy loaded Swoop Mountain, allows us to
guarantee the best longevity on this light product. The Kailash Bivouac can be ordered with sheathed lines and/or 12mm risers without extra charges. It is supplied with a choice of either 75 liter Mountain Bag, 110 liter Bivouac Bag (default) or 150 liter Site Bag. "I just wanted to write and say THANKS! for selling me a fantastic wing. In the months since I received my Kailash Bivouac it has seen everything from strong thermal conditions to high wind ridge soaring, and even the occasional early morning no wind launch from my favorite hiking hill. In my 15 years of flying paragliders, I can say without a doubt that this is the finest, most versatile intermediate level wing I have ever flown. There truly is something special about the way this glider flies that can’t be put down on the spec sheets. A pilot is always anxious when buying a new wing, wondering if the right choice has been made. Well, the Kailash was definitely the right choice! Thanks again for your patience and guidance." Best wishes, Mark Sivazlian

Nervures
have kept things as simple as possible: short lines and with trimmers,
the speed bar is eliminated. The LOL is just fun to fly: its easy launch, precise
handling and small turning radius make it super agile and easy to core
small thermals yet flat turns are easy too. The LOL drastically widens
the range of possibilities and sensations. 
traveling or mountaineering. Nil wind
inflation is outstanding; the slightest breath of air is enough to
bring it above the head. Its reduced aspect ratio makes it easy to
control the wing in all conditions. Strong wind, side wind, it makes
light work of the elements to enable the easiest take off possible.
It offers excellent lifting and flare characteristics without
compromising the high level of passive safety to carry passengers in
serenity. It is very nice to fly and under the total flying weight
of 160 kg its performance allows cross country flights. The wing
structure (V-ribs) and Nervures' experience in mountain gliders
ensure that the wing will age very well. The innovative
spreader-risers knotted in Dyneema are very light and resistant
offering all the functionalities expected on a tandem (split A
risers and trim tabs). Weight: 5.85 kg with sheathed lines, trimmed
risers and soft spreaders.
