The benchmark of cross-country wings (EN/LTF B)
Nova Mentor 4 – gets you further
The next milestone. The Nova Mentor 1, 2 and 3 was outstanding in its class. The Nova Mentor 4 is the continuation of our mission to make the best wing in its class. In comparison to its predecessor, its performance is better by half a glide point. The Nova Mentor 4 offers everything an ambitious cross-country pilot desires: impressive performance combined with a high degree of passive safety. Numerous competition title wins and records are proof of the success of the Nova Mentor design.
Optimised in every way. The Nova Mentor 4 was designed in co-operation with the cross-country pilots in the NOVA Pilots Team. The experience of cross-country hounds fed the development. Our designers and test pilots converted the input, and their own experience, into solutions. The results are improved roll dampening - particularly in accelerated flight - even more precise handling and a further improvement in the climb rate. The higher speed of the Nova Mentor 4 improves its efficiency against headwind.
Lighter and even more durable. The Nova Mentor 4 is a weight-optimised wing: everything that is not exposed to a high mechanical load has been manufactured using moderately light material (Dominico 20D), except the profile nose which is made from abrasion resistant cloth. The result is a wing that is significantly lighter, but at the same time more durable, than its predecessor. A side effect of the reduced canopy weight is higher passive safety - and it is suitable for hike & fly.
The Nova Mentor 4 is a paraglider with impressive performance which has - in the hands of an experienced pilot - a very manageable handling and extreme flight behaviour. Flying the Nova Mentor 4 does require a degree of skill. Although certified as EN B, the Nova Mentor 4 is not suitable for beginners and occasional pilots.

More technology, more know-how, more performance: The Nova Mentor 4 is the next milestone in the XC intermediate class. As well as revolutionary performance, the Nova Mentor 4 also offers refined handling in thermals, balanced roll damping and even better climb characteristics. And thanks to its compact sail, the wing has gained efficiency and is also faster.
