Detailed description
The Dyneema quick link reinvented
The IKS 1000 (Interlock System) is a Dyneema soft link designed by Niviuk to connect risers to lines. It replaces the traditional metal quick link with a net weight saving — without compromising safety margins.
Stronger than a 3 mm quick link
Advertised breaking strength: 1055 kg, compared to approximately 550 kg for a classic 3 mm quick link. Almost double the strength for a fraction of the weight: it's these kinds of details that allow modern light gliders to achieve featherlight weights without structural compromise.
Sold individually
This connector is sold per piece: count the number of connection points in your setup before ordering (generally, one per riser to be replaced).
- Material: Dyneema
- Use: Riser / line connection

Cyrille's advice: a poorly installed soft link is like a sloppy fisherman's knot — it holds until the day it doesn't. If you've never installed this type of connector, come to the workshop: we'll install it together, and you'll learn how to do it properly.
