Single Skin Foil Kite Concept:
The single skin concept has high lift profiles and a very efficient depower. Reducing its weight to a minimum brings advantages in stability, drift and light wind handling. Single skins allow the use of our B-Safe system and absorb hard impacts. The excellent longevity of these kites is not only due to the concept but by their material. High ageing and tear resistance, three ripstop threads and enormous rigidity at only 33g / m² make the TX-Light the perfect fabric. The leading edge consists of 44g / m² DLX + fabric which better protects against abrasion and sharp-edged objects. Every material optimizes a specific area of the kite. Every fabric is optimized for its use, from UV-resistant surfaces and air-impermeable coatings to absorbent properties to improve airflow when wet.
Hybrid Wing Technology:
The Hybrid Wingtip Technology consists of two self-inflating cells on each side of the kite. The openings are protected with mesh material to prevent the entry of snow or dirt. Both wingtips have our proven drainage system. The more efficient aerodynamics allow for tighter turning with constant pull, as well as increased backstall resistance. Through that, the wingtip is only flapping when you depower the kite. The bar feedback is considerably improved. The kite feels sporty and gives you a confidence-inspiring feeling
B-Safe System:
The B-Safe System is a (extra optional Y-) line configuration that slides along the B-level through eyelets. After activating the quick release, the bar moves 3 m up on the 5th line. The kite is reefed horizontally in the middle and reduces the wing span to a minimum. The kite comes down gently and flags out. After reactivating the quick release system, you can launch the kite through the power zone. The B-Safe System is ideal for self-landing or for taking breaks.
Usability:
Whether it’s on land or snow, with a kite landboard or a buggy, skis or snowboards, for freeride or teaching purposes, adults or children, beginners or advanced, for urban street kiting or as a traveling companion; the PEAK is your ultimate weapon for your daily session.

Once set up and it’s in the air it never goes wrong. Review by John Eaton
Yes you can use it for any terrain but it’ll excel on the slopes with the white stuff giving you the most possible safety.
Safety, Safety, Safety, all you need when you’re in amongst rocks, crevices and the lonesome pine.
Push the short bar out and you get that flagging effect, though not so much on the wingtips now due to the new ram air tip design.
The pressure is OFF! Potential Danger gone. It’s Perfect.
There’s more, its stability, it auto zeniths so it’ll sit there while you fiddle with that binding adjustment.
It doesn’t luff, fold or collapse, profile reinforcements maintain the leading edge shape.
The stability doesn’t compromise the manoeuvrability either, it’ll turn on a wingtip and keep you excited.
The single skin, ultra-light materials, lightweight control gear just make it really, really easy to work with and carry about.
The New Connect Bar definitely is a big improvement, it’s clean, slick, simple, safe, short and finished. (Hand Brake maybe?). Good job.
The safety line when activated just reefs in the wing and the kite floats to the ground depowered ready for relaunch.
With the single skin, powered crashes don’t have the kite bursting scenario you have with a closed celled kite! Bonus.
If you’re a first timer there’s plenty of bridling on this kite to spoil your day so best to familiarise yourself beforehand.
Once set up and it’s in the air it never goes wrong.
Don’t expect state of the art race speed or jaw dropping upwind ability but expect all you need for the terrain that its built for.
It’s just right and built for the job.
