Feel like you can do anything with the Peter Lynn Escape V9 II. Whether you want to go fast, boost big or practice every trick in the book, the V9 II will act like an extension of your body, completing your moves and adapting to your needs. The winning and distinctive features of the Escape have been kept: intuitive and direct handling, super responsive feeling and no compromise on power. With the improvements on the canopy the V9’s performance stands out big! The V9-II now comes with the new D3 fabric to increase durability.
Proven on world stages like the World Kiteboarding League and Red Bull King of the Air, the Escape is built to offer the explosive performance you’d expect from a freestyle kite. The V9 II is a boosting machine which enables anyone to progress through tricks and big air jumps. Built with accessibility in mind, from the first launch you will feel the performance potential of the Escape V9 II come alive!
All this power that the Escape generates is kept in shape by a short, pulley-less bridle that makes the V9 II highly responsive and very precise. Furthermore, a few improvements have been made to make the V9 II even more special. The Triflow panels on the leading edge add smoothness and stability to the leading edge. The trailing edge has been shortened so that the kite flies in the power-zone a bit more, so to generate even more power for big air jumps and for rotating tricks. The laser-cut canopy of the Escape V9 II has become super smooth, limiting all wrinkles from forming in the canopy and making kite more efficient, and the flight behaviour more stable, direct and responsive than before.
Throw the most radical moves, boost insane kiteloops or progress through tricks: the V9 II enables any rider to boost their confidence.
Peter Lynn Escape Characteristics:
Supreme handling and kite feedback:
The Peter Lynn Escape was built with the best handling and kite feedback in mind and the decades of kite development expertise at Peter Lynn delivered just that in this intermediate, 3 strut SLE kite. You will always know where you kite is within the wind window, giving you the opportunity to make progress and learn new skills faster and with full confidence. The Escape will give you the control and performance, whatever your level of riding!
Accessible power in a wide windrange:
The Peter Lynn Escape power range is smooth and forgiving, but it can be loaded up for a real boost in jumps and kiteloops. Kiteresponse is lively, control is unprecedented. Peter Lynn’s focus on supreme handling materialized in this kite, you will love its balance between performance and control in all discplines, from freeride to freestyle, wakestyle and waveriding. The handling capabilities of the Escape V9 II are available on a big windrange. The low end is good, the high-end control is excellent, this kite can be enjoyed in as many different wind conditions as is currently possible!
Small radius turning circle:
The Escape has a small radius turning circle. Newcomers to the sport benefit from this when needing to make adjustments while starting or riding. More experienced riders can use this feature to place the kite exactly at the best position for power in freestyle and wakestyle moves or to depower and take control riding waves. The experts will add to those capabilities the Escape’s character in kiteloops, where you can take control taking it easy throughout the loop or boosting it full force.
Controllable lift and boost:
Due to its supreme handling and kite feedback, the Peter Lynn Escape will be a great kite for new-to-the-sport kiters and less experienced riders. It would be a mistake to place it in that category though, as the performance of this kite is just too appealing to riders at all levels. The Escape offers big yet controlable lift, it will take you up high… and in control! The more experienced the rider, the bigger you can go: there is hardly anything stopping you with this kite. Boost throughout kiteloops can be controlled with amazing precision! Do you want to stay in control on your first kiteloops or would you rather be pulled in a horizontal line across the sky? The Escape delivers, you control it and feel the adrenaline.
Easy relaunch and full depower:
The 3 strut profile and shape of the kite, combined with the optimised bridle system give you the easiest relaunching kite on the market. Whether you restart a lot while building experience, need a fast restart to prevent the waves from eating your gear or need to restart fast in a crowded or rocky area, all levels of riding will appreciate the Escape’s easy relaunch. The full depower and Compass safety system make the kite as safe as you may expect from modern kite design.
Versatile kite setup possibilities:
All Peter Lynn Escape kites come with a wide array of set-up options. On the kite itself, the rearline bar pressure settings can be used to optimize the kite’s control and feedback to your preference. With the line length setting, windrange and performance can be set to your individual preference. The complete package offers the most versatile solution to perform to the rider’s preference, in the widest range of conditions.
Peter Lynn Escape Main Features:
Medium Aspect Ratio:
The Escape has an intermediate Aspect Ratio to offer the best of all worlds in a wide array of disciplines and rider levels. From steering to lift, to restart and powerrange, the aspect ratio is optimized for comfort and progression.
New designed profile:
The Escape has been developed from a ‘green field’ situation, as a completely new design. Incorporating the expertise of decades of kite development at Peter Lynn, this profile is tested, developed and proven sublime for its use. By shortening the trailing edge, the Escape now flies slightly more back in the window, which generates more power to use for pops, especially for unhooked jumps. By making the Escape V9 faster but still very stable, the low end has improved.
3 strut SLE design:
The big benefits of the 3-strut frame are the stiffness in the high end and gust, needed when you boost big in stronger winds. Plus, the typical Escape characteristics are only amplified. The 3-strut frame makes the kite lighter, improving wind range and steering behaviour.
Tear resistant canopy:
The Escape was built with the highest quality materials. Tejin Technoforce T9600 polyester is used for the canopy, combined with Dimension Polyant Dacron reinforcements and wingtips.
Direct connection struts:
The frame is very rigid due to the direct connection struts. For durability the struts are reinforced with seam protection to prevent tear.
Efficient and durable lightweight tips:
Dacron use has been optimized for the best match between weight and longevity. Due to ‘tailor made’ placement and panel shaping, the Dacron ensures a long lifetime. Tailoring the amount and placing of relatively heavy Dacron material to the size and target use of the kite ensures low overall weight of the kite, adding to responsiveness and overall control.
Single point inflation:
For fast inflation, the Peter Lynn has a proven single point inflation system. Just pump the kite through the center inflation point and it will be ready for use in no time. For durability and wear protection the tubing and valves are protected with a Neoprene cover.
Reinforced Leading edge:
The frame, struts and leading edge are built with the most durable Dacron. The Leading edge has been reinforced along the complete stitch seam and the leading edge has Peter Lynn EVA bumpers to protect it from damage whenever the kite crashes. Making it one of the toughest frames on the market.
Trailing edge reinforcements:
For optimised durability and low weight, the trailing edge has a double layer Technoforce construction with Bisonyl reinforcements for maximal durability.
Kook-proof line connections
To prevent wrong attachment of the front and rear lines to the kite.
Variable power setting
Backline connection points offer adjustments to change the bar pressure to personal preference.
Various Setup Possibilities:
The Escape has adjustment possibility on the Backline connection points to change the bar pressure to personal preference. This will adjust the overall depower, depower behaviour, overall power and bar pressure.
Moving the larkshead down toward to the trailing edge of the kite:
- Less direct depower, smoother power buildup when sheeting in or out
More depower
- Less bar pressure
- Mostly used by riders for wave surfing, freeriding, cruising
Moving the larkshead up toward the leading edge of the kite:
- More direct depower, faster power buildup when sheeting in or out
- More power
- More bar pressure
- Mostly used by riders for free- and wakestyle
