Description

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.

Supreme Handling and 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 V7 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.

Features

Technology

Tri-Flow:

If you look closely at the canopy on the leading edge, you will see multiple triangular shaped panels. These are called TriFlow and create a smooth and clean transition between the panels.

By using this technology, the canopy segments attached to the Leading edge are now able to curve both vertically and horizontally, limiting all creases from happening on the canopy closer to the leading edge.

TriFlow creates an extremely smooth surface and clean airflow over the canopy, resulting in more stability and a better overall performance of the kite. TriFlow makes the Escape even more stable so that you can focus on jumping and boosting and riding to the max.

Laser Tech:

Because the canopy is being cut using computer controlled lasers, the profile of the Escape V9 has become super smooth, limiting all wrinkles from forming in the canopy.

This makes the kite more efficient and improves the Escape's flight characteristics. The V9’s flight behaviour has also become more stable, direct and responsive than before.

The V9’s flight characteristics have become more efficient. Also thanks to the tighter trailing edge the kite has become more stable, direct and responsive, especially in gusty and strong wind conditions. The Escape V9 maintains its shape which significantly improves its boosting and big air capabilities.

3-Strut Design:

The ninth generation Escape remains distinctive because of its 3-strut design.

By leaving the kite's large middle section free from struts, the Escape is provided with even more grunt and boost that gives you all the power you need to throw even the most radical moves.

Open C-Shape:

The open C-kite shape is great to help you generate all the speed you need to jump high, change direction quickly and do tricks in the air.

The kite’s wide middle section and deep profile increase the float, keeping you up there during your big air tricks and megaloops, and still provides solid upwind to keep the rider in the competition box or close to the beer cooler.

Short Pulley-Less Bridle:

The open C-kite shape is great to help you generate all the speed you need to jump high, change direction quickly and do tricks in the air.

Adjustable Pigtail Position:

Most PLKB kites come with adjustable back line settings to adjust the bar feel of the kite. Moving the bridle attachment point back towards the trailing edge will make the steering pressure lighter but will require more movement of the bar.

Changing the settings is super easy, just detach the back bridle line and reattach it to your preferred setting to have more or less bar pressure and steering movement. This is a personal decision based on your riding style and experience.

Fits All Valve:

PLKB kites are equipped with a ‘fit-all-valve’ for easy inflation. The bayonet fitting fits all pumps and the large valve opening makes inflation a breeze.

You won’t have to spend hours and hours looking for a pump with the right connection, and will be out on the water in no time.

Double Stitched Leading Edge:

Multiple reinforcements improve durability. The leading edge and struts are built with the most durable Dacron. The entire span of the leading edge has been reinforced along the seam with double stitches to protect it from getting damaged when crashing or getting a pounding by waves, making it hands down one of the toughest kites on the market.

All the bridle attachment points are reinforced with Dacron patches that are stitched on the inside of the leading edge so, even if all the power is channelled through one bridle point, the kite will not get damaged.
