The Peter Lynn Vapor - Designed to win.
The Vapor is Peter Lynn's flagship high performance race kite and the latest addition to the Pro Range.
The Vapor has already
proved itself to be a world class winning kite when Peter Lynn team rider John Jansen used his with devastating effect, taking the all new Vapor
to victory a the recent European Championships in St. Peter Ording (Germany). This alone spoke just how awesome the new Vapor is and is
surely something to shout about, but in fact the Vapor also helped FIVE other pilots attain top positions on in the top ten places, cementing the
Vapor as a true full-breed performer.
Nearly two years of development and testing have been poured into producing a kite which is not only one
of the fastest kites on the planet but amazingly stable too. This balance is testament to the vision and dedication to Peter Lynn's "Excellence
with no compromise" philosophy shown by the design team and riders.
A combination of the finest and slickest materials available matched with the
application of cutting-edge design, the most stringent quality control and production techniques place the all new Peter Lynn Vapor at the top of race kite
technology.
Unlike many other race kites, the Vapor's handling characteristics mean that it is not restricted to just the most expert of pilots.
In fact, most intermediate pilots would be surprised just how well behaved the Peter Lynn Vapor is and would benefit greatly from its awesome performance.
Make no mistake though, the Vapor is a fast and very powerful kite chosen by some of the top competition pilots in the world and thus deserves some healthy respect!
Be it in a full blown race buggy or on ski's or a landboard, you can be sure that the Vapor has the speed and power to put you in front!
Performance and innovation - What the Vapor was designed for!
This baby is FAST!!! The Vapor is one of the fastest kites on planet Earth! This is not just an empty boast but proven on the
dry lake beds of Nevada as well as helping John Jansen to live his dream in winning the European Kite Buggy Championships in Germany earlier this year. The light wind
performance of the larger sizes is truly outstanding and the maneuverability of these bigger kites will be a welcome surprise. During final testing, Peter Lynn pilots were
able to achieve speeds up to 30mph in practically zero wind! At the other end of teh scale, the smaller kites are blisteringly fast and capable of outrunning just about
anything else in the wind! The Vapor will give you the ride of your life.
Variable Aspect Ratio:
What is this? The Vapor benefits from an all newly designed variable
aspect ratio thoughtout the entire Vapor range. Basically, the smaller sized Vapor's use a slightly lower aspect ratio and a higher aspect ratio is used on the larger sizes.
The effect of this means a better handling and more stable kite in the smaller sizes when the wind conditions are stronger and less predictable. Having a higher aspect ratio on
the larger size kites means more performance and better handling in lighter wind conditions. Peter Lynn has used four independant aspect ratio's from 5.0 to 5.85 across
the 12 kites included in the Peter Lynn Vapor range. This ensures the best performance for each kite in the range while still remaining similar in the way they fly.
