The Vapor is Peter Lynn’s flagship high performance race kite. Nearly two years of development and testing have produced 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 ‘Excellence with no compromise’ shown by the design team and riders encompassing the ethos of the Peter Lynn Pro-Range of kites. A combination of the finest materials available matched with the application of cutting edge design, the most stringent quality control and production techniques place the Vapor at the top of race kite technology.
FLYING CHARACTERISTICS High flying Speed The light wind performance of the larger sizes is truly outstanding and the maneuverability of these bigger kites will be a welcome surprise. At the other end of the scale the smaller kites you will find are blisteringly fast but never too much for the experienced rider to handle. The Vapor will give you the ride of your life.
Fast and direct steering You will be amazed by the fast and direct handling of this race kite. When riding with a Vapor, you have the ability to place the kite exactly where you want it. This enables you to accelerate faster and make turns quicker with full confidence.
Good stability The Vapor is unrivalled in its balance between performance and stability.
Smooth but fast power build-up The power delivery of the Vapor is smooth and fast. You won’t need to throw your kite around the window to get it up to speed! Its progressive and direct power will have you up there in no time.
Wind range Vapors are quite powerful kites for their size, so you don’t always need the biggest kite to win. Besides this, the Vapor has quite a big wind range. You can work the kite up to speed very easily. You will notice there is a comfortable overlap of power between the sizes.
Low lift The Vapor has been designed with minimum lift characteristics.
