The PEAK6 is a lightweight, durable kite designed for serious adventurers tackling frozen lakes, mountain ranges, and high-altitude expeditions. Its compact size, robust materials, and dependable safety features make it ideal for remote, snow-covered landscapes. The kite offers responsive handling, smooth steering, efficient depower, and superior stability, ma- king it perfect for refining kite control. With improved reactivity and an exceptional power to de-power ratio, the PEAK6 is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, ensuring reliable performance in various wind conditions.
Key improvements in the PEAK6 include enhanced stability under low line tension, optimized steering while de-powered, and consistent pull during loops. The design now features a shorter bridle, a simplified mixer for easier handling, and a Performance Tuner for custom adjustments. The profiles have been fine-tuned, and the construction reinforced for greater durability.
TECHNICAL CHANGES
Short Bridle and Mixer to decrease drag and improve the B-Safe System
Weight savings are always a plus, but reducing line drag gives you more power and improved light wind capabilities. The shorter bridle lines pre- vent the B-Safe lines from tangling and aid in reactivating the kite after release or parking using the B-Safe system.
Performance Tuner
You can easily change the profile camber to increase or decrease bar for- ces. Use the standard setting for snowkiting, adjust toward the kite for foiling, and set it on the lowest option for teaching and increased bar forces.
Fine-tuned profiles
Usability, sublime handling, and trustworthy power deployment are key to trusting your kite in extreme alpine conditions. Especially in steep terrain, you need a reliable pull while ascending with a kite. Therefore, we fine-tu- ned every aspect to keep the power consistent.
Reinforced construction
Thanks to feedback from the PEAK fan base, we reinforced several details in the construction to extend the lifespan as long as possible. We focused on high-stress areas affected by flapping and integrated our new attach- ment points, which were recently introduced by the VMG3.
The PEAK6 excels in usability and safety, responding to steering commands faster to keep you in full control. Steering remains smooth and effortless even when de-powered, providing superior handling, especially in low wind conditions. The exceptional power-to de-power ratio continues to be a standout feature, delivering consistent and accessible power. B-Safe ensures safety by gathering the kite on a fifth line. The PEAK6 is a compact, ultra-light, highly specialized kite perfect for beginners to experts, and it offers excellent value for money!
Touring
Thanks to the PEAK6‘s minimal pack size and ultra-lightweight design, mul- tiple kites can be packed effortlessly. Its excellent light wind handling and resistance to back stalls make uphill rides a breeze. The PEAK6‘s reliable de- power and optional B-Safe system ensure you‘re prepared for emergencies, self-landing, or safe breaks. Whether heading uphill or gliding downhill, the PEAK6 retains its shape and delivers unmatched stability. Its agility and su- perior handling make it the perfect companion for unforgettable adventures.
Teaching
The PEAK has become essential for kite schools, especially for light wind les- sons. With the kite airborne, you can start teaching basic techniques in as little as 5 knots, allowing students to wear a harness from the very first minute. This approach significantly boosts lesson success rates. Introducing students to water sports has never been easier for instructors. Once the student gains control, the PEAK is also ideal for practicing water starts in shallow waters.
Foiling
For dedicated surf-foilers, we recommend the HYBRID. If you‘re looking to maximize light wind sessions with a large hydrofoil, the PEAK is the ideal choice. However, it‘s important to acknowledge that the PEAK‘s water relaunch capabilities are limited. We encourage open discussion on best practices for safe usage and optimizing performance in these conditions.

COMPARISON TO PEAK5
Snowkiting and teaching
The PEAK6 simply shines with user-friendliness, increased stability, and highly reliable power deployment. We have improved the B-Safe System and ensured the kite lasts as long as possible without sacrificing performance. PEAK users will feel at home from the first moment and love the great bar feel.
Foiling
Similar to its predecessor, the PEAK6 will be used by foilers. Even though the terrible (almost non-existent) water relaunch of single-skin foils is a significant downside, the new version performs better in direct comparison.
