Description

Make no mistake about the Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II), this is a serious powerhouse designed for the discerning pilot wanting the challenge and performance of a competition kite while retaining many user friendly characteristics usually associated with the more docile kite.

 

The Peter Lynn Reactor II is a true all round high end performer, not only suitable for speed freaks and racers but just as happy to power you along big Safari's and expeditions or adrenaline charged recreational sessions at your local spot. The highest quality materials matched with state of the art production techniques and stringent quality control, places this kite in a league of its own!

 

Peter Lynn designer Michel Dekker has refined the original concept within the Reactor to produce a very capable performance kite well able to challenge its pilots and produce race winning results.

 

In early 2009, Peter Lynn team rider Arjen van der Tol while flying a 2.2m Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) safely equalled the world record of that moment of 117.8 km/h on the IvanPah Drylake in Nevada, USA during final testing. This kite is truly quick!

 

Excellent for buggying as well as speed sessions on a land board or on snow, yet its stable and predictable flying behavior make it accessible for a much wider group of flyers. As far as both look and feel of the Reactor are concerned, this kite seems to belong to the category of high performance kites.

 

Flying Characteristics:

 

Speed: The Reactor 2 (II) has an amazing flying speed, especially when comparing it to other kites with a similar aspect ratio. You can ride competitively with other buggy riders, the Reactor 2 (II) will not be the one stopping you from riding at high speeds.

Quick Steering Behavior: The Reactor responds direct/fast to you input. With very minor movement with your handles, the Reactor moves quick and easy. Great for fast gibes and quick kite loops.

Stability: The Reactor 2 (II) is not prone to luffing so it will not surprise you in a nasty way. Its upwind and downwind performance are amazing without giving you that feel that you are on the edge and may lose it any second. The Reactor 2 (II) is one of a few kites out there that combine performance and stability in an unbelievable way. With it's refined planform and profile combined low drag bridle ensuring stability even in the most challenging wind conditions.

Power Buildup: The way it builds its power is very comfortable. The Reactor 2 (II) needs speed to perform but still has got enough grunt to keep you moving when you hit soft sand. Once the kite is stopped above your head you will notice the low lift this kite produces.

 

Manoeuvrability: The Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) is a very agile kite. Thanks to the Variable Aspect Ratio (VAR), this means that the larger kites turn quickly for their size and the smaller sizes behave well in stronger conditions, keeping you in full control at all times.

Windrange: Due to a broad range of sizes and its large wind range per size you can easily ride in any wind speed with these six sizes. You will notice that there is a comfortable overlap of any Reactor with its next size in terms of wind range. The larger sized kites have a slightly higher aspect ratio than the smaller kites giving them a similar feel across the range.

 

Design Features:

 

High quality material and construction techniques:
The top and bottom skins are made from extremely durable and lightweight Mirai fabric, while the profiles and D-ribs are made from tear-resistant 70D fabric. The bridles and bridle loops are made from Dyneema line.

 

Fast - Easy - Setup:
The Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) flying line and new 4-line Peter Lynn handles (colour coded and foam padded to ensure a soft comfortable grip) are numbered at each end with the corresponding number on the correct pigtail on the kite. This means you'll never connect the wrong flying line to the wrong part of the kite or handle, making it easy to set up your new Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) and getting out and riding straight away!

 

Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) Wrist Leash Safety System:
New easy to recognize left and right kite killers ensures a trouble-free flying expereince knowing you always have the handles in the correct hand and if you get into difficulty releasing the handles means the Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) will float gently to the ground, waiting until you’re ready to go again!

 

Material & Graphics:

Constructed using water repellent Mirai fabric, for the top and bottom skins means you can fly knowing the Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) is protected against the elements (including UV) prolonging its life. Graphics on the top and bottom skins means it looks excellent too!

 

Dyneema Flying Lines & Bridle:

New Peter Lynn colour coded Dyneema flying lines are reinforced with stitched sleeving. All coloured bridles lines are stitched to reduce drag, which ensures your kite always maintains its shape and also prevents tangles when flying.

 

Reinforcements:

Reinforced leading and trailing edges, along with the use of heavy duty material on the ribs, makes sure the Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) is strong and robust enough to withstand hard ground impacts! Double sewn bottom skin and back-tacked bridle tabs ensure extra durability and strength, making certain the kite is reinforced where it's needed.

 

Profile & Aspect Ratio:

The D-ribbed centre section of the Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) increases the smooth, clean shape of the canopy to optimise speed and eliminate distorting without the use of extra bridles. Each size of the Reactor 2 (II) has been specifically designed to keep the same flying feeling and characteristics throughout the entire range.

 

Velcro Loops & Dirt / Sand Outlets:

The Reactor's Velcro loops makes sure you can easily pack away your kite without the chance of bridles getting tangled. The Velcro outlets at either end of the kite also ensure you can remove any sand or dirt from inside the kite with ease.

 

All this makes the Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) the ultimate all-round high speed performance kite. Each size comes in striking colour combinations with graphics on the top and bottom skin.

 

Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) for recreational use: The Peter Lynn Reactor 2 (II) is great for skidding and jumping and is a great way to getting used to flying 4-line kites. When steering the Peter Lynn Reactor in medium winds, you will start to feel the pull of the kite. Don't run forward when the kite starts pulling, just lean back and slide on your feet.

Great power with lift! Ben Knowles

I love my Peter Lynn Reactor! It is so good for getting upwind in your buggy and getting air on my landboard. Good power to speed characteristics means I am getting nearly two kites in one!
