The Reactor II is the latest addition to the all new 'Peter Lynn Pro - Range' of kites, where excellence comes as standard and no compromise is accepted.
Make no mistake about the Reactor 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 a more docile kite. The 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 on some crusing sessions at your local spot.
The Reactor II shares all the benefits and attention to detail like all other products within the Peter Lynn ‘Pro-Range’. The highest quality materials matched with state of the art production techniques and stringent quality control, place this kite in a league of its own!
Characteristics:
Fast Flying Speed - The refined profile and deck shape of the Reactor II have created this kite to fly very fast but remain stable across the whole wind window. The Reactor II is a perfect kite for riders wanting to push their limits, without having a kite which is difficult to fly. Also in inland conditions the Reactor II can be preferred over a full race kite as it goes extremely fast but in gusty winds riders remain in control.
Stable- The Reactor II’s refined plan form and profile combined with the low drag bridle ensure stable flying characteristics even in the most challenging wind conditions or flying inland.
Power- There is plenty of power on tap with the Reactor II. This power is delivered in a positive and controlled manner throughout the wind window.
Maneuverable- The Reactor II is a very agile kite. And thanks to the Variable aspect Ratio, this means that the larger kites turn quickly for their size and the smaller kites behave well in stronger conditions, keeping you in full control at all times. This also ensures that the kites all have the ‘Same Feel’ throughout the size ranges.
Forgiving - Whilst having plenty of performance on tap, the Reactor II remains a very manageable kite even when the conditions get challenging or when mistakes are made. This will allow you to explore your own potential with confidence.
Low lift- Using the latest design profiles and years of experience in performance kite design has made it possible to produce a kite with relatively low lift while maintaining speed and power. In simple terms this means you are less likely to get ejected from your buggy when tacking at high speed or performing some of the more modern maneuvers while racing.
Features:
Medium to high Variable Aspect Ratio (AR) Semi-stabilizing profile combining high performance with extreme user friendliness
Precision designed and Laser cut panels
All panels of the Reactor II are cut with a laser-cutting machine. This method of cutting ensures the panels are cut extremely accurately, to make sure each kite has the perfected skin shape the designers have given it. After this the edges of the fabric are directly sealed preventing the material from fraying.
Double cross-vented profiles.
Cross-vents allow the air inside the kite to move from one cell to the other. This ensures a quick recovery after a crash or even, in a rare occasion, after the kite collapses. The cross-vents inside the Reactor II have been carefully placed, to ensure the right amount of air flow running from cell to cell while keeping the profile and cell shape as rigid as possible. Moreover the cross-vents have been positioned where there is minimal stress on the profile section to ensure maximum durability of the kite.
Diagonal ribs
The amount of bridle needed is drastically reduced by the use of diagonal ribs (D-ribs). To get the best Aerodynamic shape, the whole wing needs to be in a smooth arch shape. The bridles support the wing, but bridles increase drag. By using D-ribs, the amount of bridle is drastically reduced without making any sacrifices to the support of the wing. This reduced drag increases the flying speed and greatly improves the upwind performance.
Porcher Reinforcements inside the kite
Reinforcements ensure maximum durability of your kite, as reinforcements distribute the load through larger sections of the kite. The extra reinforcements in certain areas increase strength exactly where needed; the reinforcements are made from high quality Porcher Marine fabric. By placing these reinforcements inside the kite, the skin shape is as smooth as possible. An example is the leading edge, which is reinforced with a narrow webbing piece hidden in the leading edge seam. Each bridle point is reinforced with Porcher adhesive spinnaker to ensure a smooth distribution of the load from the bridles to the rest of the kite.
Double needle stitched seams
All seams on the Reactor II are stitched using a double needle machine, making the construction of the complete kite as strong as possible. Every part of the seam that may endure more load is back-tacked to prevent the stitching from breaking during use.
Mirai fabric for top and bottom skin
Materials are the main determinant for why a kite flies good or bad. Peter Lynn has spent more than 15 years researching and developing kite materials, the material used for our kites is among the best out there. The top and bottom skin make up about 70% of the fabric used for a total kite. For the top and bottom skins it is important to find the right compromise between durability, rigidity and weight. Mirai Ripstop Nylon fabric has the right rigidity, so the wing stays in the right shape when placed under load, but still remains easy to form into various curved shapes without performance-reducing creasing. Mirai is lightweight and therefore makes your kite fly faster, especially in lighter winds. Mirai has a water repellent coating to prevent the kite from getting too heavy and un-manoeuvrable due to absorbing water. In addition Mirai is very durable; Rip stop threads reinforce it so it is resistant to tearing or other forms of damage, ensuring a product that will last for many years.
Profiles made from 70D fabric
The profiles and diagonal ribs require a fabric that is very durable and solid, as when a kite crashes these are the sections that get the most beating. The profiles and D-ribs on the Reactor II are made from a 70D material with a hard coating. This specially manufactured fabric prevents the profile from distorting under load and ensures optimal aerodynamics of the kite at all times. Above this the fabric is extremely tough and tear-resistant.
Carefully designed bridle pattern
Bridles support the wing, but also create drag. Finding the right balance between support and the amount of bridle used is one of the most important factors in kite design. By choosing the right amount of bridle attachments to the kite, the right lengths and the right patterns, bridle drag is kept to a minimal, increasing flight speed and upwind performance. This ensures you have a fast flying kite, with the largest wind window to fly your kite in.
Dyneema bridles
For the bridle lines we use the finest bridle lines available, made from pre-stretched SK75 Dyneema. The large amount of braids per centimeter gives our Dyneema a strong, smooth and closed feel. The incredible strength for its small diameter reduces drag resulting in increased performance. After pre-stretching the Dyneema line, it has virtually no stretch left so the optimal trim by the bridle design will be maintained even after loading the kite. Above this the extremely low stretch of the bridle lines as well as the Dyneema bridle loops give the kite a more solid feel when flying. All of these make Dyneema the perfect material for bridles on a high performance kite.
Spliced then stitched bridles
Our Dyneema bridle is spliced then stitched; this is the smoothest finish available today. All connections between the bridle lines or between the bridle and the bridle loops are extremely smooth. As well as an aerodynamic advantage, it also prevents the bridle lines or flying lines from getting hooked behind each other. This will make every launch or recovery successful and easy.
Dual Velcro bridle loops
Each side of the Reactor II features a Velcro bridle loop, to secure the bridles when the kite is not in use. This prevents tangles when setting up or packing away the kite. If one Velcro loop were used in the centre of the kite, then the short bridles of the Reactor II would not reach the loop.. Placing two bridle loops on each side of the kite easily solves this problem. The Velcro bridle loops are placed on profiles just below the leading edge reinforcement; this prevents the Velcro bridle loops from causing any aerodynamic disadvantage.
Velcro outlets
The Reactor II features a Velcro outlet in each wing tip. This makes it extremely easy to remove any sand, water or other dirt out of your kite. Any dirt inside a kite dramatically compromises the performance and can even cause damage to the fabric over the long term.
