Technical Features
Durable single-skin design
Built with our trusted TX-Light fabric, the kite is designed to withstand the rigors of snowkiting in rugged conditions. Weighing only 33g/m², it remains light enough for long treks yet durable enough to endure abrasion from snow, ice, and rocks. The DLX+ fabric on the leading edge adds extra protection where it’s needed most.
B-Safe system for self-landing
Safety in remote areas is crucial. The B-Safe system allows for smooth self-landing and quick release, making it perfect for solo adventurers who need reliable options for taking breaks or handling emergencies. The kite flags out immediately, making it easy to pack away when the wind drops, or conditions change rapidly.
Hybrid wingtip technology
Specially designed for the backcountry, the self-inflating wingtips feature mesh-protected openings to block snow and dirt. The enhanced aerodynamics ensure tighter, more controlled turns while maintaining constant pull, which is ideal for navigating steep terrain.
Performance Features
Efficient depower for your safety
In the unpredictable conditions of high altitudes, safety is paramount. The PEAK’s rapid depower capability lets you control speed and power instantly, providing you with the confidence to manage challenging weather or steep descents.
PEAK – Specialized for alpine explorations
Refine your kiting skills
The PEAK is an excellent tool for developing and refining your kiting skills. Its responsive handling, efficient depower, and superior stability make it ideal for practicing kite control. The lightweight, single-skin design allows for smooth and predictable performance, even in light winds, helping you build confidence as you progress.

The wind range chart is to be used as a point of reference. It is based on a rider who weighs around 75kg (165lbs.) Actual use will vary depending on your weight, skill level, board size/type (twintip or hydrofoil) and wind conditions on water or land. When choosing a kite size, always use common sense and repeatedly choose a smaller size if you are not sure, especially when using the kite on land.
Which technical changes have been made?
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 prevent 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 forces. 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-tuned 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 attachment points, which were recently introduced by the VMG³.

Which areas of use is the PEAK⁶ suitable for?
Touring
Thanks to the PEAK’s minimal pack size and ultra-lightweight design, multiple kites can be packed effortlessly. Its excellent light wind handling and resistance to back stalls make uphill rides a breeze. The PEAK’s reliable depower 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 superior handling make it the perfect companion for unforgettable adventures.
Teaching
The PEAK has become essential for kite schools, especially for light wind lessons. 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.
