The Peak 4 is a pure breed XC wing, ready to bridge the pleasure of flying one step closer to reality by bringing inspired confidence with your emotional response in every flight.

As an authentic XC, the glider was designed to challenge and bring out the adventurer in you. Enjoy maximum performance in each flight. Be in charge by fully and precisely controlling a superb wing able to carry you to the four corners of the world.

Fly hundreds of kilometers under a fast two liner, stable at any speed, and designed for long routes. Easy to manage and understand, with an excellent sink rate or climb in thermals. Maximum performance for experienced pilots, but with an accessibility level never seen in its category.

Through its veins runs the DNA of a world champion, the Icepeak 6, and equipped with the best features and latest technological innovations found with today's gliders. Nitinol, to name one, is part of its internal structure, giving a uniform profile design to the wing while keeping the initial performance level intact but reducing the overall weight.

From the glider turning dreams to reality, the PEAK 4 was then born. Intense, exciting, built for adventure, and with an insatiable appetite for kilometers, it has an enormous potential for endless exploration anywhere on the planet. Peak 4, the Cross Country spirited wing.

TECHNOLOGY

SLE (STRUCTURED LEADING EDGE)

The SLE provides more rigidity and stability along the span of leading edge but also allows full flexibility along the both the vertical and horizontal axis of each open cell. The SLE ensures ease of movement on the ground and high security in the air during turbulence and whilst flying at speed.

With the SLE system there is no longer a need to use large amounts of mylar material to achieve leading edge reinforcement. This reduction in material has reduced the weight of the leading edge and the result is precise handling on the ground and easier launches.

The SLE also helps to prevent deformation of the leading edge and therefore with correct care will extend the life and efficiency of your glider.

TNT (TITANIUM TECHNOLOGY)

Constantly innovating, we always are on the hunt, looking for the latest and best materials to helps us design optimal products. For this reason, and after an extensive evaluation of its benefits and qualities, we decided to be the first manufacturer to use Nitinol in our glider line.

BENEFITS

Nitinol is an alloy of 50% nickel and 50% titanium. This technology in our rods offers three major advantages of optimizing the performance of a paraglider, compared to those made out of Nylon:

• The addition of Nitinol rods in the profile has the immediate result of substantially reducing the overall weight of the wing by about 13%. 
• Nitinol has two very specific properties: shape memory and super elasticity. The flexible rods always regain their functional optimal shape, even after tight bending, no wrinkles or residual mechanical alterations affect their integrity.
• As a result, the wing's leading edge is then preformed on the ground and allows a uniform progressive inflation phase to take place, which considerably facilitates the take-off. The wing surface is perfectly taut, wrinkle free and without parasitic cloth movements, the glide is thus optimized in all flight phases.

In addition, the rods are outfitted with plastic protectors at their ends to prevent fabric damage.

STE (STRUCTURED TRAILING EDGE)

STE is based on the curtting edge technology we use for our competition wings. It optimises the profile without deforming it. We can thus obtain less resistance and better performance. With the STE, the circulation of the air is more fluid, maintaining a consistent airflow at the trailing edge, and obtaining a cleaner airflow at high speeds. When we reduce the speed of the wing, it is its entire surface which slowly starts to bend, not only its trailing edge, as happens with the wings that do not have STE. The pitch control is notably improved as well. When in flight we accelerate the wing, its profile keeps more balanced, giving to the wing more stability, especially in the trailing edge. STE works on more surface of the wing without distorting the profile. STE: state of the art technology applied to Niviuk serial wings.

DRS (DRAG REDUCTION STRUCTURE)

The trailing edge has been reinforced with small ribs that make this part flatter in order to spread the pressure out evenly. It means better air-flow and less drag on this important part of the glider. The addition of these ribs gives the glider exceptional handling (better and more efficient when turning) and more control and precision.

3DL (3D LEADING EDGE)

Adding an extra seam to the leading edge on the span axis of the glider helps to shape a compact 3D profile and have better connections to the new 3DP front panel’s layout.

When sewn together, the fabric pattern orientation and panel positioning are taken into account to avoid creases and ultimately obtain a perfect load distribution. As a result the glider profile is cleaner, to the benefit of performance and durability.

The application of this innovation to the profile is key to reaching the perfect shape from 2D to 3D.
