And where IS these 10 percent?

Peak5 has 33 g/m2 cloth, HysperV2 has 36 or was it 38?

But Regis has a special built veision for his 63 kg only, in 27 g/m2.

Actually 27 to 33 is just over 22 %, so it makes perfect sense.

And if if there are less bridles on the Hysper, a standard cloth might be a tad lighter, or close to the same weight.

I dont have a favor of either, just curios...

No Peter, maybe I was not clear ; this 8m is the standard version that was on stock in Sky Country when I purchased it; so standard cloth (36 gr I believe) ;

My special request for 27gr is for the 14m only, that should arrive next month, I hope.

I think that below reason could explain main of the weight saving vs Peak:
- thinner bridles (seems very thin indeed)
- less "transverse or diagonal or rib " cloth (the white parts on the peak4, I do not know how to call them)
- less briddle attachment in both directions each

Could you tell how much in percents special 27gr version is more expansive than usual material? Could you explain (or make photo) what kind of end are on connection with bar lines? Small rings or knots? It is compatible with any usual bar? No requirement on Y high or low bar? Strange that in brand website no any description available about kite, nor bar. It is just clear that there are 27 cells vs Peaks 29 cells.
By the way Gin Marabou will release soon v2 of this kite, could be lot of imrpovements and probably less weight too. Plus release of Born Kites Hydrostar soon too.

Price increase is 15% for the 27gr and 10% for the 32 gr according to the agent; this is indeed what I paid to the agent "Eric" for the 14m 27gr and also + 10% for the 12m double skin Spirit V2 in 32gr that I bought this summer (I am not in direct contact with Sky Country);

Pigtails are knots ending for the 4 lines ; I find the pigtail a bit small , so depending on your ligne ending, you may need to make a bigger 8 knot IMO. Easy.
I use a normal bar, low Y; they can sells one carbon bar , I have seen this on the website, not expansive as well.

Delivery time is quite long if the kite is not in stock, around 2 month overall including the long shipment from Ukraine. Hence why a bought this hysper2 8m in stock.

True, I've had several different brand kites made in lighter material, and it is between 10 and 15 % more only.
But more fragile of course.

I foiled yesterday with the Hysper2 4 meter in 11 to 16 knot winds with the w799 wing (and 23m lines) and it was so good, I could go dead downwind looping (or not) and it was so easy and fun (I am 85 kg). I could also go toe-side and upwind fine, I dropped the kite in the water twice (while attempting tricks) and relaunched ok... there is good overlap with the 6m in the low end. To get foiling, I needed to loop start.

Seems that it is more powefull than Peak 4m (having in mind used wing and your weight)? Does the turning and control feels very direct, without delay feeling, very alive?

Don't know about the difference to the Peak4 4m but I have one. I will try to compare both at the same time to see the difference

I found that there is no delay in the control...
ouahou; 11 knots with the 4m and 85 kg, while my ride with the 8m, same lines , was in 15-20 knots with 62 kg ! seems to annonce a very interesting wind range ...
