Core XR X Kite

The Legend. Tuned for Tomorrow.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

FREERIDE | BIG AIR

 

The Big Air Benchmark is Back

Comfortable cruising, explosive boosts, endless hang time and controlled landings – developed for riders of all levels who rely on the unrivaled performance and quality of this Freeride and Big Air icon to get the absolute maximum out of every session.

For the first time, the XR X features ExoTex® 3 high‑performance Dacron. Thanks to a newly developed weave structure, it is even stiffer and more tear‑resistant – without adding weight compared to conventional Dacron. The result: perfectly balanced control, performance and durability.

In its tenth generation, the XR X brings everything that has defined its predecessors: the raw power and direct feedback of a proven 5‑strut frame, the ultra‑crisp and precise handling of the exclusive CoreTex® 2 Triple Ripstop Canopy, accessible Big Air and hang time performance, and outstanding robustness and longevity.

XR X. BUILT ON LEGACY. TUNED FOR TOMORROW.

For the first time, the XR X features ExoTex 3 high-performance Dacron. Its newly developed weave structure delivers greater stiffness and tear resistance at the same weight as conventional Dacron. Control, performance, and durability in perfect balance.

The tenth generation brings everything that made its predecessors legendary: the raw power and direct feedback of a 5-strut frame, the ultra-crisp handling of the exclusinve CoreTex 2 canopy, and the accessible Big Air performance combined with maximum robustness and longevity.

• NEW AIRFRAME GENERATION FOR MORE POWER, PRECISION, AND CONTORL
• REDEFINED SECOND LIFT
• INCREASED JUMP PERFORMANCE AND HANGTIME
• EVEN MORE PRECISION IN LOOPS AND RELIABLE CATCH
• 200 G LIGHTER THAN XR8 (ON AVERAGE0
• ACCESSIBLE BIG AIR PERFORMANCE FOR ALL LEVELS

EXOTEX 3 LEADING EDGE

LESS STRETCH. MAXIMUM DURABILITY.

As the first model in the range, the XR X features CORE-exclusive ExoTex 3, developed over 3 years. Its new fabric structure significantly improves the torsional characteristics of the airframe, resulting in noticeably enhanced steering precision and more direct control input response.

Enjoy more power and flight stability thanks to 12% less stretch, and maximum durability with 20% increased tear resistance.

MAXIMUM BOOST & HANG TIME

EXPLOSIVE LIFT. CONTROLLED FLIGHT.

The overall tuning of the XR X enables easy sheet-and-go take-offs. The XR X delivers noticeably more hangtime while maintaining full control.

Optimized second-life characteristics generate additional life after take-off-- for more height and hangtime in big-air jumps and noticeably greater control during heli-loops on landing.

CORETEX 2 - TRIPLE RIPSTOP CANOPY

MAXIMUM STABILITY. FULL CONTROL

Extremely low stretch and highly durable, the exclusive CORE canopy material perfectly supports the XR X's targeted characteristics: linear power delivery, high flight stability and outstanding control. A special coating adds excellent tear resistance and very high UV protection.

SMOOTH TOUCHDOWNS - WITHOUT THE HELI LOOP

Thanks to the stiff 5-strut frame in a Delta-Bow shape and precise depower performance, a simple back-and-force steering motion is all it takes to set you down smoothly and with total control. Full confidence for your next takeoff.

DYNAMIC TURNING BEHAVIOR

LOOPS BETTER. CATCHES EARLIER.

The new ExoTex 3 airframe structure improves torsional flex, making the XR X more agile and reactive. Perfect for precise kite loops, reliable catching and increased control in strong winds.

5-STRUT-FRAME MEETS EXOTEX LIGHT

The XR X relies on an ultra-stable 5-strut frame, delivering strong low-end power and increased stability in the high-end-- giving you more performance on demand.

All five struts are made from ExoTex Light-- a particularly lightweight yet even more durable version of our airframe material. This makes the XR X feel even more responsive and lively in the air.

THE XR PARADOXON

FAST PROGRESSION AT EVERY LEVEL

Early success in kiteboarding and Big Air records on the same kite? With the XE, that's not a contradiction - it's the concept.

Thanks to its extremely intuitive handling, steep learning curve and outstanding riding comfort, the XR X is one of the most popular kites among beginners and intermediates alike -- and continues to scale all the way up to the highest performance level.

INTELLIGENT ARC

AN AGILE PRECISION INSTRUMENT

Canopy profile and bridle design for a unique system on the XR. Pulling the bar spreads the tips like wings. Pushing it away pulls them back in - changing the projected area by more than ten percent. Depending on bar position, the XR X becomes either a Big Air machine or an upwind weapon.

CORE INTELLIGENT TRIM SYSTEM

YOUR XR X- YOUR PREFERENCES

The CIT offers three adjustment options to fine-tune your XR X perfectly to your personal preferences and riding conditions. Experiment with it - it's worth it.

1. Flight characteristics at the Leading Edge: Choose Tight Loop for tighter turning radius and more depower, or Wide Loop for more constant pull and larger loops.
2. Turning speed and bar pressure at the tips: Three attachment loops at the tips allow you to adjust both bar pressure and turning speed.
3. Steering line tension and kite feedback: Three optional knots at the attachment points let you fine-tune bar pressure and steering input directness.

HYPERFLOW SYSTEM

EFFICIENT AIR MANAGEMENT

Inflated through a single valve integrated into the Leading Edge. 33% larger hoses and valves double the airflow for extremely fast inflation and deflation. New elastic fixations make the XR X even more service-friendly.

SENSOR 4S OPTIMIZED

PERFECTLY TUNED. PERFECTLY CONNECTED.

The XR X is optimized for the Sensor 4S Bar and its v-split. The result: increased angle of attack towards the tips and a softer bar feel. Together, the XR X and the Sensor 4S unlock their full potential: ultra-precise bar feedback, maximum steering directness, and extensive adjustment options for ultimate control, performance safety, with unrivaled comfort and effortless handling. 

Delivery:

The XR X comes with a comfortable backpack, manual and a repair kit.
