DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Performance-Focused Versatility
The Core XR Pro 2025 blends power and control for your freeride and big air sessions. Its profile and moderate arc generate huge lift and explosive pop, making it ideal for riders who want to throw huge jumps while staying in complete control.
Lightweight and Fast
Thanks to its Aluula airframe and CoreTex 2.0 canopy, the kite is exceptionally light and stiff. You'll feel the reduced drag and its ability to maintain high flight speeds, which is key when you're pushing for maximum downwind performance or punching through lulls.
Responsiveness and Control
The 5-strut construction provides an immediate response to every bar input, with a stability that inspires confidence in gusts and mid-air. You'll enjoy precise steering, whether you're making quick course corrections or cranking tight, powerful turns.
Custom Tuning
The Core Intelligent Trim System offers three tuning options to adapt the kite to your style and the conditions. We recommend adjusting the settings based on whether you want to prioritize more depower, faster turning, or a wider wind range.
Easy Launch and Landing
The XR Pro launches quickly and smoothly, making solo setup a breeze. Its controlled power delivery also makes landings easy, a huge plus when you're linking jumps and transitions one after another.
All-Conditions Performance
The kite offers a huge wind range and predictable handling. Its stiffness and excellent drift keep it stable even when the wind gets gusty or patchy, giving you the confidence to ride in varied conditions.
