Test-Kite: The kite is used and in good condition.
HIGH PERFORMANCE FREERIDE | FREESTYLE | WAVE
CORE releases its latest high-performance freerider that is destined to break personal and world records.
As
a member of the Universal+ Series of kites, the XR6 is engineered to
perform in all conditions and disciplines. It inherits the power and
incredible wind range of the legendary XR5 while receiving measurable
handling upgrades.
Bestseller. Test winner. World record holder.
CORE's
signature five strut Delta Bow kite isn't just a fan favorite and test
winner; it also breaks records. Earlier this year, both Maarten Haeger
und Ross-Dillon Player busted through the 30m barrier on their XR's. A
feat that was considered impossible was, in fact, possible. We
congratulate both for their amazing achievements.
Calling all astronauts, the XR6 seeks test pilots.
Fourteen
years of development, hundreds of prototypes, and many inhospitable
test sessions have gone into the XR6's signature ride. Frank Ilfrich,
CORE's head designer, knows how important it is not to lose the DNA that
makes the XR what it is today and his team has succeeded again. The
XR's linear responsiveness continues to deliver effortless cruising,
record-breaking hangtime, and super smooth landings. After six
generations, they've dialed in the characteristics regular kiters and
astronauts-in-training seek. Like prodigious power. Unbelievable
depower. And precise control on the water and in the air. Grab your test
pilot gear and allow CORE's perennial bestseller to blast you to the
moon metaphorically.
Rocketship scientist stuff inside.
The
XR6 continues with its highly successful 5-strut, Delta Bow shape.
CORE's proven fabrics – CoreTex and ExoTex – are exclusively used on the
canopy and leading edge. Our rocketship scientist, Frank Ilfrich, went
over every small detail and found weight savings in the leading edge,
extra speed in the canopy, and efficiency improvements to our Speed Pump
System. Frank and his team modified the strut curves to extract more
stability especially when powered. The additional strut rigidity (and
lowend grunt) required a small adjustment to the CIT bridle points to
add a little more power steering.
XR6 LW. It's windy enough.
We've
all experienced those days when the wind teases us. You wonder, is it
enough to go out? We take the guesswork out with the XR6 LW, a lightwind
rocket. It inherits all the power and range of the legendary XR6 while
receiving measurable weight saving upgrades like CoreTex Light. We could
go on, but we prefer that you find out for yourself how stellar the new
XR6 LW performs.
Records are meant to be broken.
What
started as a family vacation for 18-year-old CORE team rider Maarten
Haeger, turned into a surreal dream when he pumped up his XR5 and
smashed through the 30m barrier with an amazing 32m jump on January 2nd,
2019. Then, Ross-Dillon Player followed up Maarten's performance with
an amazing 30.3m jump a few weeks
later in Cape Town on his XR. It
looks like Cape Town delivered the goods in January. We wish we could’ve
joined you - congrats to both of you. Now, it's your turn to break some
personal bests with the new XR6.
