CORE XR8 LW

Ultimate light wind performance meets unparalleled riding comfort.

HIGH PERFORMANCE FREERIDE+ | FREESTYLE

WHO NEEDS FOILING WHEN YOU CAN SHRED?

The XR8 LW unlocks great performance in light winds and impresses with a high level of riding comfort. 

With its ultra stiff 5-strut-frame in Deltabow shape, you will glide early and achieve rich jumps with decent hang time even in the lower wind range. Its lightweight construction helps you go upwind easily, and its unparalleled flight stability, power, and control let you enjoy every session.

Thanks to the significantly stiffer ExoTex 2 material the kite's entire airframe has been fine-tuned and enables smaller leading edge and strut diameters which increase its upwind abilities. The CoreTex 2 canopy is both highly durable and has an extremely low-stretch. These two features work together to give the canopy unparalleled flight stability, power, and control.
