Description:
The XR8 is CORE's big air kite, with a stiff five-strut frame in a Delta Bow shape. It's built for bigger jumps and longer hangtime, with loads of comfort and control along the way.
Stiffer ExoTex 2 let CORE slim down the leading edge and struts, so it's quicker, more responsive and easier to control than the XR7. Loops are more efficient too, with an earlier, smoother catch. Not sure on size? Chat to us and we'll sort you out.
