About this kite

The NXS is Core's newest concept: a deliberate bridge between the Nexus's versatility, the Section's drift and the XLite's lightness, tuned for riders who live at the intersections. Early positioning suggests a modern all-rounder with more glide and less weight than the class norm. New for 2026.
