About this kite

The XR Pro is Core's flagship built with the best materials the brand can source: a super-stiff lightweight frame that converts every edge into vertical metres. Boost and hangtime sit at the physical limit of the XR concept, with the composure to ride out kiteloops far overhead. Built for the WOO leaderboard, priced accordingly.
