Meet the Core XRX, Core’s 2026 big air and performance freeride kite, engineered to deliver confidence, control and serious airtime in a wide range of conditions.
Whether you’re learning to ride upwind, working on your first big jumps or pushing your hangtime to the limit, the XRX is designed to grow with your riding. Its fast relaunch and stable flight make it approachable for progressing riders, while its powerful vertical lift and extended hangtime give experienced kiters everything they need to take their jumps higher.
The “X” stands for ten, marking the tenth generation of Core’s X-Series development. The result is a highly refined kite that combines stability, responsiveness and performance in one versatile package.
At the heart of the XRX is a five-strut Delta Bow design, providing exceptional stability when the wind gets stronger and more unpredictable. The kite remains composed through gusts while delivering smooth, progressive power and excellent upwind performance.
The moderate bar pressure provides direct and intuitive feedback, keeping you connected to the kite without feeling overly demanding.
Core’s ExoTex 3 leading edge material allows for a thinner, lighter and stronger leading edge, improving the kite’s responsiveness while increasing tear resistance.
The CoreTex 2 triple-ripstop canopy adds durability and stability, helping the XRX maintain its shape and performance session after session.
The upgraded HyperFlow inflation system features new clips that make inflation and setup quicker and easier, so you can spend less time on the beach and more time on the water.
