Buy a used Core XR Pro 2 \u00b7 Tested kite with an 18-month warranty. The Core XR Pro 2 (2025 model) is the most consistent interpretation of the big-air concept Core has ever built. As tested kite material, you can get it here with up to a 35% price advantage compared to new. The ALUULA composite in the airframe and the 5-strut construction make the XR Pro 2 fly noticeably differently than the standard XR with classic Dacron: stiffer, lighter, and more direct in every input. Every kite comes with an 18-month dealer warranty from our shop. You can select the size and condition (A, B, or C) on the right in the variation selection. Condition A, B, or C \u2013 what does that mean? Our test kites are available in three clearly defined conditions. Here's what A, B, or C means exactly: Condition A \u00b7 Lightly used, approx. 1 to 10 sessions. Fabric and prints: Coating without significant wear or damage. Pigtails: Plenty of color, little abrasion. Leading edge: No visible marks (no white breakage). Bridles: Minimal wear. Patches: Not clean, possibly a few small stains, free from excessive salt and sand. Condition B \u00b7 Moderately used, approx. 11 to 20 sessions. Fabric: Visible signs of use, coating no longer completely "hard". Pigtails: May be more faded and slightly frayed. Leading edge: No visible defects. Bridles: Minor signs of use, technically sound. Patches: Not clean, light to moderate soiling possible. Condition C \u00b7 Heavily used, 20+ sessions. Fabric: Heavier wear, noticeably softer. Pigtails: Pale, with more abrasion and fraying. Trailing edge: May show white breakage. Bridles: Technically sound, more wear than B. Patches: Possible, but not mandatory. Each test kite comes from either... Our KITE BUDDY test pool (our own test sessions, YouTube content) or directly from the Core Kiteboarding test pool (official test events). In both cases, the evaluation is based on identical criteria, therefore the origin makes no difference to the kite's condition. The technology in the Core XR Pro 2 Delta-Bow shape + 5-strut construction: wide wind range and maximum stability under full load, even in gusty conditions. ALUULA\u00ae Composite Airframe: significantly stiffer and lighter than Dacron, faster turning, more precise feedback, less flex under load. CoreTex\u00ae 2 Triple Ripstop Canopy: UV-resistant and dimensionally stable, designed for high stress over many sessions. Intelligent Arc System: the projected kite area increases by over 10 under power. % for extreme boost and long hang time. Core Intelligent Trim System (CIT): three setup modes for bar pressure, steering behavior, and feedback, adjustable without tools. Available sizes as a test kite: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 m\u00b2. Wind range: 11 knots (12m) to 42 knots (6m). All details about the new product: Core XR Pro 2 new product at KITE BUDDY. Your KITE BUDDY test material certificate. KITE BUDDY Test Equipment Certificate Tested \u00b7 Certified \u00b7 With Dealer Warranty 18 Months Dealer Warranty Certificate Physical incl. registered serial number Origin Test pool kite-buddy.de or manufacturer Testing Standardized according to uniform criteria Each test item is tested by us and directly at the manufacturer according to identical evaluation criteria. Not from training or beginner areas. No hidden wear, no risk purchase. Frequently Asked Questions about the Test Equipment Is the Core XR Pro 2 only suitable for Big Air, or can it also be used for normal freeride? + Core classifies the XR Pro 2 itself as "Ultra High Performance Big Air \/ Freeride". The delta-bow shape provides true depower and the 12m version is already rideable from 11 knots. However, it is overqualified as a pure freeride kite for relaxed sessions: The XR Pro 2 is consistently designed for jumping, hangtime and explosive power delivery. Those who primarily cruise and occasionally jump are better served with the Core regular XR or a Pace. What are the specific benefits of the ALUULA Airframe, and does the material hold up even on a used kite? + ALUULA Composite is significantly stiffer and lighter than classic Dacron. You'll feel this directly on the kite: faster turning, more precise feedback, and less flex under load. The material retains its properties even after many sessions, as long as there is no structural damage. The ALUULA Airframe of every test kite is specifically checked for integrity as part of the condition assessment. Which size of the Core XR Pro 2 is suitable for which rider weight? + Core doesn't publish weight charts because wind conditions and rider skill are more important than body weight alone. As a rough guide by wind range: the 10m covers 12-30 knots and is the all-rounder option for most riders, the 8m performs well in 15-36 knots, and the 12m starts working in light winds as low as 11 knots. Write to us shortly before purchasing, and we'll recommend the right size for you. Can I fly the Core XR Pro 2 test kite with a different bar than the Core Sensor 4? + Technically, the XR Pro 2 is compatible with the Core Sensor Bars 2, 3, and 4. However, the tuning and the CIT system are optimized for the Sensor 4. The kite will work with older bars, but you'll be missing out on performance. We only recommend bars from other manufacturers to a limited extent; they must have a high Y-curve, and the pigtails should be compatible (but can also be swapped). How exactly does the dealer warranty work for test equipment if something breaks? + Just like with new goods: You contact us, we inspect the damage, and determine whether it's covered by the dealer warranty. The 18-month warranty starts from the date of purchase. Normal wear and tear on pigtails or bridles is excluded, but structural defects in the canopy or ALUULA airframe are. The physical certificate with the registered serial number serves as your proof of purchase.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
