Buy a used Core Air lightwind kite \u00b7 Tested test equipment with an 18-month warranty. Want more sessions in light wind without paying the full new price? The Core Air lightwind kite 2025 is now available as tested test equipment from KITE BUDDY, with savings of up to 35%. As the light wind specialist in the CORE family, it flies reliably from around 10 knots and remains robust for everyday use thanks to its 3-strut frame and ExoTex 2 fabric. Each kite comes with an 18-month dealer warranty and a physical certificate with a registered serial number. 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, usage time approx. 1 to 10 sessions. Fabric and prints: coating without significant wear or damage. Pigtails: plenty of color, little abrasion. Leading edge: without 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, usage time 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: without visible defects. Bridles: slight signs of use, technically sound. Patches: not clean, light to moderate soiling possible. Condition C \u00b7 Heavily used, usage time 20+ sessions. Fabric: more wear, noticeably softer. Pigtails: pale, with more abrasion and fraying. Leading 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). Evaluation is based on identical criteria in both cases, so the kite's condition is irrelevant. The technology in the Core Air lightwind kite: High-Aspect-Ratio shape: Narrow at the tips, wider in the middle. This shape generates more lift and noticeably more powerful pull in light winds. ExoTex 2 leading edge + ExoTex light struts: The leading edge builds up pressure quickly, while the light struts ensure a lively and direct response. CoreTex 2 fabric: Dimensionally stable and tear-resistant. The kite remains precise in its handling, even when wind pressure drops. Tectanium bridle: Thin, low-drag bridle for low steering resistance (wind resistance) directly at the bar. Relaunches from approximately 9-10 knots: Robust relaunch, not an ultralight. The smaller version can be looped, while the larger one remains surprisingly agile. Available sizes: 15 m\u00b2 and 17 m\u00b2. All details about the new product: Core Air light wind kite. New product at KITE BUDDY. Your KITE BUDDY test material certificate. KITE BUDDY test material certificate. Tested \u00b7 Certified \u00b7 With dealer warranty. Warranty: 18 months. Dealer warranty. Certificate: Physical, including registered serial number. Origin: Test pool kite-buddy.de or manufacturer. Testing: Standardized according to uniform criteria. Every test item is tested by us and directly by the manufacturer according to identical evaluation criteria. Not from training or beginner areas. No hidden wear and tear, no risk purchase. Frequently asked questions about the test material: Is the Core Air also worthwhile for heavier riders? + Yes, especially the 17 m\u00b2 version. CORE developed the Air for conditions in which many kites no longer provide sufficient pull. Riders weighing 80 kg and over benefit from the enlarged center section and the ExoTex 2 leading edge, which generates sufficient lift even in low wind pressure. As a demo kite, you get the same performance at a significantly lower price. What's the difference between the 15 m\u00b2 and 17 m\u00b2 versions? + The 15 m\u00b2 is the more agile choice and can be looped. The 17 m\u00b2 covers even lighter wind conditions and is particularly suitable for heavier riders or windless spots. Surprisingly, despite its size, the 17 m\u00b2 remains agile and easy to control. Which kite bar fits the Core Air? + The Core Air is only compatible with the CORE Sensor 4 or the Sensor 4 Pro bar. Other bars are not technically compatible with this kite. If you don't yet have a suitable bar, please contact us; we'll help you choose one. How does a warranty claim work for a demo kite? Just like with a new purchase: You contact us, we review the case, and handle it as a specialist retailer. The 18-month dealer warranty covers manufacturing defects, not normal wear and tear. The physical certificate with the registered serial number speeds up the process. Can I return the test kite if its condition doesn't meet my expectations? A 30-day right of withdrawal applies, just like with new goods. Before purchasing, carefully review the condition description (and photos, if available) in the variation selection, as all relevant details are documented there. If the actual condition doesn't match the description, we will, of course, clarify the matter.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
