CORE KITES XR2 ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


RIOT XR2


THE NEW GENERATION OF THE LEGENDARY CROSSRIDE KITE

A few years ago CORE defined the cross-ride class, with the legendary Riot, which suits freeride, freestyle and wave kiters equally well. By increasing the performance with the XR2 the kiter is not only able to get unprecedented height and endless hangtime, experience effortless freeride, and beautiful wave riding ,but also has the potential for no-compromise freestyle performance – on tap! At the same time comfort has been moved up a notch.

PERFORMANCE
› Massive airs and endless hangtime, on demand, with the Intelligent-ARC
› Optimized profile for early planing and easy up wind ability.
› Fast turning and maneuverability, thanks to the new tip geometry

COMFORT

› Absolute linear and direct Kite feedback
› Perfect auto relaunch with the Delta design
› The new speed valve Speed-Pump-System – gets you onto the water quickly.

SAFETY

› Pressure-less release on the virtual 5th line
› Totally compatible with the new SENSOR-Bar

HARMONIOUS POWER DELIVERY

Besides the performance increase, the CORE R & D team has improved the comfort even further. This is immediately noticeable with the bar. The Depower characteristics are heavily influenced by the intelligent ARC.
The new Riot XR2 still has a linear response when the bar is pushed up; the power is reduced harmoniously and not abruptly. The bar pressure has been further minimized; while the, CORE typical, direct steering and feedback have been improved.

INTELLIGENT ARC

The new Riot XR2 profile design sets new standards in terms of lift and hangtime. The "Intelligent-ARC", a first in the XR2, makes the successor to the legendary Riot a true jumping machine. Intelligent ARC comes from nature: Like a bird that glides for long periods without flapping its wings, the Riot XR2 spread its wings when the bar is pulled in to the maximum. Similarly the projected area is reduced when the kite is depowered. This biomechanical principle results in an increased power delivery that improves planing without developing side forces. Upwind ability is also improved. The all-rounder has also upped its game in the waves. The kite is even easier to steer when fully depowered.

OPTIMIZED PROFILE & TIP GEOMETRY

The development team was able to achieve faster and more precise turning with the optimized tip geometry. The new Riot XR2 has a significantly higher turning speed due to improved leverage. This has been achieved by a further optimized outline, in which the tip has a slightly increased diameter, so that the attachment points can be further apart. The new profile curve in the tip of the kite ensures that the flow of the kite is not negatively affected by even the strongest steering movements and allows for more precise turning ability thanks to the increased stability.

FULL PERFORMANCE WITH THE SENSOR-BAR

With the recently introduced SENSOR-Bar CORE has already set new standards in safety, which exceeds the highest standards. The new Riot XR2 is optimally matched to the SENSOR-BAR, with pressure-less release on a virtual fifth line. The auto-launch is, CORE typical, simple and perfect.

SPEED VALVE

CORE begins with the new, surprisingly simple, "Speed-Valve" Speed-Pump-System. The direct connection of the pump hose to the bayonet Speed Valve provides more than twice the cross section for maximum air intake and easy pumping. It allows the rider to be the first to be on the water. The integrated stick serves to deflate the kite. It keeps the new membrane open during deflation. The new Riot XR2 therefore has only one valve, which serves as both the inlet and outlet.


RIOT XR2 LW

THE AGILE LIGHT-WIND CROSS RIDE KITE

The Riot XR LW 17.0 has been THE light-wind kite since Summer 2010 and has set the standard in light-wind tube kites, especially in performance and comfort characteristics. After two years of development and worldwide tests CORE is raising the bar:
With the new Riot XR2 LW CORE presents a worthy successor to the doldrums killer. Now available in three sizes 15.0, 17.0 and 19.0 to cater for all riders, with a special light wind profile and light-wind optimised weight. Experience incredible light-wind sessions, from just 6 knots, with the first light-wind kite that has deserves the prefix “Riot XR”.
Despite the incredible light wind performance and easy upwind riding, the XR2 LW is still easily controllable in strengthening wind conditions. “LW” stands for Light Wind and this wasn’t the only requirement we set when designing the three sized doldrums’ killer.

LW FOR “LIGHT WIND”

All the XR2 performance and comfort characteristics have been added to the XR2 LW. Special emphasis has been placed on agility, which allows for dynamic riding in the light wind sizes. This allows the new “LW” to accelerate easily with tight figure eights. With the Riot XR2 LW you will experience dreamy light wind session on glassy water, with massive power on demand for endless hang time and the agility for easy kite loops. All of this with the lightest breeze and the least amount of power required.
We maintain that the new Riot XR2 LW is not only the lightest-wind tube kite on the market, but is also the only kite of its size which is easily able to do kite loops. The massive (and smooth) power delivery allows for huge airs and massive hang time in even the lightest winds. All of this is achieved without compromising on the legendary Riot XR2 comfort.

LW FOR “LIGHT WEIGHT’

The weight of the kite could, thanks to a new technique, be noticeably reduced; naturally without compromising on the typical CORE build quality. CORE guarantees that there was no skimping on the hard-wearing Dacron fabric or robust Kevlar at vital points on the kite.
With the Riot XR2 LW there is no need to leave the water when the wind exceeds 15 knots, for fear of having the seams fly past your ears. This quality is especially important for riders who want to use their light-wind kite in increasing winds or who require a bit more lift from the kite.

FULL PERFORMANCE WITH THE NEW SENSOR-BAR

The new Riot XR2 LW is optimally matched to the SENSOR-BAR, with pressure-less release on a virtual fifth line. The auto-launch is, CORE typical, simple and perfect.
