CORE KTIES SENSOR BAR

CORE SENSOR-BAR

The most progressive bar in the World!

Three reasons why the new CORE SENSOR-BAR will redefine your kiteboarding:

1. The most direct bar feeling

The unique hollow Unibody construction reduces the weight by 43% whilst at the same time increasing the breaking load by 40%. The intelligent mass distribution and reduction of the mass moment of inertia (by 55%) enables a noticeably more direct feeling of the kite. In addition, the leveled bar ends reduce, through improved leverage, the bar steering force.

2. Revolutionary safety

The ergonomically designed revolutionary ROTOR quick-release enables an intuitive safety release with the least amount of effort. In contrast to traditional systems there is no power required against the flow of the water. At CORE the entire safety system, quick-release and the new leash, work together harmoniously. With this the SENSOR-BAR not only exceeds the highest standards, but also sets new levels in safety.

3. Unsurpassed comfort

CORE presents the only 100% self untwisting bar system. The mid-bar grip ability was optimised with a further development of the line guides and a noticeably thinner bar diameter. The low wear adjuster halves the trimming effort required with the new adjuster. The SENSOR-Bar is suitable for all kite sizes – one bar for all. The SENSOR stopper and pro leash are available for pro riders.

Superior Technology: THE BAR

The first hollow bar from one mould. Thanks to the unique Unibody construction, without overlapping connections, the weight of the SENSOR-Bar has reduced by 43% whilst at the same time increasing the breaking load. The trick with the improved kite feedback lies in the intelligent mass distribution and reducing the mass moment of inertia (by 55%) which enables a noticeably more direct feeling of the kite.

The leveled bar ends significantly reduce, through improved leverage, the bar steering force. The connecting pin, on the underside of the bar, is made from pure titanium (Ti) which further reduces wear when adjusting the depower lines. The hollow Unibody of the SENSOR-Bar is made from a newly developed high performance material, an innovation Made in Germany. The SENSOR-Bar has a 40% increased breaking load compared to its predecessor.

Comfortable ride

The mid-bar grip ability was optimised with a further development of the line guides. The successively ordered depower lines now take up no more than 4mm – ideal for the one-handed mid bar hold. And the best thing is that with the noticeably thinner bar diameter the bar feels as light in the hand as it really is. The new adjuster halves the trimming effort required. And lastly the SENSOR-Bar is suitable for all kite sizes.

The new adjuster system is an improvement against all currently available cleat systems. The reason for this: the forces working on the cleat adjuster are halved by adding an additional re-direction over a low-wear adjuster. This results in the system operating with less trimming effort and further allows a more accurate trim setting, even at the upper wind ranges. The 20% lower height of the ROTOR quick-release body improves access to the adjuster. The depower travel can now be adjusted with a simple adjustment of the trimming cleat.

The easy bar length adjustment, with the line attachments at the bar ends, allows the SENSOR-Bar to cover the entire Kite range, from 5 to 17m2, with one bar.

The ROTOR quick-release

The ergonomically designed ROTOR quick-release is absolute innovation. The bi-directional release mechanism enables an intuitive safety release with the least amount of effort. In contrast to traditional systems there is no power required against the flow of the water. At CORE the entire safety system, quick-release and the new leash, work together harmoniously. With this the SENSOR-Bar not only more than meets the highest standards, but also sets new levels in safety.

The laterally fitting Chicken stick avoids the accidental unhooking from the harness hook. With unhooked maneuvers it glides to the side to ensure that it is not in the way when hooking in again.

When closed the quick-release prevents sand from entering the spring mechanism. Should sand enter the ROTOR quick-release body, the transparent material ensures that it is easily detected and can then be rinsed out. The construction is simpler than ever.

Unique 100% self untwisting bar system

Tried and tested, optimised and unique. From the beginning it has been the cornerstone for the unsurpassed comfort at CORE: the self untwisting bar system. The twisting and turning of lines after rotation has always been transferred, by CORE, to below the bar. Pulling down on the bar automatically orders all the lines.

The Safety Leash

The safety leash release is visible at the front of the harness for a quick and intuitive release. This guarantees an unbeatable level of safety. Only the CORE-Leash-System guarantees the highest level of safety. The configuration of leash components and the individual components used prevent the safety leash from being jammed against the harness – especially after release of the quick-release. At CORE the entire safety system, quick-release and the new leash, work together harmoniously.

Lines made in Germany

All the SENSOR-Bar lines come from the German manufacturer LIROS to ensure a high standard of quality. Working together with the leading sailing manufacturer of high performance ropes underlines our requirements. After assembly, the entire line length from the chicken loop, over the depower lines up to the end of the front flight lines are pre-stretched with 200kg. The SENSOR-Bar achieves an additional stiffening of the power lines by splitting the force onto the, depower line integrated, safety line.

The spliced line ends are unique. They are no longer sewn in parallel and as a result their rigidity is increased by 20%. A positive side effect of this is that the laying out of the lines is noticeable easier and faster.

PRO Features

CORE has not only made the SENSOR-BAR more direct, safer and more comfortable, but has also equipped it with features that will appeal to the Pros. The Suicide mode allows the experienced rider to practice unhooked tricks, without the kite completely depowering after releasing the bar. The safety ring, to which the leash is attached, is simply attached to the chicken loop. The safety of the ROTOR-function is 100% unaffected. The Pro can acquire the following additional attachments:

PRO LEASH

Possibly the only Pro Leash on the Market which cannot be jammed behind the harness.

PRO STOPPER

For temporarily locking the bar position whilst riding and especially during high jumps with long flight times. The stopper is released by actively pushing the bar up.

PRO LOOP

Longer chickenloop for Pros that perform a lot of unhooked moves and want to hook in quickly – the path to the adjuster is however lengthened.

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.
