XR. Any wind. Any style. A power delta bow kite. And now in black! For pure adrenaline pumping hangtime. A kite that delivers ridiculous whoo-hoos in any conditions. A kite that always has your back.

From freeriding to surf the 4th generation XR delivers control in the gusts and power in the lulls. Your ticket to relaxed cruising, explosive boosts or sublime wave riding. Experience for yourself the XR's chameleon like ability to transform to any style or riding level.

How can we build a high performance all-rounder? With technological innovations like our flight control system, our unique safety system and our intelligent trim system. Like a bird that spreads its wings to generate more lift, the XR4 increases its wingspan with a pull on the bar. Likewise, when sheeting out the bar, the XR4 will fold in its' wings and depower. It is this kind of innovation that exemplifies the design team's drive to create the perfect all-round kite. And the market responded, making the XR series a bestseller. And now available in white or black.

Technically identical, the new black edition delivers the same whoo-hoos as our classic white edition. The same comfort and high performance you expect from an XR series kite. The XR4 features:                                                       

Don't let those warm, sunny, puffy wind days keep you off the water. The powerful XR4 LW edition will get you on the water first. And will keep you upwind from the rest of the pack.

The XR4 LW's DNA is packed with technology to make every light wind day, a day to remember. Like our new Exotex® Dacron which allows us to improve airflow by reducing leading edge and strut diameters. Despite reducing strut diameters, our new design is more stable and agile in flight. For snappy turns. And endless smiles. This is the new XR4 LW edition. Now available in stunning black or original, awesome white.

The XR4 LW in Detail

Two design elements really set the XR4 LW apart from the rest: The bombproof Exotex® Dacron struts and the super tough CoreTex® Light canopy fabric. This fabric combo creates an unbeatable lightweight structure that generates lift in any wind. Freeride on a warm breeze without cycling the kite. Or try a new freestyle trick. Because you can with the new XR4 LW. And for you technophiles, learn more about the cool technology we squeeze into this kite below:

EXOTEX® DACRON NEW
Ceaseless innovation. Our ExoTex Dacron incorporates a new vertical thread structure and emulsion (protective coating) process. The stronger fabric allows us to improve airflow by reducing leading edge and strut diameters. Despite reducing strut diameters, our new ExoTex Dacron improves kite stiffness, flight stability and rider feedback. For snappy pivot turns. Explosive lift. And endless smiles. Hallmarks of the new XR4.
CORETEX® TRIPLE RIPSTOP
Exclusive to CORE. Our, industry leading, triple ripstop canopy fabric is protected and strengthened with three different coating processes called emulsions. CoreTex sets new benchmarks in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity, UV protection and elongation. Feel the tight, crisp signature only a CoreTex kite can deliver.
SHORT BRIDLE SYSTEM
Short and sweet. The super short bridle system improves feedback so you can better feel your kite position. For precise, tight pivot turns. In the larger kite sizes, this reflexivity increases even more so. Just imagine a kite that practically anticipates every turn, as if it's hot wired to your brain. This is the new XR4.
Intelligent Arc
Intelligent Arc is a bridle configuration that modifies the airfoil on demand in a linear and direct way. Like a bird that spreads its wings to generate more lift, the XR4 increases its wingspan with a pull on the bar. Likewise, sheeting out makes the kite fold in its' wings and depower. Intelligent Arc. For precise, controllable power and depower on demand.
5 Strut Frame
The classic, bombproof, 5 strut exoskeleton frame is a critical component in the XR4 design to stabilize the additional power created by our Intelligent Arc system.
Delta Bow Shape
The XR4 incorporates the concave trailing edge of a traditional bow kite and swept back wings of a delta kite. Our airfoil is engineered to rip upwind when underpowered, boost bigger on demand and get you planing first!
CORE INTELLIGENT TRIM SYSTEM (CIT)
Kite speed and bar pressure is a matter of choice. Your choice. With fully adjustable back line tension (aka trim), bar pressure and kite turning speed, our quick adjusting trim system gives you the freedom to ride any way you like. But don’t worry, the kite comes out of the bag ready to fly so you can play with the adjustments later.
Speed Valve 2
No special hose adapter needed here! The Speed Valve 2 connects directly to any standard 20mm OD twist lock pump hose. The Speed Valve 2 maximizes airflow, minimizes inflation times and noticeably reduces pump pressure. This inflation/deflation system is so good you may even leave your electric pump at home.
SPEED PUMP SYSTEM
Supersonic inflation! We re-routed the speed-pump strut distribution hoses to make air flow faster into the struts. We did this for you because we know how much you enjoy inflating your kite.

INSTANT AUTO RELAUNCH
Instant relaunch really is instant! The XR4 is designed to immediately drift into a perfect relaunch position whenever the bar is released. Wave riders will appreciate how easily the kite releases from the water when time is of the essence. So go ahead and try that strapless 360, you know your XR4 has your back.

SENSOR BAR SYSTEM
The XR4 is fully compatible with the Sensor 2 or the titanium cored Sensor Pro bar which features precise kite control and our unparalleled Supported Single Frontline Safety (SSF) system. Find out why our bars work best for the XR4 here.

GRINTEX®
Anti-wear patches where you need them. New, extreme abrasion resistant patches on leading edge segment seams and strut attachment points will give you another level of protection from those perfectly placed beach hazards.

COMPATIBILITY
The XR4 is fully compatible with the Sensor 2 Bar, Sensor Pro bar and Sensor bar.

Delivery includes

  • XR4 kite, high performance kite bag,
  • pro repair kit and manual.
  • The LW Editions include 3m line extensions.
Ultra Light Wingtips
The new Exotex Dacron gave our engineers the freedom to redesign the wingtips with less material without compromising durability. Less material equals less swing weight. Less swing weight means faster turns.
EXOTEX® SLIM STRUTS
Slim is good. The new ExoTex Dacron gives our engineers new design flexibility. For example, this ultra strong Dacron structure is so unique it allows us to increase strut pressure and reduce strut diameters in the XR4 LW. Thinner struts are more flexible which delivers better reflexivity and therefore quicker turn ins. And finally, thinner struts improve aerodynamics thereby allowing the kite to point higher.

CORETEX® LIGHT
Exclusive to CORE. Just a little lighter. Our, industry leading, ripstop canopy fabric is just as durable as the original CoreTex yet sets new benchmarks in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity and UV protection. Feel the tight, crisp signature only a CoreTex Light kite can deliver.
SHORT BRIDLE SYSTEM
Short and sweet. The super short bridle system improves feedback so you can better feel your kite position. For precise, tight pivot turns. In the larger kite sizes, this reflexivity increases even more so. Just imagine a kite that practically anticipates every turn, as if it's hot wired to your brain. This is the new XR4.
Intelligent Arc
Intelligent Arc is a bridle configuration that modifies the airfoil on demand in a linear and direct way. Like a bird that spreads its wings to generate more lift, the XR4 LW increases its wingspan with a pull on the bar. Likewise, sheeting out makes the kite fold in its' wings and depower. Given that Intelligent Arc can change the XR4 LW's projected surface area by 10 percent, it delivers more control for higher reaches in marginal winds.
5 Strut Frame
The classic, bombproof, 5 strut exoskeleton frame is a critical component in the XR4 LW design to stabilize the additional lift created by the bigger sizes.
Delta Bow Shape
The XR4 LW incorporates the concave trailing edge of a traditional bow kite and swept back wings of a delta kite. Our airfoil is engineered to rip upwind when underpowered, boost bigger on demand and get you planing first!
