Description
| 5-Strut Frame : The bombproof, five strut exo skeleton frame is a critical component in the XR5 design to stabilize the additional power created by our Intelligent Arc system. The struts feature new geometry and improved segment stitching that yields better strength, stiffness, and connection to the canopy without increasing its mass. |
 |
| Short Bridle System: The new short bridle system improves the, already quick, response of the kite to steering and makes for an extremely dynamic turning ability. The Riot XR-5 scores highly in waves with its agility and precise bar feedback. It allows you to feel exactly where your kite is at all times. |
 |
| Delta Bow Shape:
The XR-5 incorporates the concave trailing edge of a traditional bow kite and swept back wings of a delta kite. The airfoil is engineered to send you upwind when underpowered,, boost bigger on demand and get you up and planing first! |
 |
| Grintex:
Anti-wear patches where you need them. New, extreme abrasion resistant patches on the leading edge segment seams and strut attachment points will give you another level of protection from those beach hazards. |
 |
| Speed-Pump System:
The distribution hoses of the One-Pump-System have larger diameters. The entry points to the struts have also been more aerodynamically distributed, making the air distribution system work more effectively and more comfortably, resulting in stunning inflation and deflation times. |
 |
| Instant Relaunch: If you happen to have a mishap on the water, don’t worry. The new XR5 will be flying again in, well, “an instant”; thanks to it’s optimized geometry. If you happen to eject, the SUPPORTED SINGLE FRONTLINE SAFETY will disarm your kite without hesitation, and will be waiting for you in the re-launch position. This makes it an ideal match for anyone; whether you’re just doing your first water starts, working on your “Triple-Lindy”, or getting barreled in Indonesia – you’ll be up and riding again before you can say “CORE Kites Rock”. |
 |
| Sensor Bar System: The XR-5 is perfectly matched with Core’s brand new bar systems, the SENSOR 2 bar and the SENSOR PRO bar. They offer superior safety of the SUPPORTED SINGLE FRONTLINE SAFETY (SSF): The kite will be released, without pressure, on a single front line and with partial release on the other frontline resulting in the kite being automatically positioned in the optimum defined position for a re-start. Naturally, the XR-5 is also 100% compatible with all the older CORE bars. |
