Foil
All in.
And nothing but.
Serious foilers will feel how light and responsive the XLITE 2 is in the air. And how it loops with just enough pull to get you safely around your air jibes. Beginners will appreciate the XLITE's reverse launch ability. Whether it's foiling lake Garda, foilsurfing Silver Rock's swell, or freestyling your home spot, the XLITE 2 will light up your foil.
Sensor 3 Pro Foil
A specialized bar
for specialists.
For the ultimate XLITE 2 experience, select the highly specialized Sensor 3 Pro Foil bar. Its narrower width (45cm/41.5cm), and super thin lines reduce air resistance and improve steering. Heck, even water starts in light winds are easier. The bar comes standard with 22-meter long Tectanium Vario Lite lines (16+4+2m) that have a breaking load of over 300 kilograms. We also include an additional 3m line extension so you can ride 25m lines if you should choose.
Features
NEW! CORETEX 2.0® TRIPLE RIPSTOP Canopy
More stability.
All the control.
Exclusive to CORE. Our industry-leading, triple ripstop canopy fabric is even better. The marginally lighter canopy fabric features massively improved tear resistance, stiffness, and durability. A new coating process aids stability in higher winds -a big plus- for single strut kites. CoreTex 2.0 sets the standard in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity, UV protection, and elongation.
EXOTEX® LIGHT ULTRA RIGID DACRON
10% LIGHTER YET MORE ROBUST.
Same ExoTex benefits. Just a little lighter. No-stretch ExoTex Light Dacron incorporates a unique radial reinforcing thread pattern and emulsion (protective coating) process that enables higher pressure airframes with smaller diameters. ExoTex Light features a re-engineered reinforcing thread pattern that reduces mass by approximately 10%. The new Dacron improves airflow, flight stability, and rider feedback by substantially increasing tube strength and rigidity despite reducing diameters. Expect a smooth ride, snappy turns, and endless smiles on your XLITE 2.
LW PROFILE
BUILT FOR THE LIGHTEST DAYS.
The efficient light wind profile generates power and speed with a maximum camber that is shifted further back to improve drifting. Give it gas, though, and the XLITE 2 comes alive! You'll feel in total control bearing downwind and carving those delicious air jibes.
INSTANT RELAUNCH
Don't be left in a lurch.
A quick relaunch is critical in lighter winds and surf conditions. So, we designed the kite to reverse launch when needed. The mono strut makes water relaunching in the surf a breeze compared to strutless designs.
CIT MODES
YOUR XLITE, YOUR WAY.
Custom-fit your XLITE 2 to your riding style. Start by selecting your preferred CIT modes on the leading edge bridle connection points. The wave mode makes the kite turn faster, increases depower and doesn't pull you off your board. The freestyle mode increases your turn radius, stabilizes the kite for more natural foil-style moves. This mode also provides a little extra grunt and lift, making foot changes a snap. The kite comes out of the bag in allround mode, which provides excellent depower, grunt, and handling. Start your foil adventures in allround mode and enjoy the ride!
Ultrashort Bridle System
Precise turns
without spinning.
Short and sweet. The XLITE 2's super short bridle system improves feedback, so you better feel your kite's position. And the new anti-snag bridle attachment points improve water relaunching. Now, imagine a kite that practically anticipates every turn, as if it's hot-wired to your brain. We modified the bridles for the 2 and 3-meter sizes to further improve handling.
Speed Pump System
Fast in.
Fast out.
Fully pumped in no time. Huge air hoses and strut valves allow uninhibited air flow. And when you haven't foiled in a few days, every second counts.
Speed Valve 2
Light. Comfortable. And fast.
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 effort. This inflation/deflation system is so good you may even leave your electric pump at home.
SENSOR BAR READY
The XLITE 2 is optimized for CORE's ultralight Sensor bar system. They feature precise kite control, unmatched safety, and uncluttered simplicity. Select the new Sensor 3 Pro Foil bar for the ultimate performance. Trust us on this one.
