HALO PRO 2
THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF ULTRA HIGH WING PERFORMANCE
With the Halo Pro 2, CORE takes its high-performance wing concept to a new level. A completely re-engineered platform, innovative manufacturing technologies, and an uncompromising material mix deliver greater efficiency, more precise control, and an exceptionally direct riding experience. Developed for ambitious intermediate to advanced riders, the Halo Pro 2 is designed for those who demand maximum performance in freeride and wave conditions.
POLYFUSION®: TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT. PERFORMANCE YOU CAN FEEL.
The Halo Pro 2 represents a technological milestone in wingfoiling. Featuring Polyfusion®, a technology developed in collaboration between CORE, ALUULA, and Aqua Dynamics, the Exo LT panels made from ALUULA™ 98 in the leading edge and center strut are no longer conventionally stitched or simply glued together. Instead, they are structurally welded together under high temperature. Load-bearing seams are significantly reduced,allowing forces to be transferred more directly throughout the entire airframe. The result is exceptionally precise feedback, enhanced profile stability, and highly efficient power transfer. At the same time, Polyfusion® reduces the need for additional reinforcements and lays the foundation for another world first: a true 3-strut design across the entire size range.
"With Polyfusion®, we didn't simply optimize a construction method, we fundamentally reimagined how a wing is built. The direct power transfer and structural integrity create a flying sensation unlike anything we've achieved before." – Florian Heldens, Kite & Wing Developer at CORE
3-Strut Design Across All Sizes
As the first wing ever, the Halo Pro 2 features a true 3-strut configuration throughout the entire size range. This construction creates an exceptionally well-defined profile all the way to the tips while increasing tension along the trailing edge. Flutter is significantly reduced, while stability and control are enhanced. At the same time, the wing benefits from increased lift, higher speeds, and improved upwind performance. In waves, the Halo Pro 2 excels with outstanding drift characteristics and controlled behavior during directional changes.
Premium Materials for Maximum Efficiency
For the first time, CORE combines its highest-performing materials in a fully optimized construction. The new CoreTex® Power Matrix canopy delivers precise profile definition and long-term shape stability while maintaining a low overall weight, supporting the wing's exceptional shape stability. Combined with Exo LT panels made from ALUULA™ 98, the result is an airframe that balances maximum performance with high levels of comfort. Different stiffness levels throughout the construction provide direct power transfer in the center while delivering effective damping in the outer sections. This improves both control in stronger winds and comfort in gusty conditions. New, highly durable X-Ply windows further enhance the design, providing a clear and distortion-free view.
"The Halo Pro 2 combines uncompromising performance with an exceptionally controlled character. The combination of Polyfusion®, the 3-strut concept, and the innovative material mix delivers a level of efficiency and precision that noticeably advances this wing in every discipline." – Philip Schinnagel, CBO CORE
Bionic Boom: Precision Meets Comfort
For handling, CORE continues to rely on its proven Bionic Boom, manufactured from a single, seamless carbon piece. It combines the precision of a traditional boom with the comfort of modern handles. Its ergonomic shape promotes a natural arm position and significantly reduces strain on the wrists. The power point can be controlled precisely at all times, making one-handed riding particularly comfortable. At the same time, the wide connection to the center strut increases stiffness and delivers even more direct feedback.
Efficient Down to the Finest Detail
The Halo Pro 2 features two Speed Valves located on the leading edge and center strut. Combined with the HyperFlow System, they enable significantly faster inflation and deflation. The separate air systems allow riders to independently adjust pressure in the leading edge and center strut, tailoring the wing's characteristics to personal preferences and conditions. New Ultralight Battens along the trailing edge provide maximum trailing-edge stability while reducing weight. The optimized front handle improves control while drifting and enables more precise corrections when riding flagged out. The result is even more intuitive handling, especially when riding waves.
