PACE PRO 2
CONTROLLED EXTREMES FOR MODERN BIG AIR
Two years after its market introduction, CORE introduces fundamental design updates to its sport-focused Big Air performer, refining it for the demands of modern Big Air riding. Engineered for maximum height, extended hangtime, and controlled single loops, the Pace Pro 2 targets highly experienced riders who don’t expect performance to be handed to them, but actively demand it.
Big Air has evolved—and so have the demands placed on the kite. Where multiple loops once dominated, today the focus is on height, hangtime, and clean, predictable loops. This is exactly where the Pace Pro 2 comes in. With a completely newly developed 5-Strut design, an Aluula® Airframe, and precisely tuned shape and bridle adjustments, it delivers controlled extremes for riders aiming to master modern Big Air.
5-Strut design for maximum high-end stability
The Pace Pro 2 marks a decisive step from a 3-Strut to a 5-Strut design.
“The additional structure provides significantly more stability in the high end, a more solid feel on the bridle, and maximum control in critical phases—without sacrificing the outstanding loop characteristics of the Pace concept,” explains Frank Ilfrich, Head of Kite Design. “The result: more boosting power, greater control, and a riding experience that remains predictable—even during extreme Big Air maneuvers.”
Aluula® Airframe & ExoTex® Light Struts
At the heart of the Pace Pro 2 is the Aluula® Airframe, enabling maximum stiffness and precise power transmission. Combined with ExoTex® Light Struts, it delivers extremely direct and responsive handling with only a minimal weight increase compared to its predecessor. Unnecessary Aluula® strut reinforcements have been removed, almost entirely compensating for the added weight of the additional struts—performance without noticeable compromise.
Loop control & second lift
The Pace Pro 2 is specifically tuned for clean single and heli loops. Compared to XR and XR Pro, the loops are less aggressive but offer a clearer radius and improved predictability. High loop stability delivers confidence at great heights and during critical loop phases. A distinctly defined second lift supports the rider after takeoff with sustained lift—resulting in long, controlled hangtime and safe landings during modern Big Air moves.
Fine-tuned shape for modern Big Air
Slightly increased sweep, added depth in the center, and targeted bridle fine-tuning create the exact balance of hangtime, controlled lift, and clean loop radii demanded by modern Big Air riders. The Pace Pro 2 feels stable, calm, and predictable—even where other kites start to become nervous.
