Future C-Shape:
The Core Nexus carries over the familiar Nexus C-kite feel we all have come to love.
The high aspect ratio, open C shape delivers smooth and controllable kiteloops and that unmistakable “on centre” feel.
When paired with the Sensor 3S bar, riders will immediately feel the Nexus’s sweet spot and appreciate the kite’s linear response when sheeting in and out. Try a Future-C kite, and you’ll never go back.
Exotex Ultra Rigid Dacron:
ExoTex Dacron incorporates a unique thread structure and emulsion (protective coating) process that enables a higher pressure airframe and noticeably thinner struts. It substantially increases tube strength and rigidity.
No-stretch ExoTex improves airflow, flight stability, and rider feedback by eliminating leading edge seam bulging. Expect snappy turns. Explosive lift. And endless smiles on your new XR6.
Speed Pump System:
This model receives shorter air hoses to reduce weight and improve airflow to the struts.
When you haven't kited in a few days, every second counts :)
CIT Modes:
Start by selecting your favorite CIT mode on the leading edge bridle connection points. The wave mode makes the kite turn faster and increases depower. It also provides more lift when you pull on the bar.
The freestyle mode increases your turn radius, stabilizes the kite for easier freestyle moves, and provides a little extra grunt. The kite comes out of the bag in allround mode which provides excellent depower, grunt, and superb hangtime.
Complete your personalization by adjusting the steering line connection points to set turning speed and bar pressure. But don’t worry, the kite comes ready to fly in the most common settings.
Instant Relaunch:
The Nexus is designed to immediately drift into a perfect relaunch position when it hits the water. One quick tug on the bar and the Nexus launches itself effortlessly.
Riders will appreciate how easily the kite releases from the water when time is of the essence. And beginners gain confidence knowing their kite will be flying in no time. So go ahead and try some new moves, you know your Nexus has your back.
3-Strut Light Frame:
Three strut greatness. They initiate turns faster than similar five strut designs which is an important consideration in waves.
Tthree strut frames save weight, deliver better lightwind balance, and improve drifting.
Three strut perfection. Strong. Stable. And light.
Coretex Triple Ripstop Canopy:
Our, industry-leading, triple ripstop canopy fabric is protected and strengthened with a special coating process.
CoreTex sets the standard in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity, UV protection and elongation. Feel the tight, crisp signature only a CoreTex kite delivers.
Speed Valve 2:
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.
Radical Reaction Tips:
The GTS5 inherits cat-like reflexes from its square-ish, ‘C-style,’ wingtips.
Core fine-tuned the leading edge profile to provide added confidence-inspiring reflexes, agility, and directional control.
Surf Profile:
The maximum camber is shifted further back, and its aspect ratio is lowered (that means it’s a little fatter) to improve drifting.
Give it gas, and the Nexus comes alive!
The surf profile also improves wave riding in onshore winds as this wing shape loves to go upwind and not backstall when riding down the wave.
Grintex Patches:
Extreme abrasion resistant patches on leading edge segment seams and strut attachment points give the GTS5 another level of protection from perfectly placed beach hazards.
Ultra Short Bridle System:
A little shorter and even sweeter. The un-bowtie-able, two pulley, bridle system is super short on the GTS5 which improves bar reaction, feel and positional feedback.
And for this kiteloop machine, having precise bar control in your hands is a bonus when you’re blind and upside down.
Sensor Bar Ready:
The Nexus is optimized for CORE’s ultralight Sensor bar systems including the latest Sensor 3.
They feature precise kite control, unmatched safety, and uncluttered simplicity.
