SUPREME MATERIALS FOR UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE
With its ultra-stiff 5-strut frame in a Deltabow shape, this exceptional kite allows you to achieve breathtaking jumps and the longest hang time. Experience an unprecedented level of ride comfort and control with the XR8’s effortless and forgiving handling.
Explosive jump forces and superior upwind performance guaranteed. Thanks to the signiicantly stiffer ExoTex 2 material the kites entire airframe has been fine tuned and enables smaller leading edge and strut diameters – making the kite more agile and responsive with better bar feedback.
When we say you’ll reach new heights … we mean it. The XR8 will take your kiting to extraordinary levels. You’ll find that loops are more efficient with an earlier and smoother catch. The CoreTex 2 canopy is both highly durable and has an extremely low stretch. These two features work together to give the canopy unparalleled flight stability, power and control.

ExoTex 2 gives an 80% increase in tear resistance, while CoreTex 2 an impressive 300%. This ensures that the XR8 delivers first class performance in every session.
