Accelerate your progression
There’s nothing better than silently traversing your liquid playground with the new XLITE 2. Imagine effortless and precise riding in even the lightest of winds with our fully optimized foiling kite. Add a Sensor 3 Pro Foil bar and SLC foil for a combo that will accelerate your foiling progression.
The canopy material receives a major upgrade that adds more muscle and durability -a big plus- for single strut kites. We added 2 and 3-meter sizes for slicing up the Gorge and a 13.5m for those super-light summer breezes. Heavily modified bridle, panels, and shape accommodate the new smaller sizes to deliver the ultimate foiling experience.
Get your XLITE 2 and join the foiling revolution.
The XLITE 2 in detail
The Specialized Series XLITE 2 is a one-strut foil kite that’s tuned to perfection. By fusing the power of our Nexus allrounder and the superlative drifting from our unbeatable Section wave kite we created a foiling machine that’s an honest 30% lighter than the already light Nexus. The new CoreTex 2.0 canopy features massively improved tear resistance in both directions, slight weight savings, and a new emulsion that improves flight, durability, and longevity. The ExoTex Light on our struts and leading edge is super tough yet lighter than our industry-leading airframe material. Thinner, anti-snag bridles further reduce weight and improve water relaunching.
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.
ONE STRUT LIGHT FRAME
ONE STRUT
MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
Our single strut frame delivers better lightwind control than strutless kites by reducing excessive canopy flutter. Single struts also offer superior water relaunching capabilities over strutless kites, especially in lighter wind and surf conditions. Go one strut!
CORETEX 2.0® Canopy New!
Exclusive to CORE.
Core’s 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 three strut wave kites. CoreTex 2.0 sets the standard in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity, UV protection, and elongation.
EXOTEX® Ultra Rigid Dacron
The benchmark for performance Dacron. No-stretch ExoTex Dacron incorporates a unique radial reinforcing thread pattern and emulsion (protective coating) process that enables higher pressure airframes with smaller diameters. ExoTex improves airflow, flight stability, and rider feedback by substantially increasing tube strength and rigidity despite reducing diameters. Expect snappy turns, less weight, and endless smiles with your Section.
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.
Future-C Shape
SPEED AND PRECISION.
The XLITE 2’s slightly higher aspect ratio Future-C design delivers fast, tight turns. Broader tips generate stable, balanced flight with precise control. Picture yourself carving at speed while gracefully down-looping your XLITE 2. Yup, it’s that easy.
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 VALVE 2
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 pressure. This inflation/deflation system is so good you may even leave your electric pump at home.
GRINTEX PATCHES
ANTI WEAR PATCHES WHERE YOU NEED THEM
Extreme abrasion-resistant patches on leading edge segment seams and strut attachment points give the XR7 another level of protection from perfectly placed beach hazards.
