Not for boosting, freestyle or leaving covered in shit in your car or garage for weeks at a time.
Purely for going fast in specific conditions where actually not having gear failure is high on the priority list.
Did he say it was a retail product or one that was part of the XR5 development cycle for the public? Nope he didn’t
They already did put a hair-thin tektanium shit line in PU as a center "safety" line in new bars. Not race bars! That's out there! It is breaking!
Previous thick line was eaten in a few months BUT at least you could see the wear.. not the case with the new one.
And self-unwind feature stopped working either.. the replaced bar is less than 1 year old, but I doubt they will be replacing it again.. can someone prove me wrong?
It sucks that "revolutionary" ceramic self-untwist swivel in a $600 bar cannot last a year would not you think?
So yeah, if they pretend that XR5/6 is a race kite and do this shit, I'll dump it w/o thinking..
My bad.. it must be my english (not my native language).. I probably misinterpreted it when the UK dealer (?) said that xr5 was breaking some race records and they were working on thinner race bridles for it... So not a race kite.. good..

Let’s take it down a notch..
No one is pretending anything is a Race kite. No one HAS to have the most expensive bar either the sensor 2 is more than enough, you think the techtanium one is over priced? , don’t buy it. You don’t want a carved board? Get the choice or other TT save some money.
I had a ceramic bearing set up replaced, the new one was fine and now run a sensor 2 bar with same swivel, no problem
PU covering on all depower lines on ALL brands can be attacked
Cab, north click bar, ozone they all cover the line.
It’s not that core are out on their own and the only ones doing it so clearly the guys designing the gear across multiple brands feel it is of benefit
This thread is odd really, in 12 pages the op never put up a picture of the failure as usually happens or they are called out to do so.
Plus the USA dustributor has said nothing publicly or to the OP.
This is just plain weird.
My store is still trying to hear from Core Germany. I'm not trying to harm either.james wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 6:33 pmHow does the store you bought from feel about this? Are you wanting to harm them or Brett’s business?
Unless you have the situation of the distributor selling direct in which case I stand by the fact that Brett had mugged you off. Not Core, Brett.
A better title might be
Don’t buy Core kites from Brett....
