1. Snapping bars
2. Exploding struts
3. Proprietary valves
4. Unsafe quick release
5. Not being able to sell old models at discount
6. Hushing down above challenges
7. “German” product but made in China
I think Germany gotta be ashamed of Core. I see expensive and troublesome product but engineering is on level of community college. And with attitude of importers I think those who love to flash the cash deserve all above drama. No sympathy
Made in Sri Lanka. Not that it matters much...

Yup, same here. Very well made kites, maybe even the best overall, but some questionable design choices, rubbish bar, rubbish marketing, expensive for the sake of perceived value and I'm not too fond of the sale reps.
