I really hope the additional color doesn't increase the bar pressure.

Re: Core XR7
Shortened? Like 1cm?
Still looks long to me. Have to place it next to XR6 pictures to notice it. Looks like only the lower pulley sits a bit higher. Pardon the crappy paint.

Re: Core XR7
They've been using that marketing for years now. The difference between the 6 and 7 bridle is minimal, but it's there to be fair.SMJ wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 7:00 pmSee this article:

Re: Core XR7
I don't care much how they look, but not sure why they went with this orange thing when they added some colour? The XR6 looks a lot better in my opinion.
Then again I seem to disagree with quite a few brands when it comes to design. I absolutely love the main colours on the North Orbit. I think all three of them are really good choices, but I hate the contrasting colour and the way "Orbit" is written in the most boring font they could find (the North logo I think is one of the better).
Anyway. Since my update of quiver got delayed by one year these will be on my list. Will be interesting to hear what people got to say about them.

Re: Core XR7
yes because it very easy to confuse size 6m & 9m when you see them on the water
