The new CORE GTS has all the strenghts of an ALL IN ONE kite, with the addition of some radical genes injected by the CORE team. The result is a Delta design with radical C-Kite characteristics for Kiteloops, Unhooked Tricks and that direct barfeeling. With a more pronounced C-Shape the GTS achieves more precise steering. On top of the Allround Characterisitcs, the GTS is orientated towards the progressive Freestyle and New-School rider, hooked and unhooked, who demands a more agressive Kite. Waveriders will relish the ability to steer the depowered kite perfectly.
With the awesome direct barfeeling and explosive delivery of power the GTS achieves enormous lift potential for the highest jumps in the mid to high wind ranges.
CORE lives by the Values: Performance, Safety, Quality and Service.

CORE has, for many years, raised and set the benchmark in Workmanship: All CORE Kites have Finish and Quality standards, such as the unmistakeable CORE powerseam, that is unique in the Kite-Industry. Complaints and failure rates are close to nil.
CORE Kites are known for using only the highest quality Material. Only specifically selected materials are used; such as the UV-resistant canopy. The use of only the highest quality materials is combined with a unique manufacturing method: Individual fabrics are first dipped with the coating before being woven and then being heated to the “Calendar finish”. In this way each individual fibre is sealed and this results in the fabric not absorbing water even after extended use; which is in stark contrast to fabrics coated later in the manufacturing process.
In our production facility, in which only Tubekites are produced, we use sophisticated quality management, which work within a zero tolerance framework. This ensures that continuous quality is achieved.
When you touch the Kite lines you can feel the unmistakeable quality of the material. All the lines and knots on the Kite are “Made in Germany”. Yes, we develop them together with our Partner Liros in Germany. Liros lines are well known in Aviation sports, for consistent and perfect finishes, reliable stiffness, abrasion resistance, sensitivity and safety.
The flight lines of the CORE ESP-Bar have a breaking load of 368k at a diameter of only 1,8mm.
The GTS has also new One-Pump-System. The tube lies streamlined and close to the canopy allowing for more cost-efficient servicing.
Middle strut: We are of the opinion that the Middle strut should be “Solid as a rock”. For years we have tried kites or prototypes without Middle Struts or with “Infill-Floating-Struts“; only to confirm that the Flight stability suffers without it. As a result we have stayed with the tried and trusted: „Never change a winning team.“

Two years after the introduction of the legendary GT, CORE introduces the quickest and sportiest Kite that they have ever built.
The legendary all rounder – with additional strength in Freestyle, New School and Wave: The new CORE GTS.
The instant steering reaction is supported by the „Straight Segment Powersteering Tip“ (SSP): The sraight segment between the steering line attachment and the back bridle converts steering imuplses without a loss of energy. Unhooked, the GT performs with the stability of a traditional C-Kite. The Wave-rider will, without a doubt, appreciate the agility and responsiveness.
Another improvement is the “CORE Intelligent Trim System“ (CIT), with which the rider can individually adjust both the barpressure and the turning speed. The turning speed is adjustable from easy handling to super agile. The barpressure and feedback are easily adjustable from light to strong.
On delivery, the Kite is already ideally set-up for 90% of riders.
Pressure-less release on the virtual 5th line guarantees a high standard of safety; in combination with the unique 100% self unwinding ESP Bar.
Typical to CORE is the perfect Auto-Relaunch and the further optimised One-Pump System.
