Core GTS 2012 Kite Review

Kite Features

The Core GT has proven to be a very one of the most successful all round kites ever. The perfect mix of power and control has made it the number one choice for many riders out there. For the 2012 season, the Core team has come up with a better version of the GT, the GTS. The GTS is the Sport Edition of the GT, and it is faster, more powerful and more reliable. The great thing about the Core GTS is that it offers great all round performance and it can be used for more than one style. At the same time, it is a user friendly kite and it suits all riders looking for an extra thrill.

Core Team has revolutionized the concept of all round performance with the release of the new GTS kite. The GTS is built on a similar blue print as the successful GT, but it is tuned to offer more performance. GTS stands for GT Sport Edition, and it is a kite which offers power, speed, control and it is fun to ride. The Kite blends the best from the Delta and C-kite designs to deliver top control and a good power delivery. The kite is powered up through a One Pump inflation system and it feels very lively once it is set in the air.

The bar delivers a direct feel and allows the rider to steer the kite without effort. Core has used the Straight Segment Powersteering technology which allows the kite to respond accurately to any command without losing energy. Another innovation is the Core Intelligent Trim System which allows the rider to adjust the bar pressure and turning speed to suit his specific needs. For instance, the bar pressure can be set from light to strong without hassle when required.

The virtual 5th line system assures extra safety through a pressureless safety release system. The kite is quite powerful offers awesome lifts. The rider can perform any trick in the book without any effort at all. The GTS is also very stable due to the solid strut configuration and has a constant pull, so the rider can enjoy a fast cruise whenever he wishes. It can be depowered very fast and the auto relaunch system sets it back in the air very easy.

The Core GTS adds a plus of power to your rides and it is guaranteed to offer a great session. It is the perfect choice for freeride, freestyle, new school freestyle or waveriding and it performs outstanding in a wide range of conditions.
