192 PRODUCT FOCUS CORE GTS4 | GTS4 LW | Sensor 2S www.corekites.com Product focus CORE GTS4 | GTS4 LW Sensor 2S text and photo courtesy COREKITES CORE recently released its next generation freestyle weapon, the 4th generation of its unhooked bestseller. The all new GTS4 is the newest member of the Universal+ Series. An allrounder with super powers in unhooked freestyle. And paired with the new Sensor 2S, the GTS4 is a dream machine for any kite loop fanatic who also enjoys an afternoon in the waves. The latest member of CORE’s Universal+ Series of high performance allrounders now features more range, an ExoTex frame, and a ultra short bridle configuration. Together, the refinements make this bestseller even more dynamic, responsive and rangy while faithfully retaining its signature GTS feel. CORE’s top selling freestyler is poised to conquer the waters in 2016. The slightly higher aspect Future-C shape has more depower than ever before. The noticeably more durable ExoTex equipped 3 strut frame improves its airfoil in gusts, lulls and while slack lining. And the unbowtie-able bridle makes this high performance allrounder even more responsive to bar inputs while staying true to its freestyle roots. Adjusting the GTS4’s flight settings is super easy and, thankfully, does not require any trial and error. The refined Core Intelligent Trim System (CIT) allows you to precisely adjust how the kite behaves during the loop. New for 2017 is how the front bridle CIT settings on the leading edge affects kite performance. It is markedly different from the GTS3’s CIT in that the knot positions have a more pronounced effect. CORE used to talk about the how to adjust the pulling forces with the GTS3’s CIT system. Now, they talk about how to modify flight behaviour. Use the CIT’s inside knot and the GTS4 depowers more effectively. It turns tighter and faster around a centre that is closer to the middle of the kite. The tighter down loops make this setting the preferred choice for wave riders. Select the CIT’s middle or outside knot and front line pressure increases. Kite loop radii increases and power increases exponentially which in turn make Steven’s mega loops all the more exciting to watch. The signature, explosive, pop and linear bar response that GTS riders expect is further enhanced by refined loop control. The new GTS4 is “Freestyle made easy.” comments chief kite designer, Frank Ilfrich. Frank cites further improvements in backstall prevention and bar control during header loops, kiteloops or megaloops if you dare.
FREESTYLE | WAVE | FREERIDE SIZES:: 5,0 | 6,0 | 7,0 | 8,0 | 9,0 | 10,0 | 11.0 | 12.0 | 13,5 | LW 15.0 | LW 17.0 The GTS4 delivers a confident and stable platform to master your first backroll or your latest backroll kiteloop transition with a tail grab. As expected from a CORE Universal+ Series high performance allrounder, you will also find DNA from wave and freeride kites. For those inclined to use their new GTS4 in the waves will find its improved down the line drifting and super fast down loops to be seriously grin inducing. Kiters not feeling the freestyle vibe will appreciate the GTS4’s improved wind range on those unforgettable 20km downwinders. CORE’s obsession with the smallest of details continues with new GTS4. Only, the highest quality components like its new ExoTex frame and bridle lines are sourced even if they cost a little more. CORE carries over its highly intelligent trim system which offers fully adjustable back line tension (aka trim), bar pressure and kite turning speed to give stylers the freedom to customize their ride. Huge valves make pumping up the kite a cinch. Naturally, we recommend pairing the GTS4 with the superlative Sensor bar system; the lightest, most direct, feeling bar on the market with the only no push, no pull quick release. Europe’s favorite kiteloop... unhooked...freestyle ninja is coming to a store near you in nine sweet sizes from 5 to 13.5m. And don’t forget about the GTS4 LW lightwind edition which is available in 15 and 17m sizes. The biggest change in the Sensor 2S is the new ceramic untwist function. The original Sensor 2 required the user to pull on the bar to unravel front line twists after rotations and kite loops. The new model replaces the stainless steel bearing on the Rotor quick release with a hi-tech ceramic ball bearing design. Now, front lines virtually self unwind. “It’s durable and ingenious.” comments Ilfrich. The bearing is designed to crush any small particle that may find its way in. A little attention and a quick rinse now and then will ensure long lasting performance. Just try the new 2S.” suggests Ilfrich. He is confident the improvements to the already exceptional Sensor 2 bar are measureable and performance boosting. In addition to the 2S, the Pro model incorporates an all carbon bar, full Tectanium lines from kite to chickenloop, and Vario line lengths. 2S and Pro model too much for you? Then stick with the original bar. You won’t be disappointed. CO- RE’s biased advice is to try ‘em all. They tell us everyone who tries the 2S, sticks with it.
