The Pace should only be flown with the Sensor 4

Unlike the Sensor 3S and older Sensor models, only the Sensor 4's SFS+safety ensures complete depowering of models with fixed bridles.

YOUR RIDE. YOUR PACE
One Kite - Endless Possibilities

The Pace - the brand-new highlight in the CORE lineup engineered for the full range of modern kiteboarding, designed for riders of every level, and equipped with massive potential to progress.

Its fast, agile 3-Strut frame combined with the raw power of its stretched shape make it a sporty free ride all-rounder with top-tier Big Air capabilities. Unlock new tricks, go bigger than ever, or take your loops to the next level.

EXOTEX AIRFRAME
LESS AIR RESISTANCE
FOR MORE SPEED

The power delivery is smoother than in the Pro version. Our long-proven specialty Dacron remains low-stretch under extreme loads and achieves exceptional tear resistance. On the water, you'll feel the benefits of easier upwind performance, explosive lift, and defined turning behavior.

While the Leading Edge is made from ExoTex 2, the struts use ExoTex Light with a modified radial fiber reinforcement pattern - saving weight, optimizing turning, and enhancing drift.


CORETEX 2® TRIPLE RIPSTOP CANOPY
MAXIMUM STABILITY
AND DURABILITY

Extremely low-stretch and at the same time very robust, the exclusive CORE flying cloth optimally supports the properties targeted for the XR Pro with linear power delivery, high flight stability and outstanding control. The special coating ensures extremely good tear resistance, tear propagation resistance and offers very good UV protection.


FIXED BRIDLE
OPTIMALLY SUPPORTED ARCH, PRECISELY CONTROLLABLE

For maximum performance, we've equipped the Pace with a fixed bridle. With 14 points supporting the bow of the kite, even thinner leading edge diameters can be constructed and the position in the wind window can be influenced more. The Pace hangs more firmly on the front lines and unfolds its performance especially through the now very common pre-pop jumping technique. Its loops are consistently smooth without acceleration, and you can precisely control the kiteloop's radius to your preferences.


HIGH ASPECT RATIO
RICH POWER AND HIGH FLIGHT STABILITY

With its fixed bridle, we were able to design the Pace to be even more stretched than the XR Pro. In its special combination of High Aspect Ratio and three struts, we have managed to combine two characteristics that actually contradict each other: on the one hand, absolute top performance in terms of jump height, hangtime and flight stability and on the other hand, fast looping and safe catching.

All-around epic kite

Been riding the Core Pace a lot and it's such a fun all-arounder. Super fast and responsive with a ton of lift when you send it to the moon. It provides really impressive hangtime and feathers you down for landings. This is a great kite to progress on!

My DREAM Kite

The Pace ExoTex is, without a doubt, one of the best kites I have ever gotten to fly. This is a high performance kite that is incredibly accessible to beginners, grows with intermediate riders, and goes *huge* for advanced riders. Steering feels responsive and intuitive and sheeting in delivers plenty of power and hang time.

I really noticed a difference when I was working on my bigger land gaps or technical tricks. The Pace ExoTex delivers a lot of hang time. Quick heli-loops and down-loops make for softer landings. The Pace ExoTex inspires a ton of confidence and allows riders to push themselves while staying in control.

Learned to kiteloop with the pace!

The Pace is my new favorite big air and all around kite. It feels significantly faster steering and responsive compared to the XR and smoother than other 3 strut big air kites. I am an intermediate kiteboarder and put down my first proper kiteloops with the 7m pace in ~26mph conditions. It has a reliable fast steer and catch (from what I can tell, only looping this one) and this really awesome vertical yank sensation when you pop with it which gives a lot of confidence that you will have the line tension for the whole loop. It is still a ton of fun if you aren't yet looping, but will definitely give you the confidence to get there. This kite steers fast and actually drifts decently too so it could be a totally viable 1 kite quiver. Core crushed it on this one!

One Kite Quiver

Really impressed with the Pace! This kite does everything well.
I have been riding the 10m in conditions from light to overpowered, and it can boost and loop like a beast. This kite is not as "sheet-in and go" as the XR, but really likes to be actively flown, with decent bar pressure and great feedback. What really impressed me was its performance on foil, and surf downwinders, it drifts excellent for such a boosty kite. I found that with a 10m I can foil in light wind (11+mph), surf kite in the high teens, and throw powered loops when above 20 mph. This is my one-kite quiver!

Feeling safe LOOPING

As a more advanced rider, I have enjoyed major progress recently making bigger kiteloops in heavier wind. The new Core Pace ExoTex is designed with quick loop recovery in mind and has allowed me to feel more comfortable and confident that the kite WILL catch me after a big loop.
