Alden C. I flew the XR8 a ton in my beginner days of kiting, as it gave me a ton of stability and hang time in the air, and boosted my confidence. Now being more advanced, I’m psyched I’ve been able to get a ton of sessions on the XRX, and my favorite kite got even better with this generation. Still has that explosive boosting, easy flying, good bar feel, and most of all, insane hang time and stability in the air. Now, this kite is even stiffer and lighter than the XR8, which can really be felt when sending the kite and carving upwind into a jump; the steering is just so precise and it gives you so much pop. The lightness can really be felt in the larger sizes too, and I’ve had a ton of fun on the 13.5m because of it. In the air, the hang time and lift is phenomenal, and this kite has given me the stability and confidence to learn heli loops & jump higher than I ever have before. Can’t wait to keep sessioning this one!

Finn M. The XRX is so amazing. I am a huge fan of all the core gear because it is so consistently good. Definitely that German engineering. This kite shoots you into the sky and then floats you down. It is a bit slower than a kite like the pace but if you are looking to break your jump record this is the kite you want.

Freddie b. Kite is so much better than the last generation. It is lofty and a hell of a lot quicker than past generations. I have been teaching a lot on them and found a lot of success with my students. Just got off the water teaching beginner jumps and he got a great load and pop as well as some solid hang time.

Will F. I have only ridden the 7 Meter of this kite so far but I noticed improvements in how the kite handles gusty and overpowered conditions compared to the previous models. The Xrx has fixed the bouncy and spongy feel of the smaller sizes when Riding lit, while still maintaining the sheet and go power and easy steering that the Xr is known for.
