The high performance, mega loop master, but with depower and tuning options that enable it for waves and freeriding.
Likes: The Nexus 2 is a three strut kite, with Core’s Future C shape canopy that has some quality performance upgrades for 2021 that enhance the handling and give it even more versatility. As a true maverick that can adapt to any riding style or skill level, the Nexus is the most versatile model of the Core’s Universal Series. The wingtips have been widened out on this new version, along with lighter material in the struts which have increased the direct feel and improved the balance, slack line drift and give the kite a more sporty and responsive feel. Water relaunch is quick and easy and the Nexus 2 can also perform the reverse launch by pulling on the outside lines. This has been a popular kite to learn new skills with as the kite has superb stability overhead and the feedback it offers is very direct and allows the rider to always feel where the kite is in the sky. The new Nexus increases the high performance, with faster and smoother turns and even more balanced drift that offers plenty of performance for waves, freeriding or even foiling. The short and compact bridle system also adds to the versatility of the Nexus 2 as it’s equipped with Core’s Intelligent Trim System. This allows three different settings on the front bridles and three on the wingtips. This gives the rider nine different setting configurations, to fine tune the depower and range, as well as the turning speed and bar pressure. Amazing stability, smooth pull, good low end power and tons of options for tuning, the Nexus 2 is a maverick that easily fits into any level of rider’s quiver. For any kiter that’s unsure what conditions might lie ahead, the Nexus 2 is a great choice.
