Description

From Core

The Specialized Series XLITE 2 is a one-strut foil kite that's tuned to perfection. By fusing the power of our Nexus allrounder and the superlative drifting from our unbeatable Section wave kite we created a foiling machine that's an honest 30% lighter than the already light Nexus. The new CoreTex 2.0 canopy features massively improved tear resistance in both directions, slight weight savings, and a new emulsion that improves flight, durability, and longevity. The ExoTex Light on our struts and leading edge is super tough yet lighter than our industry-leading airframe material. Thinner, anti-snag bridles further reduce weight and improve water relaunching.

The canopy material receives a major upgrade that adds more muscle and durability -a big plus- for single strut kites. We added 2 and 3-meter sizes for slicing up the Gorge and a 13.5m for those super-light summer breezes. Heavily modified bridle, panels, and shape accommodate the new smaller sizes to deliver the ultimate foiling experience.

Super fun foil kite

I’m definitely still a beginner with kite foiling, but this kite was an awesome as a first step into the sport. I am 5’11” 200lbs and first session was with the 10m in 9-15kts and it was great!. Definitely a learning experience but still great time haha. The kite flew nicely, it’s definitely different than a 3 or 5 strut kite but I didn’t find it too tricky to use at first which is nice from the beginner’s standpoint.

Great foiling kite

This is my go to foiling kite. I'm 135lbs and in 12-15mph wind I ride either a 9m or 10m and a relatively beginner kite foiler. The Xlite2 provides smooth power when you need it and drifts well when you're pumping downwind. When fully depowered it definitely loses a bit of steering response but that is to be expected. Water relaunch is good especially considering its mainly flown in light wind. It can work as light wind kite for twin tipping in a pinch but there are better options on the market for that. Overall 5-stars as a foil kite.

Swiss army kite for foiling

Amazing kite. Just used it for first time in Turks for 5 days. Was able to use my 10m in a huge range of wind (8mph -18mph)

Amazing kite . Balanced . Super quick launch .

Perfect Foil Kite

This has been my go to light wind foil kite. They took the first generation and refined it to make it even better. Even when taking it out of the bag you can tell that its light! This makes it turn faster, stall less, and overall perform much better on those borderline wind days. Paired with the Pro Sensor bar, this is the $$ setup for kite foiling. Also really solid for teaching on light wind days!

Killer Kite

This is a killer kite for foiling. I have been using this kite for the past couple weeks and found it to be an awesome kite all around. It flies incredibly beautifully and relaunches equally as well. It cuts through the wind really nice and is very responsive. The only downside is how loud it is. When you rip it across the wind window it flutters quite a bit, which takes away from the silence of foiling.

Overall, I really enjoy using this kite. It is my go to foiling kite and probably will be for a while. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a dedicated light wind foil kite.
