On the water it immediately feels like a predictable and dependable partner.
The other significant tweak is the inclusion of ExoTex Light in the struts – developed for the X-Lite, this lighter weight Dacron has proved its worth and has now been rolled out to the Nexus 2 resulting in a weight reduction of around 10%. CORE are calling these their Radical Reaction Tips and they have been one of the main focuses for this incarnation, designed to improve turning speed and responsiveness without compromising the all-round appeal of the Nexus. The first thing that you’ll spot with the new Nexus is wider tips with a distinctive knuckle. Part of their Universal+ Series of kites (which generally have a ‘specialty’ but are also usable in other disciplines), the Nexus sat itself clearly in the middle – a kite for waves and freestyle with no clear preference in either department.Īs with all their kites, the Nexus is on a two (ish) year design cycle so V2 of the Nexus has been refined over a solid period of time and is definitely not just a graphics refresh. With this market in mind, the Nexus arrived with considerable fanfare from CORE a couple of years ago.
As kiters we have realized that versatility does not have to mean compromise, and also that these kites really work, and work to a high level. It is hard to imagine that a few years ago the three-strut all-rounder wasn’t really a thing, whereas now it is the biggest sector in the market.
