CORE GT - The ultimate high performance all-rounder!

ALL IN ONE - The appeal of the new Delta-kite from CORE lies in it's amazing balance
and performance, achieved by morphing the best features
of a ‘C’ and a Bow into a Delta shape. With 4 line simplicity.

The GT combines the amazing vertical and low end power of the ‘Riot’ with the agility and high end of the original "Combat Wave", to offer explosive power with a very direct Bar feel. Quite unique!
FEEL IT

Together with the revolutionary Auto-Relaunch and the Core “Fast-Pump-System” the GT has a pressure-less safety system similar to that of a 5 liner but using only 4 lines.

No wonder this kite took 5 more months to develop than its sister, the ‘Combat Wave’.
QUALITY

CORE products have manufacturing and quality standards that are unique in the kite industry so as to produce a superior quality product that will last and last and last. Love the Germans

Rate of failure and complaint "tends towards zero" at CORE.

a1 dude, a small amount of research on the overblown gt hype that we've already had to endure on forums this year would have saved you a world of red thumbs. quoting from the company's website and having nothing useful to add is not going to make you friends or sell kites round here. nothing against gt, just i prefer to read informative reviews, not marketing poop that's been posted a million times before.

keep reviews real.

Exactly, been pimped as a 'beginner friendly', too much performance and beginners equals yellow danger kites. Crashing around like drunken wasps.
Oh and BTW seen far too many broken flimbsy trim strap buckles to give a zero failure rate!!
