The GTS4 delivers a confident<br />
and stable platform to master<br />
your first backroll or your latest<br />
backroll kiteloop transition with<br />
a tail grab.<br />
As expected from a CORE Universal+<br />
Series high performance<br />
allrounder, you will also find<br />
DNA from wave and freeride<br />
kites. For those inclined to use<br />
their new GTS4 in the waves will<br />
find its improved down the line<br />
drifting and super fast down<br />
loops to be seriously grin inducing.<br />
Kiters not feeling the freestyle<br />
vibe will appreciate the<br />
GTS4’s improved wind range<br />
on those unforgettable 20km<br />
downwinders.<br />
CORE’s obsession with the<br />
smallest of details continues<br />
with new GTS4. Only, the highest<br />
quality components like<br />
its new ExoTex frame and bridle<br />
lines are sourced even if they<br />
cost a little more. CORE carries<br />
over its highly intelligent trim<br />
system which offers fully adjustable<br />
back line tension (aka<br />
trim), bar pressure and kite turning<br />
speed to give stylers the<br />
freedom to customize their ride.<br />
Huge valves make pumping up<br />
the kite a cinch. Naturally, we<br />
recommend pairing the GTS4<br />
with the superlative Sensor bar<br />
system; the lightest, most direct,<br />
feeling bar on the market<br />
with the only no push, no pull<br />
quick release.<br />
Europe’s favorite kiteloop...<br />
unhooked...freestyle ninja is coming<br />
to a store near you in nine<br />
sweet sizes from 5 to 13.5m. And<br />
don’t forget about the GTS4 LW<br />
lightwind edition which is available<br />
in 15 and 17m sizes.<br />
The biggest change in the Sensor<br />
2S is the new ceramic untwist<br />
function. The original Sensor<br />
2 required the user to pull<br />
on the bar to unravel front line<br />
twists after rotations and kite<br />
loops. The new model replaces<br />
the stainless steel bearing on<br />
the Rotor quick release with a<br />
hi-tech ceramic ball bearing design.<br />
Now, front lines virtually<br />
self unwind. “It’s durable and<br />
ingenious.” comments Ilfrich.<br />
The bearing is designed to crush<br />
any small particle that may<br />
find its way in. A little attention<br />
and a quick rinse now and then<br />
will ensure long lasting performance.<br />
Just try the new 2S.” suggests<br />
Ilfrich. He is confident the<br />
improvements to the already<br />
exceptional Sensor 2 bar are<br />
measureable and performance<br />
boosting. In addition to the 2S,<br />
the Pro model incorporates an<br />
all carbon bar, full Tectanium<br />
lines from kite to chickenloop,<br />
and Vario line lengths. 2S and<br />
Pro model too much for you?<br />
Then stick with the original bar.<br />
You won’t be disappointed. CO-<br />
RE’s biased advice is to try ‘em<br />
all. They tell us everyone who<br />
tries the 2S, sticks with it.
