Condition

This Core XR8 17m is in great used condition with no large repairs. There are a couple of stains on the white portion of the canopy and a couple of pinhole patches, as noted in the listing photos. The kite is not repair-free: these small patches are part of its disclosed condition. Please review the photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing.

Why Choose the Core XR8 17m?

The XR8 range is designed to bring together lift, hangtime, upwind performance, and forgiving handling. Its stiff five-strut platform and low-stretch canopy support a stable, connected feel, while the Delta Bow design provides a useful balance of power and depower. The adjustable CIT settings let riders tailor the kite’s response to their preferences.

If you are looking for a 17m kite to complement your current setup, this used option lets you consider the XR8 without purchasing new. The right size depends on rider weight, experience, board selection, and local conditions. We can help you decide whether it fits your needs and confirm the appropriate bar setup.
