The Nexus 4 is your gateway to unleashing every aspect of the sport.
A kite designed to meet all kitesurfing needs, and more. Its Future-C-Shape is wonderfully agile and reactive, effortlessly translating the smallest steering impulses into pure, linear power. This is what makes free riding so playful and good wave sessions possible, kite loops become comfortable, and achieving doubles comes within reach, thanks to its lightning-fast, seamless turns without any jerky movements.
Set your goals and script the next chapter of your journey. Nexus 4.

Key Feature Snapshot
EXOTEX® 2 LEADING EDGE
STRONG MATERIAL.
STIFF AIR FRAME.
The high-quality special dacron remains low-stretch in all directions – even under extreme forces. Thanks to an elaborate annealing and coating process, ExoTex 2 achieves an extremely high tensile strength and is still lightweight. You will experience the added value on the water through easier upstreaming, an explosive lift and a defined turning behavior.
CORETEX® 2 CANOPY
MAXIMUM STABILITY AND DURABILITY
The CoreTex® 2 canopy, which was developed exclusively for CORE, is particularly robust and stiffened thanks to a triple reinforcing thread and a special coating process. CoreTex 2 sets the standard in breaking strength, tear resistance, longevity, UV protection, and elongation. Experience the tight, crisp, and signature feel that only a CoreTex kite delivers.
EXOTEX® Light Struts
LIGHTER.
JUST AS ROBUST.
While the ultra resistant ExoTex 2 is used for the leading edge, the struts are made of ExoTex Light. It incorporates a radial thread pattern and emulsion (protective coating) process that reduces mass by approximately ten percent. This combination saves weight, optimises turning behaviour and increases driftability.
3 STRUT LIGHT FRAME
PLAYFULLY LIGHT
3 STRUT LIGHT FRAME
PLAYFULLY LIGHT
Two less struts means two more benefits. On the one hand, the Nexus 4 turns faster, more directly and more freely than a comparable five-strut construction – which brings noticeable advantages in the wave, but also in kiteloops. On the other hand, this makes it particularly light and therefore excellent in drifting.

Future-C Shape
SPEED AND PRECISION
The Nexus 4 relies on the proven Future-C shape, which has been further optimized according to the demands of Nexus riders. Thanks to its moderate aspect ratio, it flies super-fast and direct, remains optimally perceptible and controllable in every turn. This harmonious tuning is rounded off with an incomparably precise pressure point.
CIT Modes
YOUR NEXUS - YOUR PREFERENCES
Three setting options to adjust your Nexus 4 to your personal preferences and external conditions:
1. Flight characteristics at the leading edge: In wave mode tight turning and more depower, in freestyle mode more constant pull and wider loops.
2. Turning characteristics at the tips: You can vary the steering forces and turning speed between "super easy - easy - medium" at the three loops on the tips.
3. Backline Tension and kite feedback at the connection points: choose from three different knots to adjust the directness of your control impulses.
Surf Profile
STABLE DRIFT AND HIGH MANEUVERABILITY
The wing profile is smoother and its highest point sits further back than on the XR8 and GTS6. The Resulting in a super-stable drifting, even with significantly reduced tension on the control lines. Nevertheless, it hangs on the "throttle" again in a flash when you need kite pull.
More Features
Instant Relaunch
WON'T LET YOU DOWN
A slight tug on a control line is all it takes and the Nexus 4 is back in the sky. The reverse start capability is also fully given by the wider tips.
SENSOR BAR READY
GENIUS DUO
The Nexus 4 is optimized for CORE's ultralight Sensor bar system. Together, they feature precise kite control, unbeatable safety features, and straightforward simplicity. Choose the new Sensor 3S Pro bar to unlock ultimate performance.
Speed Valve 2
MAXIMUM AIRFLOW
The Speed Valve 2 easily connects to any standard twist lock pump hose, maximizing airflow, minimizing inflation times, and reducing pump effort.
RADICAL REACTION TIPS
OUTSTANDING REACTIVITY AND AGILITY
The tip geometry of the Nexus 4 allows for cat-like reflexes in big waves. The leading-edge profile ensures high reactivity and agility in kiteloops.
GRINTEX® PATCHES
ABRASION-RESISTANT FRONT TUBE
Anti-wear patches where you need them most. The extreme abrasion-resistant patches located on the leading edge segment seams and strut tips offer another layer of security against any potential beach hazards.
Speed Pump System
EFFICIENT AIR MANAGER
With optimal access points to the struts, the air distribution system works effectively and efficiently. This inflation/deflation system is so exceptional that you might not even need your electric pump anymore.
