This is the original review.

Given the shape of the Xplore, it is not love at first sight for someone who has been kiting for years. A double connection with the pointed wing tip usually means a slow-responding kite with heavy bar pressure and only comfortable in light winds. Like a Slingshot Rally for example.

But that's not the story with the Xplore. It's much faster, less cumbersome and much more fun than you'd expect. The combination of big jumps with a nice bang and the chance to smoothly move your kite forward again for a good landing is a wonderful mix of ease and excitement. It is not as fast as an F-one Bandit or Cabrinha FX. But the relatively low aspect ratio (longer struts) makes it quite easy to loop the kite. Is it less suitable for beginners? On the contrary. It is quite powerful on the bar (medium plus bar pressure), making it easy to know where the kite is. And what it does better than most other beginner flyers is how easily the power is released by pushing the bar away. Which extends its wind range a lot to a very respectable high end. All in all, a kite with quite unique combinations that will be difficult to beat.
