I own a 8m and 13.5m XR6, so I was a fan before as the XR range finally allowed me to jump with confidence as I knew I wouldn't just fall from the sky and fuck my feet as it happened before with other freeride kites from top brands like Eleveight and Cabrinha. This allowed me to move from simple jumps to +10m jumps and doing all kinds of front rolls and backrolls.

Now I bought a 10m XR7 after owning 9m and 10m freeride and big air kites from other brands with which I wasn't happy as they weren't as forgiving and powerful as the XR. Its range has an incredible fit in my quiver, whereas with my other 9m and 10m I always felt over or underpowered for that size. And it has all the great things about an XR and more. It has a great grunt and pulls you up in the jumps very fast, while allowing to fly down smoothly. And while learning how to do kiteloops the 10m XR7 feels not that differently than the 8m XR6!

I had the opportunity to test an older XR kite and fell in love with the handling and confidence it gave me to push myself. So I took the leap of faith and I ordered the XR7 from BAK. Mike was very generous with his time & expertise and personally guided me through my order. Top service!

Every purchase supports BAK team riders of your choice. This personal touch makes me feel a part of the growth of our sport.

As for the kite, the XR7 became a game changer for me. My second session I pulled my first frontroll kiteloops... from zero to hero... I never even tried normal powered kiteloops before this... The kite is so intuitive that I simply trust it will be where I feel when I am on my back in the blind during the rotation.

Jumps are so much fun with the XR7. This kite allows intermediate kiters like myself to launch some decent jumps without a lot of technical perfection. It could make me lazy but actually it tempted me to try harder on the technical aspects to achieve better jumps.

Highly recommend this kite and BAK is the place to get it!!!

Thanks for the quick service! After testing the new XR7 in Tarifa I ordered one via BAK, it arrived even before I reached home!! Super happy with BAK service! Thanks a lot

These bars are sold out almost everywhere, but i received mine quick. What i like most about is the new coating, it feels very nice when i'm on the water and enjoying what i like most. Also to mention, the big air kite team was very helpful when i had questions regarding the bar.

Loops better, catches faster and I believe it will jump higher

After riding the kite I think there are three biggest changes that has made the XR7 even more amazing. - it is a faster kite, you can feel it while looping as it goes around faster and with more power - it is easier to jump higher. I have realized that right now it’s way easier to edge up wind before the take off meaning that it is easier to jump more vertical rather than horizontal. That also makes it easier to loop bigger kites like 9 and 10m - lastly the downloops are way liftier. It's just like a helicopter. You will ALYWAYS be lifted up. This kite is like magic. I don’t even want to ride my Xr6 any more

My go to kite for boosting and hangtime. Great top end in high wind.

Thanks for quick delivery as well
