Suunto launches limited edition Core

Red Bull X-Alps partner Suunto has launched a limited edition version of its award winning Suunto Core outdoor sports instrument. The Suunto Core Extreme - Limited Edition features a refreshed, brave design, and will be available in a limited number of 3000 individually numbered pieces.

Suunto Core instruments will be supplied to all Red Bull X-Alps athletes to help them meet the challenges that await them during this extreme race.

Combining advanced ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) functions, the instrument shows elevation gained and lost, and records sessions for review. The automatic alti/baro mode switches between altimeter and barometer depending on the activity. Along with the compass setting, the three functions are valuable tools for Red Bull X-Alps atheltes who depend on their equipment to help them navigate and keep tabs on the weather situation.

The Suunto Core Extreme - Limited Edition will be available at selected retailers from July 2009. Retailer details will be announced soon, but for more information on this instrument, click here.
