Nouveau boîtier US en carbone moulé
Les Glide V3 sont équipées de notre nouveau boîtier US en carbone moulé, développé en interne par Takoon. Grâce à leur rigidité incomparable, ces nouveaux boitiers apportent une connexion au foil inégalée, une parfaite transmission des efforts et un feeling sans pareil.
Nos nouveaux box de foil sont fabriquées en carbone préimprégné, polymérisé à haute pression et haute température dans un moule en acier. Ce processus permet d’obtenir un boîtier avec des fibres longues de carbone bien compactés, ce qui le rend tout simplement indestructible et ultra rigide.
Grâce à cette construction, si l’on compare nos boitiers carbone aux boitiers classiques comme les Futures, le gain de rigidité et de robustesse est considérable. En effet, généralement fabriqués en plastique injecté chargé avec de la fibre de verre en fibres courtes, les boitiers classiques peuvent présenter de la déformation à l’effort. Sur l’eau, cela se ressent sous forme d’un temps de latence dans la réactivité du foil, que ce soit pour le pumping, pour carver, ou pour les manœuvres. Avec nos nouveaux boîtiers carbone, la transmission des efforts est instantanée et la connexion est ultra rigide.
Plus longs, ces nouveaux boitiers donnent beaucoup plus de liberté de placement de votre foil. Ils viennent en 2 tailles: 33 cm et 38 cm en fonction de la taille de la planche. Ils sont ainsi plus longs de 6 cm et 11 cm que les boîtiers futurs. Ainsi, vous pourrez affiner vos réglages, afin de trouver la position personnelle qui vous convient le plus.
Ils bénéficient aussi d’une double ouverture par rails pour un montage plus rapide : plus besoin de démonter entièrement vos boulons de la platine, il suffit simplement de desserrer les vis, de faire glisser le foil dans les ouvertures et de resserrer les vis et hop, le tour est joué.

Shape
The wings of the X-Glide V2 foil are designed with a moderate aspect ratio of 7.2, making them an ideal choice for beginner and intermediate riders. This aspect ratio, which combines both accessibility and performance, allows for easy and stable progression. The wings offer a gradual and smooth takeoff thanks to their increased lift.
The refined profile and thickness of the X-Glide V2 wings enhance glide, allowing you to reach high speeds effortlessly while providing excellent glide. In terms of maneuverability, the outline of the wings makes it easy to carve beautiful turns, while their compactness due to the mid-aspect ratio ensures simple and smooth transitions.
Materials
To make the X-Glide V2 foil as affordable as possible for beginner and intermediate riders, we chose to manufacture the front wings using fiberglass with carbon reinforcements and an outer layer of exposed prepreg carbon. This bi-composite construction allows us to offer an accessible foil while providing mechanical properties and rigidity that are more than sufficient for its intended use. By avoiding an entirely carbon construction, we were able to reduce costs and make the sport more accessible to a wider audience. The other components of the foil are made of aluminum, while the Glide 220 stabilizer is made of carbon, ensuring a good balance between performance and cost.
New Connection
To meet our goals of strength and stability, we redesigned the connection with the front wing. Our new system ensures a solid connection with precisely controlled and rigid movement axes. This new assembly also guarantees extreme durability for the front wings, making it ideal for riders who want to jump and practice freestyle.
Modularity
The X-Glide V2 foil will support your progression thanks to its modularity: all wings and stabsfrom the 2024 range HS-Glide, XS-Glide, Flare, Swell, and Pump are compatible with the fuselage of this pack.
