F-one Strike V2 Modell 2022

Viel mehr als nur ein Wing Der Testsieger in vielen Magazinen. Wing of the Year 2022.

Der F-one Strike V1 ist der Wing, der weltweit am besten verkauft wurde. Worlcupfahrer wie Hugo Marin und der aktuelle Worldchampion Tituan Galea vertrauen auf die Konstruktionsskills von Raphaell Salles und seinem RD Team.

Jetzt ist es Zeit zum Launch des Strike V2. Bisher haben wir noch keine Infos über Performance. Neu sind die Größen, der Shape der Strut. Die Griffe wurden optimiert und die Panels neu ausgerichtet, um mehr Vorspannung und noch mehr Performance zu erreichen. Fly me to the moon.

Die neuen Strikes kommen vorest in den Größen 5.0 und 5.5m². Ab April sind alle Größen verfügbar. Anbei die neue Artikelbeschreibung aus dem Hause F-one. Ein Feedback von Kitemania kommt nachdem ich den 5er das erste mal auf dem Wasser hatte. 

Wing foil sensations are beyond compare. The feeling of freedom you get from being the only connection between the wing and the foil is unique. It is thus essential to make the correct wing choice to enjoy the full experience.

The STRIKE V2 and its improved design will give you even stronger sensations, no matter your skill level.

• Exceptional forward traction to increase upwind and reduce fatigue

• Extended wind range guaranteeing performance and control in all your sessions

• New sizes from 2.5m to 5.5m

Adaptive Wing Design

While the industry trends towards the “all-rigid”, we have developed the Adaptive Wing Design, a unique concept offering the perfect balance between performance and comfort.

It is difficult and uncomfortable to handle a stiff, handheld wing in the high end, especially without a harness. A wing must be able to absorb that power, just like the mast bend or the opening of the leech in windsurfing or the depower in kitesurfing. The STRIKE V2’s Adaptive Wing Design transforms every gust into positive energy. This new wing is designed to adapt through a controlled deformation that allows the preservation of a high-performance profile throughout the entire range of use.

To reach this result, we worked on the leading edge and modified the shape of the central strut. Its cut is now segmented, allowing for an improved control of its curve and its deformations. We also enhanced the wing’s twist.
 
 The Adaptive Wing Design enables a perfect control of the traction. The wing adapts itself to the riding conditions while maintaining an unprecedented stability. It releases power when necessary and takes the shape it needs in any given wind without degrading the quality of the profile.

Materials

Standard materials like Dacron and Polyester are still perfectly suited for exploring the Adaptive Wing Design’s world, and both offer a huge range of design possibilities. Our experience and the feedbacks received on our previous designs have allowed us to better analyze the structural and reinforcement needs of a wing. The STRIKE V2 will be even more solid and durable.

Pre Loaded Canopy

From the beginning, our wings have had a unique canopy tension that can be compared to that of a harden up windsurfing rig. Our wings are therefore “pre-tensioned” and made to adapt. This ideal tension of the trailing edge when riding guarantees much better performances upwind and in light winds.
