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 provide a smooth and gradual takeoff thanks to their increased lift. The refined profile and thickness of the X-Glide V2 wings enhance glide, allowing riders to reach high speeds effortlessly while offering excellent glide. In terms of maneuverability, the wings' outline 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 out of fiberglass with carbon reinforcements and an outer skin 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 our 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 achieve our goals of strength and stability, we redesigned the connection with the front wing. Our new system ensures a solid connection, with perfectly controlled and rigid axes of movement. 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 stabs from the 2024 range HS-Glide, XS-Glide, Flare, Swell, and Pump are compatible with the fuselage of this pack.
Equipment
Complete Pack
When you purchase our X-Glide V2 foil, you receive a complete set of equipment ready to ride: the X-Glide V2 front wing, the stabilizer, the mast, the fuselage, as well as the plate and the mast/fuselage connector. Additionally, a full set of hardware and a wrench are included to help you assemble your foil quickly and get on the water right away. You will also receive a detailed user manual and a specially designed transport bag to carefully store and transport all your foil components.
Mast
The X-Glide V2 foil is offered in a package with our 85 cm aluminum mast. This mast height is the most versatile for beginners and progression on all types of water.
Providing the best balance between affordability and rigidity, this mast ensures an excellent connection between the rider and the foil, delivering the most direct sensations possible.
Sacrificial Anode
The fuselage of the X-Glide V2 is made from aluminum and includes a sacrificial anode to prevent oxidation. This design ensures increased durability of the foil, protecting it from corrosion and extending its lifespan. The plate and mast/fuselage connector are also aluminum, while all the hardware is made from stainless steel, providing additional resistance to marine conditions.
Stab
The X-Glide V2 comes with the Glide 220 stab. This stab is specially designed to enhance glide while providing great stability, making progression easier.
You can then adjust your foil's performance by simply changing the stabilizer: choose a smaller Glide stabilizer for increased speed and glide, or switch to the Carve stabilizer for more radical maneuverability. This flexibility allows you to tailor your equipment to your riding style and personal preferences.
