For this third edition of the iconic F-ONE STRIKE, the R&D team has worked on three areas: materials, placement of these materials and design, to improve performance and durability.
Materials
The inflatable structure of the F-ONE STRIKE V3 is made of HITEX 158g and 178g. This brand-new high tenacity polyester, exclusive to F-ONE, offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances. The central strut is thinner in diameter thanks to the HITEX 158g and its independent valve that allows for a better control of its pressure. The longitudinal reinforcements help command its shape and resistance. The four central segments of the leading edge on each side of the strut are made of HITEX 178g, while the four outer segments nearer the wing tips are in 158g. Both materials are perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in this area. Since the beginning, F-ONE has kept a thin leading edge diameter at the wingtips, bringing agility, comfort and glide, but also lightness and less inertia. In addition to the new HITEX, they have developed a thicker TECHNOFORCE™/D2 in 66g for the trailing edge where tensions are important and resistance essential. The rest of the wing’s canopy is made using TECHNOFORCE™/D2 in 52g.
Wing Design
Handles
To further improve and optimize the rider’s control of the wing, F-ONE have rigidified the handles while keeping the original, lighter construction that doesn’t include any hard parts that could damage your wing, ding your board, or hit yourself. The grippy, ergonomic and comfortable handles allow for some flexibility so your wrist is always in line with your arm. This also provided the opportunity to design the strut just as they liked. The front of it goes down straight away on your front hand before going up into the wing’s profile near your back hand. This leads to a more natural position to sheet in.
Performance and Control
Thanks to its new design and precise fabrics placement, the F-ONE STRIKE V3 is a masterpiece of aerodynamism. The perfect control of the profile and deformations guarantees unforgettable sessions. They kept the STRIKE’s light weight and unique freefly stability so you can go for long surfs or downwinds without worrying about your wing and remain focused on your trajectory and foil. In your hands, its legendary planing and pumping power are even better. When on the water, the upwind abilities are impressive with an incredibly consistent traction. This wing’s upwind performance is overall greatly enhanced throughout the wind range. If you like to glide and go fast in total control and comfort, the STRIKE V3 will bring performance and stability. For freestyle and jumping, the height and lift will surprise you and all landings will be easier. Virtually a brand-new wing, the V3 is an improvement of the V2 in all areas and pushes the performance of a wing into new territories. While it will surely satisfy riders of the highest level, the STRIKE is also incredibly accessible to anyone wanting to discover wing foiling. The STRIKE V3 has it all and is yet again ahead of the game. Be the first to pick the third.
