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.
Presentation
The UHM 13 mm masts push the limits of stiffness and performance even further. Thanks to a monobloc construction integrating both the top plate and mast base, combined with Ultra High Modulus (UHM) carbon, they deliver exceptional power transmission and precision.
This seamless design eliminates any mechanical play and strengthens the connection between the board and the foil. The result is instant take-offs, ultra-smooth glide, and total control—even in the most demanding conditions.
As the central element of the foil, the UHM 13 mm stands out with stiffness that exceeds standard high modulus carbon. Every input is transmitted instantly, with no energy loss, ensuring outstanding stability at high speed, precise control even with large wings, and immediate responsiveness underfoot. The behavior remains predictable and perfectly controlled, even under heavy load.
With its ultra-thin 13 mm profile and optimized chord, this mast significantly reduces drag to deliver exceptionally pure glide. Despite its slim design, flex and torsion are perfectly controlled thanks to UHM carbon, ensuring ultra-direct handling, surgical precision, and a complete connection to the foil.
👉 A mast designed for demanding riders seeking pure performance and uncompromising sensations.
Which mast should you choose?
Takoon masts come in three constructions, offering a clear progression in stiffness and performance:
- HR (High Resistance): forgiving, comfortable, and accessible
- HM (High Modulus): stiffer, higher performance, with excellent balance
- UHM (Ultra High Modulus): ultra stiff, direct, and uncompromising
🟢 HR 16 mm – 85 cm – €549
The accessible choice. Stiff yet forgiving, comfortable and easy to ride. 👉 Freeride, versatility, progression
🟡 HM 16 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €759
The best compromise. More stiffness and performance while maintaining comfort. 👉 Intermediate to advanced riders, carving, speed
🟠 HM 13 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €865
The performance choice. Thinner profile for more speed, glide, and precision, with increased demands. 👉 Advanced riders, speed, aggressive carving
🔴 UHM 13 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €955
High-performance choice. Ultra stiff and very direct, maximizing speed and control. 👉 Demanding riders, all-around performance
🔴🔴 UHM 12.5 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €1079
The ultimate choice. Minimal drag, maximum speed, and pure sensations. 👉 Expert riders, downwind, extreme performance
👉 The higher you go in the range, the thinner, stiffer, and more performant the mast becomes… but also more demanding.
