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 Foil Carbon Mast UHM 12.5 mm represents the ultimate expression of performance. Thinner, faster, and more demanding, it is designed for riders seeking pure glide and maximum efficiency.
Thanks to its monobloc construction—integrating both the top plate and mast base—combined with Ultra High Modulus (UHM) carbon, this mast reaches an exceptional level of stiffness in an even more refined profile. This design eliminates any mechanical play and maximizes the connection between board and foil, delivering an absolute sense of control.
With only 12.5 mm thickness, drag is reduced to the absolute minimum. The result is immediate: faster take-offs, explosive acceleration, higher top speed, and increased pumping efficiency. The glide becomes extremely smooth, with an almost frictionless feeling—as if the foil disappears beneath your feet.
Despite its ultra-thin profile, UHM carbon ensures maximum stiffness in both flex and torsion. Every input is transmitted instantly, providing ultra-direct control, precise feedback, and a total connection to the foil. Even at high speeds or in demanding conditions, the behavior remains stable, predictable, and perfectly controlled.
👉 The ultimate choice for expert riders seeking uncompromising speed and performance.
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.
