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 HM 16 mm carbon foil mast is designed for riders seeking glide, speed, and efficiency, while maintaining an excellent level of stiffness.
Thanks to its high modulus carbon construction and refined 16 mm profile, it significantly reduces drag while maintaining a rigid and stable structure. The result: easier take-offs, smooth acceleration, and a continuous glide sensation, ideal for both pumping and downwind.
Like the other masts in the range, it features a full monobloc construction, with the top plate and mast base molded in a single piece. This design eliminates any mechanical play, improves load transfer, and ensures a direct connection between the board and the foil.
Its slim profile optimizes speed and fluidity while retaining enough stiffness to ensure precise and stable handling, even with larger wings. On the water, this translates into lighter, faster, and more efficient riding.
Available in 75, 80, 85, and 90 cm, the HM V2 16 mm adapts to different disciplines:
75 cm: ideal for pump foil, surf foil, and downwind
80 cm: hybrid size, versatile between surf, wing, and kite
85 cm: perfect for wing foil and all-around use
90 cm: for more margin and control in demanding conditions
👉 Positioned between the HM 18 mm (stiffer and more performance-oriented) and the UHM 13 mm (more extreme), the HM V2 16 mm is the ideal choice for riders looking for the best balance between glide, speed, and control.
As a central element of the foil, the mast directly influences performance, maneuverability, and comfort. The HM V2 16 mm is designed to deliver fast, smooth, and precise riding with excellent energy efficiency.
Each mast is delivered with its protective cover as well as a set of M8 × 25 mm screws, stored in an integrated pocket. It is compatible with all boards equipped with US box rails.
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 – €789
The best compromise. More stiffness and performance while maintaining comfort. 👉 Intermediate to advanced riders, carving, speed
🟠 HM 13 mm – 75 / 80 / 85 cm – €855 – €875
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 – €975
The 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 – €1099
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.
