Introducing HITEX, a brand new high-tenacity polyester engineered by F-ONE.

Available in 158g and 178g, this fabric exclusive to F-ONE offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performance.

After working with our fabric manufacturer partners for a long time, F-One decided to use High Tenacity Polyester, a technical material offering a high resistance to elongation and superior durability

The use of this high-tenacity fibre, in weights perfectly adapted to our sport and our designs, has allowed us to reduce the diameter of the leading edge and to limit the use of additional reinforcements. This results in improved aerodynamics and reduced weight, offering better performances.

The HITEX is coated with PLASMA, an innovation exclusive to our supplier, which guarantees increased durability of the fabric. Coupled with high-tenacity polyester fibres, it makes HITEX the most durable material on the market. The stresses applied to the fabric of a kite and that of a wing are very different. The ideal fabric for a wing has increased pressure resistance, limited deformation, and outstanding durability

F-One wings stay in good shape much longer and thus retain their original design and performance over time.

HANDLES 

To further improve and optimize the rider’s control of the wing, we have rigidified our handles while keeping our original, lighter construction that doesn’t include any hard parts that could damage your wing, ding your board, or hitting yourself. Our grippy, ergonomic and comfortable handles allow for some flexibility so your wrist is always in line with your arm. 

This also gave us the opportunity to design the strut just as we liked. The front of it goes down straight away on your front hand before going up into the wing’s profile near your backhand. This leads to a more natural position to sheet in. 

 

PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL 

Thanks to its new design and precise fabric placement, the STRIKE V3 is a masterpiece of aerodynamics. The perfect control of the profile and deformations guarantees unforgettable sessions. 

We kept the STRIKE’s lightweight and unique freefly stability so you can go for long surfs or downwind without worrying about your wing and remain focused on your trajectory and foil. 

In your hands, its legendary planning 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. 

 

WING DESIGN 

Through Sail Engineering, we have conceived a completely new design; everything has been precisely thought-out to adapt the wing’s shape to the tensions and new materials. 

Every panel on the STRIKE V3 is precisely laid to carry a specific load. The front of the wing combines horizontal panels separated by a vertical seam from the innovative radial centre panels, which are mapped to accurately follow every load trajectory. The trailing edge is controlled by a vertical panel in 66g. Small radial cuts are also implemented on the wingtips and on the back of the strut to spread tensions. Aligning the fibre exactly along the load paths means that stretch can be controlled to a never-before-seen level on a wing. 

Thanks to this precise load management, the wind range of the STRIKE is extended at both the high and low end, and the range of wind strengths where the wing feels perfect is greater than ever before.

With our staggered seams, the fabric and its seams work better to keep a smooth and efficient profile and the flying shape of the wing never deforms under load. The control of the profile is ideal, especially in the high end where stability is superb to ride fully balanced on both arms and in total comfort. 

The new trailing edge tensions and radial cuts have brought incredible performance and control. Located on the back of the strut, our innovative Load Diffuser made of overlapping panels of hard Mylar and Dacron further helps maintain the profile sleek and efficient, leading to ultimate stability, performance, and longevity. 

Every reinforcement on this wing has been reviewed to ensure durability and to save weight. 

With the STRIKE V3 delivering stability beyond compare, we could have a flatter dihedral angle and thus reach a bigger projected area. In turn, the power and pumping abilities are even more improved for planning starts. This allows riders to use a smaller wing or board than before. 

A new and slightly more compact outline with less span makes the STRIKE V3 easier to pump and ride. The centre of traction has been perfectly placed right in front of the rider to guarantee a perfect balance on both arms. 

Finally, all profiles have been revised to accommodate our new parameters. We were able to slightly reduce the V3’s profile thickness to bring even more comfort and control in strong winds. The high-end potential of this STRIKE V3 is impressive, with effective forward traction that won’t let you overexert yourself even when overpowered.
