F-One Strike V5 ALUULA Wing

The new F-ONE STRIKE ALUULA wing takes everything you love about the STRIKE and enhances it with cutting-edge ALUULA fabric. This super light wing offers impressive performances and freestyle abilities, as well as augmented efficiency and comfort in the entire wind range. Its innovative and refined design lead to improved tension control, stability, and outstanding performance over the long term.

• ALUULA strut for less drag and greater performances and lightness
• ALUULA Sweep Control Panel for ideal trailing edge tension control
• Unmatched speed, maneuverability, freestyle abilities, and freefly capabilities
• Impressive forward traction in total comfort
• Revised profile for more efficiency and comfort in the high-end all while benefitting from an excellent planing start
• Optimized strap positions allow one boom to fit multiple sizes and models across the range

Thanks to the super-light and stiff ALUULA 103g fabric, strategically placed on the wing, this new STRIKE ALUULA is not only lighter but also more responsive, offering unmatched speed and freestyle performance. With this wing, new heights and World records are within reach.

This wing also features our innovative Sweep Control Panel that regulates trailing edge tension, ensuring stability, upwind abilities, speed and sustained performance overtime. This Sweep Control Panel, in ALUULA on this model, ideally reinforces the front part of the leading edge and helps control its rearward deformation, while maintaining lateral flex for comfort and energy transfer during pumping.

The strut of this new model is also designed in ALUULA, which leads to more stiffness and control. Thanks to the mechanical properties of this light and resistant material, the strut is thinner as well. This results in less drag and a noticeable reduction in weight, which also favors transitions and freefly.

The new profile of this STRIKE ALUULA provides greater efficiency and enhanced comfort in stronger conditions, all while benefitting from an excellent planing start and the staple “Going Forward” feeling of the STRIKE with its unique forward traction. A new radial cut minimizes unwanted wing deformations, while a revised strut and connection to the leading edge significantly boosts stability and upwind performances in all conditions.

Thanks to its optimized design, stiffness, accelerations, and massive pop and hangtime, the STRIKE ALUULA will boost your performances in freestyle as well. For your rotations, the wing turns easily on its own, allowing you to land all your tricks and try out new ones.

The optimized strap positioning enables a single Carbon Boom to fit multiple sizes and wing models across the entire F-ONE wing range.

Technology

SAIL ENGINEERING

Sail engineering is the science of controlling our design and its behavior
while flying. These features have been created with one goal in mind:
Mastering the kite’s loads to maintain the desired shape for the longest
time.

HITEX

To meet the specific needs of the development of wings and kites, and to offer a high-performance and durable product without using inaccessible materials, F-ONE has developed HITEX, a new high tenacity polyester. Available in 158g, and exclusively for F-ONE in 178g, this new material is incredibly resistant to elongation and increases the durability of wings and kites.

HITEX is an innovative, high tenacity polyester fiber with an enhanced high-quality weaving and coating that increases the fabrics’ resistance. The 178g is a new weight and perfectly matches the needs of the center strut and center of its leading edge. The lighter 158g is used in the leading edge tips.

Used throughout the inflatable structure of the wings and kites and designed to handle the high pressures when inflating, HITEX offers performance and resistance. Thanks to extensive Sail Engineering work, the R&D team has placed each weight of HITEX in different areas allowing absolute control of the shape session after session.

TECHNOFORCE

TEIJIN’s TECHNOFORCE™ is the most reliable high density polyester fabric. Its tear-stopping structure using thin and high tension yarn makes the fabric ultra-durable.

ALUULA®

The ALUULA Gold represents a pioneering category of composite material. This dacron benefits from an ultra-lightweight yet incredibly durable composition.
Its unmatched strength-to-weight ratio allows for faster speeds, higher jumps, and greater maneuverability.

When strategically used to stiffen struts like in our STRIKE CWC, the ALUULA Gold ensures that the wing is lightweight, robust and long-lasting, while also enhancing performance and responsiveness on the water.

REACTOR VALVE

The reactor inflation valve offers a high flow connection that twist locks the pump hose to the kite for an easy and super-fast inflation and deflation at the push of a button.
