MATERIALS:
The leading edge of the Strike CWC remains in HITEX 158g and 178g. This high tenacity polyester offers great resistance to elongation and therefore greater durability and performances. Both HITEX weights are perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in this area.
The innovation of this wing lies in the strategic placement of Aluula on its three struts. Thanks to the mechanical properties of this light and resistant material, the central strut is now thinner. This results in less drag and a noticeable reduction in weight, which also favors freefly and handling during downwinders or jibes. Finally, the Aluula struts reduce inertia during maneuvers, transitions, and pumping.
Guaranteeing performance and durability, our thicker TECHNOFORCEā¢/D2 in 66g has been placed on the trailing edge where tensions are important and resistance essential. The rest of the wingās canopy is in TECHNOFORCEā¢/D2 in 52g.
DESIGN:
The central strut of the CWC is now completely straight, which allows us to better control its deformation and possible twisting, while reducing drag. As a result, the infill is a bit lower and deforms less, and weāve extended it almost all the way to the back. Our innovative Load Diffuser is reduced for weight gain, especially during freefly.
Weāve also added dihedral angle to improve stability and keep the wingtips out of the water when pumping and riding. The new leading and trailing edge tensions help keep the profile smooth and stable for incredible performance and control.
The wingās body features a horizontal cut to optimize the weight of the seams on these large-surface, light-wind wings. The trailing edge features a vertical cut in 66g for ideal traction control. A small radial cut is implemented on the back of the strut to spread tensions. Finally, the Load Diffuser further helps maintain the profile sleek and efficient, leading to the ultimate stability, performances, and longevity.
The accurate panel layout, precise load management and staggered seams continue to bring exceptional control of the profile. The materials are also perfectly distributed to account for the different tensions, high pressures, and weight distribution in each specific area.
Handles:
The new CWC is fitted with our new interchangeable handle system. Soft, hybrid or rigid handles, you now get to customize handles at your preference.
STRIKE CWC VALVES:
This wing features two highly efficient valves: one of the central strut and one on the leading edge. These two areas of the wing face different forces, and thus require two different pressure recommendations. As a result, the central strut is thinner in diameter and gains in rigidity thanks to its independent valve that allows for a better control of it's pressure.
INTERCHANGEABLE WING HANDLES SYSTEM:
All F-One wings are fitted with our new interchangeable handle system. Whether youāre looking for a light and comfortable setup with soft handles, a more direct and aggressive ride with hard handles or something in between with our innovative hybrid handles, weāve got you covered.
Wings come with soft handles pre-installed, but swapping a handle set between wings is quick and easy thanks to our screwless setup.
