F-One Strike V5

Description

The new profile of the F-One STRIKE V5 provides greater efficiency and enhanced comfort in the high end, all while maintaining an excellent planning start and the staple “Going Forward” feeling, with its unique and smooth 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.

F-One Strike V5 features:

• Sweep Control Panel for ideal trailing edge tension control
• Improved speed, stability, upwind abilities and control
• Revised profile for more efficiency and comfort in the high-end all while maintaining an excellent planning start
• Optimized strap positions allow one boom to fit multiple sizes and models across the range
• Interchangeable handle system: All our wings are fitted with our new interchangeable handle system. Whether you’re 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, we’ve got you covered. New for 2025 is the addition of the full carbon boom. Wings come with soft handles pre-installed, but swapping a handle set between wings is quick and easy thanks to our screw less setup.
• 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.
• Sail Engineering: 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: 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.
• Plasma Treatment Coating: 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.
• Staggered Seams: Most of the kite’s back lines tension is distributed through the trailing-edge panels and seams. As seams are significantly stiffer than the fabric they join, they tend to strain under loads and therefore deform the profile. The staggered seams break that line of tension by balancing the stiffness between seams and cloth, which helps distribute the load over a wider area and maintain the original shape even under high loads.
• 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.
• Load Control Paneling: When engineering the load control paneling, we make sure that fabrics panels are warp/weft oriented, meaning that the load path runs through the yarns. Fabric and seams are then in the best position to receive tensions and maintain the original kite shape.

The STRIKE V5 features the innovative Sweep Control Panel that regulates trailing edge tension, ensuring stability, upwind abilities, speed and sustained performance overtime. This Sweep Control Panel 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.

Thanks to its optimized design, stiffness, accelerations, and massive pop and hangtime, the STRIKE will also have you hooked on freestyle. 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.
